photo a day(s) 33-42

you thought i'd forgotten about photo a day, huh?! well, i was in boise this weekend, so it got put on the backburner. but it's back and ready to attack! onward.

29. inside your fridge. notice my staples: alternative milks and cinnamon swirl raisin bread. mmmmmm

30. nature. okay folks, this stuff is super natural and smells like straight up almond extract. i'm in love

31. you, again. hi- this is me pre-ski. post-ski is a scary look.

32. your view. environmental science every wednesday... three cheers for cinderblock walls!

33. words. i had some choice words for this traffic jam situation as i was trying to skip town!

34. hands.

35. a stranger. nothing like a little late night wendy's... or the token fast food fam. that baby had some serious pipes and she knew how to use them.

and there you have it! in other news, remember this? i've got just a little over two months to complete it all! this week i'm being completely vegan. it's real exciting... more on that later. i'm off to do some more home-workin! hasta pasta

photo of the day(s) 22- 28

january is almost past. (thank you heaven above)

don't let the above picture fool you. if you follow me on twitter you'll know yesterday i was all stoked on getting up and skiing after work since class was cancelled. yeah, i went.... on two runs. and then i went home. the mountain was a straight up sheet of ice! i feel like i would have had better luck if i'd have brought a pair of ice skates rather than strapped on those skis of death. an hour later i was back in provo running 15 400 m sprints... because my obvious death of choice is by treadmill, not "falling off a mountain" as my mom would say. (mom, when i was [this] close to falling off the mountain all i could hear was your voice)

on to the pictures of the week!

22- your shoes. hey, best christmas gift of my life boots!

23- something old. okay, so there are a lot of "old" things here, ie my ancient 3 year old macbook with alzheimers aka no battery life, but what i want to direct your attention to is the fact that my table has no power so i have to drape my power cord aross the walkway to another table's plug. classy, byu!

24- guilty pleasure. i went to zuppas and bought tomato soup. i felt like i was cheating on my immersion blender.

25- something you made. a shload of copies at work!

26- something colorful. funny story here- a dentist office gave our office a "groundhog's day" basket. in it? stickers, pencils, groundhog figurines, and a six lb bag of gummybears. if getting presents is what groundhog's day brings i don't care if phil sees his shadow!

27- lunch. do not be fooled- this is no ordinary salad in no ordinary popcorn bowl sized dish. leftover salad from brick oven office meeting + raspberry vinaigrette (both words i can never spell on the first try)+  almonds = welcome to my lunchbreak life

28- light. or lack, thereof in my apartment. sometimes i dream of a huge kitchen with big bay windows and no winter lighting. if wishes were fishes!

photo a day(s) 15-21

welcome to this week's addition of my life through photo. sit down and put your feet up!

15- happiness. have you seen shiz mormons say? it's definitely a happy moment.

16- morning. this is how life plays out at work for me. i eat hummus and make lists... of things i want to eat and names for my children. awesome.

17- water. water water everywhere at sundance ski!

18- something you bought. this pineapple came in my bountiful basket. did i mention the fact that it is impossible to cut a pineapple without eating about half of it? guilty.

19- sweet. in all senses of the word, this banana chocolate smoothie concoction was SWEET in all senses of the word.

20- someone you love. pizza, unfortunately, isn't a "someone"... but the creator of pizzeria 712 is. yep, love him!

21- reflection. we don't have many reflective surfaces around ye old apt.... so a tv reflection is gonna have to work

photo a day(s) 8-14

8. the sky. oh the grey january sky...

9. daily routine. i've been eating this chocolate every single day for a couple weeks- dark chocolate with sea salt... a heavenly combination. life altering!

10. childhood. look at me, just cheesing it up. life was good

11. where you sleep. i'm just real happy about those pillows!

12. close up. post workout sweaty bangs.

13. in your bag. you like that voodoo doll? it gets a lot of compliments. thanks, ma.

14. something you're reading. okay so i already finished it, but it was great.

picture a day 1-7

buckle up, blogging buds, the time has come to start a photo journey through 2012! i saw this idea floating around twitter and thought it'd be fun to join in. i encourage you to do the same, even if you're a week late! 


1- yours truly... in case you forgot what i look like with anime eyes.

2- breakfast! my favorite meal of the day. bagel thin, banana chocolate spread and bananas. mmm
3- i adore the boise river. and the greenbelt. and the beautiful weather.
4- letterbox. i promise i don't live in a haunted house?
5- i wear this every day thanks to linds and christmas presents! love it
6- lunch at chipotle and this friend are both things that make me smile. PERFECT DAY.
7- my new favorite... these shoes. drool
so school has started and blogging has definitely been put on the backburner. my days are crazy. i eat all my meals in cars or on my way across campus. i am already forgetting homework assignments and losing my mind a little, but life is good, and it snowed today so i am less worried about serious droughts come summer. oh my life. happy weekend!
