Well...

Yeah. I guess I'm done with my 365. Well, not done-done. Just on hiatus. This thing is ridiculously hard to keep up with...at least for me. My work schedule has exponentially grown...a little bit faster than I orginally though it was going to before I started this project. Plus, this past Sunday, I was working out in the yard clearing some brush & leaves & limbing some of the trees. To make a super long story short. I cut myself with the hand saw. Pretty damn bad. Really. ER visit & everything. It was scary, but Tra took care of me very well. I'm proud of her for not freaking out. :)

So, my left arm has been out of commission this week, & that put me even MORE behind on my pictures. Plus, the meds I have for it make me want to sleep CONSTANTLY. Other than that, today has been a good day, & I didn't wear my arm sling to work today, so that is a plus. Feeling good. :)

I'm going to restart my blog this weekend with a picture of my bloody work glove when I had my accident...so, look forward to that one. Then my plan after that is to update weekly. Probably on Sundays with my whole week of photos. It's easier that way. Yeah, I know that it seems like I was doing that before, but eh...at least this time it's planned. You know? I don't have the everyday guilt of not posting...so hopefully that will make me feel better. I hate to start something & not finish it.

That's all for now...gotta go BACK to the gym...love you all.

p.s. - oh, btw, the vegetarian thing is going great. I feel good & haven't had any meat since the last time I wrote about it. See, I can stick to some things. :)

Day 30: Mouse In The House

After confirming with Tra that having a mouse in the house is not that bad, I have decided to make it the picture of the day. This is his bait. We caught him in one overnight trapping session, fed him some bread, and sent him on his way. He is now running free in the farthest cul-de-sac from our house. :)

Day 27: Pizza Night

As some of you may know, we make our own pizzas at home with our awesome Pizza Pizzazz! machine I got at Wally World a christmas ago for Tra. That thing rocks ass. Seriously. Hm, did you know that this Ragu Light has all natural ingredients? I was surprised. We've pretty much upped the ante on what foods we have in the house. I'm learning a lot about different chemicals that are in foods & better alternatives to eating those chemicals. I'm not going to be a pain in the ass about food with all of you, so don't worry.

It seems like whenever anyone mentions better food choices or eating vegetarian foods people make a face and instantly become defensive & judgemental. I can't figure it out. Never will I ever make anyone feel bed about what they choose to eat. BUT I don't want to see that face from anyone anymore...it's kind of upsetting. Like, today...well it started last night. We went to the Capital Ale House downtown, I ordered the black bean vegetarian burger because I wanted something healthy. Other people did too. I was proud. Anyway. I've been back & forth with going for an all-vegetarian diet for a solid month or more now. It's a hard transition, for me at least. Really hard to change habits.

Well, I went through the whole day today without eating any meat whatsoever. I'm pretty proud of myself. I mean, I know it's only one day, but it's a start & i'm taking it meal by meal. I really wasn't planning on blogging about my doing this change, but I did, so here it is. Hopefully everyone will be supportive & not get on my case for it. I won't judge your eating habits, so don't judge mine. Especially while I'm getting used to this...it's no big deal, so I'm sure it will be fine. Right? :)

Damn, that's a lot of talking all for a dumb picture of an empty Ragu jar...

Day 26: Cherry Love

Grocery Shopping Sunday! Yippee! Ugh, food shopping sucks. Lugging around a giant cart of junk just to spend $200 on stuff you're gonna poop out anyway...what a way to spend a mid-morning on a day off. This is our coupon book we use...we are HUGE on coupons. Safe tons of money, takes a little longer to get them all in order, but it's definitely worth it.

Day 25: There's Some Movement On The Western Front!

Wow. So, Tra's brother finally came around & asked us BOTH to come up to his place (near DC) to have dinner with him & his fiancee...don't even get me started. To make a forever long story short, it went well. Tracy is now in the wedding & I'm actually invited. Can you believe that shit?...oh, i mean crap.

The shoe pictures are because I wore them up to dinner with a perfectly coordinating shirt & belt. Holler. Always pimpin...never changes. ha. :)
