My Creatively Random Life

Last month I started another photo a day challenge as a way to work on my photography skills which as you know leave more than a little to be desired. It was going okay until I dropped my phone and broke the camera. *face palm* But we are back in business for now with a loaner phone that makes me feel like a total moron while my camera gets fixed. Day One: Ladybug we found chilling on the sidewalk while out for a walk. Day Two: Morning skies on the way to work. Day Three: The creek on one of my training runs. Day Four: Spider Girl is so sparkly today. Day Five: Someone's lawn decoration on the way home from High Park. Day Six: Birthday present from my sister. Day Seven: Hail at the bus stop. Day Eight: Coolest postcards ever. Day Nine: Bringing a little superhero to my work clothes. Day Ten: Cat lost a tooth. I am being a little more flexible with myself this time, if I miss a day it's not the end of the ...

As another year passes me by and I look to add another number onto my age I am reflective of how lousy the last year has been in so many ways.  Yet, it has also brought me so much joy.  I have been sick for much of it, but that allows me more time to read. Mike and I had some really rough patches but we came out stronger on the other side and are now planning our dream wedding.  Seriously, it's going to be awesome. My arm has left me unable to write (or type) for long periods of time so I am exploring new and more awesome ways of doing things and being creative.  My knee injury left me unable to exercise properly for much of the last year...I have no upside for that one.  Sadly because I love food I am only now starting to lose the weight I put on.  Watch out for ice and love your knees people! Tomorrow marks the start of the  A to Z Challenge , I am prepared this year, I have a theme, scheduled posts and everything.  Nothing left to do but ...

Slowly but surely I am catching up on my blogging, and posting random stuff in between.  I feel positive about getting on track and getting stuff out into the world.  Now to find and dump my camera for all the ComiCon and Cuba pictures. February 26, 2014: Dinosaur postcard for my collection from my pen pal. February 27, 2014: A shot of my very messy living room. February 28, 2014: Like my new hairband? March 1, 2014: The boy gave me a new hat.  I must say he has good taste. March 2, 2014: Cat's flower tree painting. March 3, 2014: Valentine's Day treat. March 4, 2014: A gift my wonderful coworker Marion brought me back from South Africa.

So I only have about a zillion photos to catch up on posting, not exactly my idea of fun.  Still I have to be proud of the fact that I have still be taking them every day, even if some of them have been reaching a little for subject matter.  Anyway, on to the pictures: February 19, 2014: Super awesome postcard from my super awesome pen pal. February 20, 2014: My first foray into juicing, what's become an obsession since then. February 21, 2014: The view from my bed, mostly cos-play odds and ends. February 22, 2014: Shiny new nail polish. (with badly done nails, I need more practice) February 23, 2014: Fancy new lettering for my letter writing. February 24, 2014: My monkeys at daycare.

SO MANY pictures to post, so little time.  Have to get caught up again though so that I can be all behind while I am away.  Plus I have super awesome pictures from ComiCon to post. Anyhow, here were the in case you need t...

That was my week's worth of photos.  I know I am a touch behind on posting my pictures but I have found it easy to keep up on taking them.  Even if that means getting up last minute to take a picture of something random because I am sick and just realized I forgot like last night. The prompts for week seven are:
