How can it be Sunday already? Now that I’m doing a linky party once a week, it feels like Sundays sneak up on me awfully fast! We had a lot going on this week and I got some pretty cute iPhone photos. I know I should probably strive to taking a “real” photograph with my “real” camera each day, but when I committed to doing Project 365 this year, I knew that using my phone would make it much easier to keep up with. After all, it’s quite rare that I’m somewhere without it! Here is what we’ve been up to over the last seven days.
Sunday, March 11 (Day 71): On Sunday, we had lunch with Josh’s parents after church. I mistakenly packed shorts and short sleeves for the girls, with the assumption it would be a beautiful day. 55* and cloudy meant they were a little on the chilly side. We had taco salad and a nice visit before heading back home to get ready for Mission Friends. Ella was posing in the car and I couldn’t resist capturing this one. Luckily, she’s all about the pose and was very cooperative with this one!
Monday, March 12 (Day 72): I’ve been doing really good about carrying my lunch to work over the last several weeks and months, but this week I ate out a ton. Monday I grabbed a yummy nacho bowl at a little TexMex restaurant across the street from my office. It was loaded with steak and veggies and for the first time, I almost ate the whole thing.
Tuesday, March 13 (Day 73): Tuesday was the primary election in Alabama. I managed to sneak off to the police station to vote right before the polls closed at 7. Ella & Sophie fought over my “I Voted” sticker all the way home.
Wednesday, March 14 (Day 74): This morning, the clouds were so thick there wasn’t even much to photograph. I was sad for nothing outstanding to share. By my afternoon run, however, the skies were blue and the weather was beautiful. There was hardly a cloud in the sky! Unfortunately, I was having a pretty severe allergy attack and an awfully stuffy nose. For the first time since starting C25k, I had to bail on my run. I just couldn’t breathe well enough to ever establish a decent pace. Boo.
Thursday, March 15 (Day 75): On Thursday morning, my mom called to tell me that Ella had been up most of the night with an ear ache (she spends the night with my parents every Wednesday night – what a treat!). I had an important project to finish up at work that morning, so Ella joined me for a few hours until I could get her to the doctor. She was feeling much better, but gets very car sick, so the drive was less than fun. We discovered a raging ear infection in one ear and severe seasonal allergies. She’s on Augmentin for the infection and daily Zyrtec to help with the inflammation. 
Friday, March 16 (Day 76): I despise self-portraits and was a little irritated that I left my favorite sunnies on the bathroom counter. These J.Lo ones are my backups and are appropriately seventies-inspired. If only the lenses were darker, I’d probably wear them more.
Saturday, March 17 (Day 77): We spent at least eight hours slaving away in our yard on Saturday. Josh cut the grass, weed-eated (is that a word?!), burned brush and helped haul clippings. I cleaned off our gazebo and porches, picked up sticks, pruned our shrubs and brutally trimmed the loropetalums along the front of our porch. I can actually see my front yard from the porch and my sweet architecturally interesting porch can be seen from the street. I am so excited to see green outside these days!
