Project 365: Day 20

So...tired...from hot yoga...So here's a picture I took at the Magic Kingdom.

Project 365: Day 19

Stafford is a decent enough place to live, but it's not exactly trendy or exciting. It tends to get pretty boring living here after a while and PP and I are considering moving out to somewhere closer to uptown. It will be a shorter commute and hopefully a slightly more exciting lifestyle.

Project 365: Day 18

Mmmm, desserts. I am actually enrolled in the company biggest loser competition again this year. However...this fruit custard pie was just too good to refuse....

Project 365: Day 17

At long last, after 160+ hours, I finally finished Dragon Age: Origins. Even after putting so much time into it, there were still a lot of different dialogue trees I missed because I took the goodie-goodie route and basically kept a static party of Alistair, Leliana, and Wrynne. If I have the time, I would like to go through it again to explore more of the evil choices, but alas, Mass Effect 2 is right around the corner!

Project 365: Day 16

PP is putting in a 3-year commitment to get her CFA. She was waffling back and forth because of the total time commitment needed, but eventually she convinced herself it was worth it career-wise to take the CFA examinations. Unfortunately, she had no time to rest as the CFA people immediately sent her exam material for her to get started on the studying. No rest for the weary.

Project 365: Day 15

Houston weather is amusing. Freezing one week, warm and temperatures in the 70s another. This is just a picture of downtown Houston taken while I waited for my bus. My office is the one on the far right.

Project 365: Day 14

IKEA has been a pretty good place for us. Both our computer, living, and bedrooms have furniture bought from IKEA. It does take a little extra work to assemble all the furniture but that is totally half the fun. Nothing like a lot of cursing, sweating, and sometimes bleeding to help you bond with your furniture!

Project 365: Day 13

Day 2 of hot yoga seemed a lot more of a sweat bath than the first. I was literally drenched with sweat after the class. My clothes were completely soaked including my shorts. I was totally thirsty coming back and just couldn't resist going to taco bell for a diet Dr. Pepper. Ahhhh....tastes just like regular Dr. Pepper.

Project 365: Day 12

I experienced or shall I say, survived my first hot yoga session. Yes, I know, my mind was filled with visions of Yoga Fire and Yoga Flame while sliding under fireballs as well, but alas, it wasn't nearly as flashy. Basically, the room is set at 105 degrees and you go through a set of 26 positions, each stretching a different set of muscles. It was basically yoga combined with sauna. A sweaty good time for all! Going back for more tomorrow.

Project 365: Day 11

Anyone in the market for a certified (by me) pre-owned 2001 Nissan Altima? Only 125k miles and runs great! It's a handyman's dream vehicle!

Project 365: Day 10

PP has lots of earrings and accessories for her outfits. She always has the right pair for the right occasion. Of course she has almost lost several from multiple pairs, but a wonderfully awesome person always seems to find them.

Project 365: Day 9

Most people know that I have a soft spot for playing cards. I usually try to get them as souvenirs from places I have been or from places that other friends visit. I couldn't find where I put the other sets, but this is probably a large portion of the total number of decks that I have. =)

Project 365: Day 8

"It's not dirty..it's busy!" Yes, yes, it sure is busy. This is PP's desk located in the computer room. The walls are painted "Classic Yellow" from the recent renovations and feel very warm and vibrant.

Project 365: Day 7

This is our living room, painted in "dancing green" The couch is newly acquired from Rooms-To-Go and is really comfortable. Plenty of room for the next VO!

Project 365: Day 6

我家欢迎你！！ As you can see, the full force of assorted stuffed animals at the ole homestead. Santa Bear smothers enemies with his jolly goodness, Jingjing obliterates foes with his power of happiness, Wells Fargo Horse devastates with ummm.. stuff, and Snow Man has his stare of doom.

Project 365: Day 5

It was something like 20 degrees last night and this morning the fountain outside our subdivision was nice and iced over. I wouldn't say it makes a good ice skating rink or anything, but the ice is pretty visible.

Project 365: Day 4

Mother Nature decided to wreak havoc on our plumbing system by freezing a major valve in our sprinkler system. Needless to say, the valve was held together by 3 plastic supports and all 3 snapped off like twigs from being made brittle by the freeze. We came back from shopping today to find a nice new water fountain in our backyard. In this picture you can see the remains of the valve on the ground next to the pipes.

Project 365: Day 3

Houston is not exactly synonymous with frigid temperatures but this week has been extremely cold. Supposedly, it's the lowest temperature it has been in 20 years. I swear, I saw some penguins moving onto my lawn.

Project 365: Day 2

Surprise surprise...another picture of a bedroom. Yes, I know, very uncreative. But give me a break, it's freezing outside!! Anyhow, this is the guest bedroom, painted "Uber." No one currently lives here, so it serves as PP's personal closet =)

Inspired by jOrange..Project365

jOrange is on a project to take 1 picture each day for 1 year. Since I am new to photography, he recommended I do the same. Without further to do, here is Day 1:

This is a picture of our bedroom, painted "Cozy." Disregard the wine glass and multiple bottles on the window sill. I assure you we are not rampant alcoholics..yet.
