Day 13 ~ Jan 30 2009 ~ Cell phone drama

I was almost ready to toss/break my camera phone but decided to give it one more chance to redeem itself. Lucky phone. Anyway, I found that the little darlin stored ALL my text and photo messages and was using up all the memory. I couldn't send pictures because the phone was jammed with MBs of my messages. So I played with buttons and finally found out how to delete all the sent messages. I didn't know the phone stored them. Live and learn. This was my test photo which I sent to my email account. I actually like it. But never fear, I'm still thinking about getting a digital SLR (DSLR).

Day 12 ~ Jan 29 2009 ~ Radiology Room


Since I'm somewhat documenting my daily life, I decided to keep today's entry simple. I went for my regular mammogram and didn't have my little Canon camera - only the cell phone. Hence, the grainy pictures. But here is the room and here is me and here is the wall art in the little changing room. I haven't gotten the results yet and am praying that all is well. I saw the digital images and they looked okay to me. Fascinating stuff.

Day 11 ~ January 28 2009 ~ Mornings with Molly

My little porkchop, Molly, actually decided she would let me take her picture without use of a flash. It's the only way I can get her picture without green eyes (yes, I said green eyes - not red). As I type this entry, she's laying across my lap here in my office/computer room. It's 24 degrees outside and it's only 8:50pm. The skies are clear and the humidity is very low. Beautiful sunshine today which makes up for this cold.

Day 10 ~ January 27 2009 ~ Mornings with Molly

Here's what I get to see every morning - Molly all curled up on a little down throw. She loves to next and burrow in the covers. Sometimes, she decides to get under the covers next to me. This is all fine and good in the Winter. In the summer, it's another story. Good thing it's just Molly and me.

Bloody cold in Flagstaff this morning. We had a small snow shower last night - maybe 3" of the powder over what was trying to dry out. Streets were very slick on the way to work. But the sun was shining all day so most streets and highways are clear and dry. Yesterday, 11:00am, I almost slid into a parked car as I was turning into the parking lot at the dentist's office. Glad nobody was around. I've got enough dents in my car already.

Day 9 ~ January 26 2009 ~ Bodacious bottles in waiting

I'm getting ready to take a class with Cindy Kovack on Feb. 28 at Frenzy Stamper in Scottsdale. I have extra bottles for her Bodacious Bottles creations. I figured the best way to show her what I have that can be used in the class for others who don't have bottles is to take a photo, one of my 365 photos, and get it posted. I'm lazy today. It's cold and lightly snowing, again. I slid into the parking lot at the dentist's office this morning. Oh, the joys of living in Flagstaff, AZ.

You'll see the finished product(s) in March. Oh, here's the link to Cindy's blog where you'll find out more info about her classes at Frenzy Stamper as well as Art Unraveled in August.

Day 8 ~ January 25 2009 ~ Viva de Mexico charm necklace

I thought I'd compare my two digital cameras for today's posting. This one was taken with the Nikon Coolpix 950 using the macro setting. I can see the difference. This is taken with the Canon PowerShot point and shoot. I usually carry the Canon in my purse so I can get a shot whenever and wherever. The Nikon is a little heavier. When I get around to getting the Nikon D90 DSLR, it will be a much heavier camera and do much more than I can do now.



Day 7 ~ January 24 2009 ~ Oil painting

I have a little Canon PowerShot SD1000 digital camera that is great for quick point and shoot stuff. Here's my very first actual oil painting. Since I'm doing my best to document my year, this is what I did that I feel is important. I got the small easel from a friend who was putting it in our boxes for the Spring 2009 garage sale. Here in Flagstaff, we have to wait for warm and dry weather.
