We're Having A...

Well, you know me. All I can say is that it's a baby. If you'd like to see a profile shot from the ultrasound you can click the [365] link at the right. I've also added a few other pictures from the last few days. I thought it was funny that some random guy wants to add my "I voted" picture to their group. Yeah, I don't think so... I will let you know that we told the ultrasound tech up front that we didn't want to know, so he warned us when we we're in any areas that could give things away. I did see something at the begining, and if I were more confident in my abilities I would say that we're having another boy, but... well, let's just say I'm not holding my breath. I am not really confident in my abilities and *B* didn't see the same thing I did. That said, we're having a baby! Enjoy the Journey!

[365] Questions Answered

I am not sure where the 365 thing started. I know of a guy who did a portrait of a different person every day for a year...365 portraits. I know of a self-portrait challenge site. I know of two women who have collaborated and took photos of a year of mornings. This year they're doing a year of evenings. It's pretty cool. Ali is doing the 365 self portrait challenge, as are Elsie and Amber. I just found this guy and am going to steal some of his portrait ideas. And of course, the Hula Seventy lady. I really like her. She is doing a photo a day... not self portraits. Mine may turn into that too, but I figured that we're all lacking photos of ourselves since we're generally the ones behind the camera. Why not try the self-portrait route. Erin asked if I was also trying different camera techniques etc. Yeah, not so much. Maybe I'll start playing around, but for now... pretty happy to just do this. I hope you like the links. I know there are so many more out there, but these are the ones I've stumbled across and I really like them. These ladies (and the couple of guys) are so incredibly talented and inspiring. I think they would be really fun to know. Life would never be dull. Enjoy the Journey!

[365]: My Newest Project

I don't know if any of you "surf" enough to know about this project. It is really widespread and trendy is probably the best word to describe it. The idea is to take one photo of yourself every day for 365 days. I think it's kind of cool and I've been doing it a little lately. Some day when I understand what committment is and when I have the gumption to actually do it I might be serious, but for now I'm just taking it one day at a time and trying not to stress about it. I should also be taking the opportunity to really learn how to work my camera and all of the nifty things it can accomplish, but again, that would require more gumption than I'm up for right now. Here's a peek at the few I've got so far (I've set up a flicker link for the next bunch. Let me know if you have trouble accessing it)...

1*[365]: My first official shot. I like it. I think it says a lot about me. Do you love the socks with my crocs? I also get a kick out of the random way I sudoku. Do you sudoku?

2*[365]: I voted. I hope you did too. *B* is very disappointed that his guy, Mitt, is probably out of it. We've been very wrapped up in the debates etc. around here. Now he says that we're just going to have to hold our noses and vote for McCain.

3*[365]: See that? It's the print out pages of our tax return! Wahoo! I'm so glad that's done and we're getting a return that will help pay for our baby in July (1st), and our vacation in October. Maybe if we work it right we can even get some food storage out of it. I hate paying taxes, but I would never be able to save the money we get from the returns, so I just look at it as a savings account. I know, that's really dumb! Just so you know, this may just end up being another "unfinished project" I've undertaken, but that's okay. I'm cool with that! Enjoy the journey!
