Day 365: 30th Birthday Party

Because I started this project with a self-portrait, I'm ending this project with a self-portrait. Looking back at the first one, I'm pleased to see that I really don't look any different than I did on my 29th birthday. I'm also pretty excited that I completed my first 365 Project!!

Day 364: Birthday Dinner

My birthday dinner at Applebee's.

Day 363: Next Project

First Year of My 30s

Day 362: Birthday BBQ

We went to Kevin's for a BBQ for his birthday. Sarah got a pinata and after Kevin beat the crap out of it, he wore it as a hat.

Day 361: Honey Wheat Brick

I was reading in my textbook that lumbermen had fresh bread with dinner and that made me want fresh bread. So, I threw the ingredients in the bread-maker and ended up with a brick. It certainly didn't rise like it was supposed to. ":(

Day 360: Lilacs

I was worried my lilac bush wasn't going to bloom this year and I then I discovered it's a late spring bloomer.

Day 359: Old Window

I was cleaning up the garage today (because the builders are going to be starting demolition soon) and I noticed how cool the window was, especially with the flowers on the other side.

Day 358: Dow Run/Walk

Today was the Dow Run/Walk. My time was 44:24 (which is 3 minutes faster than my time in 2009).

Day 357: Wanda's Back

The pool isn't as scary as I thought it would be, but it still needs a good cleaning. Thankfully, Wanda is on the job!

Day 356: Loon's Game

Dad and I went to a Loon's game and sat right behind home plate. It was pretty cool. Our section was picked to compete against another section for a prize. Our section had to sing Piano Man--I couldn't hear what the other section sang. We won coupons to Damon's.

Day 355: Tie-Dye Shirt

This is the shirt I made for the Dow Run/Walk.

Day 354: No Hail

Here is a picture of the rain storm. That's all it was. The weather people had me all excited for hail, but we didn't get any. Just 15 minutes of rain or so.

Day 353: Memorial Day Marigolds

Ashley and I picked up two flats of Marigolds to plant around Mom's garden. We planted them today, but I completely forgot to take a picture of them until we were driving home at 9:30 at night. Luckily, we drove Eastman Road, which is lined with Marigolds. So, at a stoplight, I took a picture.  ":)

Day 352: Family Portrait

We did a family portrait to update Granny's photo wall.

Day 351: Painting

Ashley and I decided we're going to make homemade treats for the boys, so Ash decided we needed a jar to put them in. She bought one at the craft store and the boys helped her decorate it. Neither one was really interested in helping, but did so anyway. (The pink shirts in the background are the tie dye shirts we made for the Dow Run/Walk.)

Day 350: Artichoke, Chicken & Salsa

Day 349: Pasta

I can't wait to try out this hand-me-down pasta maker from Sarah's family. I am all about making my own food this summer (canning, dog treats, etc), so I really can't wait to try this out. I hope it works well.

Day 348: New Wiper Blades

Why is it that windshield wipers are such a pain? They really aren't all that difficult, but for some reason I always have such a hard time with them. It took me awhile to get them changed, but Alcatraz has three new windshield wipers and she is very happy (and so am I).

Day 347: Lone Tree

Day 346: Spring Flowers

Spring flowers are popping up all over the backyard.
