Day 35: leaf crafting

yarn + mini clothespins + leaves cut from assorted colors of wool felt

Day 34: tomatoes (again)

from my "garden"

Day 33: blue sky and the space needle

driving to book club on a Tuesday evening

I love this city

Day 32: birch

I feel a birch obsession coming on...

it all started with my new candle holders I found on etsy

Day 31: fall food

mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette and apples

roasted brussel sprouts

acorn squash lasagna (recipe courtesy of Martha)

Day 30: fresh flowers and painted toes

I have a new Saturday tradition:

yoga at the Magnolia community center with Kelly

lunch or breakfast-for-lunch at Serendipity

buying fresh flowers at the Magnolia farmers market

painting my toenails to match the flowers (that will probably only be this one time)

Day 29: density columns

Day 28: first match of the season

Day 27: university bridge

Day 26: curriculum night aka i need a drink

Curriculum night is over for another year!

I'd feel a lot better if...

- I didn't have 20 journals to grade tonight

- I didn't have badminton practice at 6am

- I knew what the heck I was teaching tomorrow

But hey, it will all work out somehow! 

Maybe I should make a category just for posts about drinking.

 

Day 25: fall decorating

Instead of grading I decided to do some fall decorating...

Day 24: beauty parlor for cats

Dinah spent 5 hours at the beauty parlor today.

She got all of her mats combed out and a little trim around the paws and head.

Yes, she has super long paw hair.

They said there were a ton of calicoes there that day.

They even tried to send me home with Daphne, coincidentally also a Persian calico.

Day 23: sick and uninspired

Boring photo but I love my shower curtain.

Day 22: "B"LT

Day 21: grading, tea and a movie

Multiply this stack times five and you'll know why I hate grading so much...

Day 20: fall ladies dinner

Day 19: tip to base @ motor

Day 18: banana bread

At 9 tonight I realized I hadn't yet taken a picture. 

So, banana bread.

I made it yesterday using Molly Wizenburg's recipe. 

It has a cinnamon sugar topping. 

Amazing. 

Really. 

You too can experience this incredible "bread" 

(more like cake) by using her recipe.

First 16 Days

Day 16: ALS walk

Today we walked in memory of Sandy Kasner, my good friend's mom.

This is a photo of her high school photo. She was so pretty!

Day 15: favorite magazine

I've been in love with this magazine forever.

Just bought the latest issue...

No, I'm not getting married. But it's still fun to look at!

Especially with a gal pal who is also planning an imaginary wedding :)

Day 14: first day of labs

There are so many things I find hilarious about this picture...

Day 13: badminton at 6am

I can't deny that this is a great way to start the day. 

Even if it's still dark outside. 

These girls are awesome!

Day 12: first forgotten photo

Today was the first day of project 365 that I forgot to take a photo.

I am a terrible person, obviously.

To compensate, I found a photo that I took on this date last year.

It's the next best thing, right?

Days 11: Fall is here

Just the first of many dark rainy afternoons. 

This one happens to take place on my street while I drove home from work. 

Soon it will be too dark to take pictures at all.

Day 10: walking on Whidbey

Such a great Labor Day weekend! Lots of crabbing, lunch at Toby's, ice cream at Kapaw's, a walk on the Ebey bluff trail, and an amazing dinner of salmon and fresh caught crab.

Day 9: crabbing on Whidbey

Day 8: a photo of a photo (or awkward school photo day)

Day 7: life after work

Day 6: the 60's called, they want their dress back

 First day of school outfit! I had to take the picture while I was driving home...
