2010 - My Life in Pictures: May 2010

It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn…it’s 2010!

In the past, the prospect of a new year has brought hope, goals, resolutions, and clean slates. The beginning of this decade was inauspicious at best as I was laid up with a nasty case of strep throat. In fact, I was so under the weather that I actually forgot to bask in the novelty and freshness of not only a new year, but a new and promising decade. In order to regain that feeling, I’ve started a new project. I’m going to document what will surely prove to be a magical and glorious year by keeping a photo journal. Last year was full of changes, blessings, transitions, and missteps; however many of the details are muddy or forgotten. This year I will take a photograph every day and post it here with a brief description. Sometimes I feel like my life is a monotonous string of mornings and midnights, the hours in between being largely mundane and fleeting. But I know this isn’t true! I will seek out the blessings, the lessons, and the epiphanies and I will be grateful for them all. I once read that how you spend your time is how you spend your life. I want to make sure that I’m spending wisely and I want to remember, if not each and every moment, at least the notable ones. Dear friends, I invite you in for a peak into my world. It may not always be pretty or universally significant, but it’s mine…and that makes it worthwhile.

Happy New Year all!

*Note – I am not a photographer or the owner of a high-end camera.
The photo quality may be inferior, but the days these pictures represent are most certainly not.

Easter Weekend - 2010 (Captain Jack's)

Easter weekend was quite an extravaganza of good times. It began with a well-spent evening at Captain Jack's with good friends and random strangers. I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned Captain Jack's in this blog but it is the BEST pub ever in terms of people watching. Todd calls it "The Reverse Cougar Bar" because many of the little hoochie barflies (think tight white pants and plastic heels) seem to be on a mission to pick up men twice their age. It also happened to be the one-year anniversary of my first date with Todd. :)

May 20th, 2010 - Let's try this again, shall we?

Hello dear friends and readers. Once again, I have started a blog only to let it drift into oblivion when I got too busy. I’m announcing today, if anyone is still reading, that I’m picking up the thread and renewing my commitment to this project!

April was a very busy month for me. I went to California, I spent the Easter in Belleville with my significant other’s parents and friends, work became quite hectic and I let it all overwhelm me. May also had an inauspicious beginning with several visits to the vet with the girls (cha-ching!) and a few other noteworthy surprises which I will divulge in due course.

I will be posting photos of some of the highlights of the past 8 weeks and I hope there are a few people still out there that might actually care. ;)

Let the games begin…again.
