LIFE: Things #6

So the task for this part of the 2014 blogger challenge is something photography based. Which ya know sounds really fun unless you're like me and have already failed at the monthly photo an hour challenge in the last two week. Granted I was at a home buyers course for the day and six hours of the same pieces of paper at the same desk wouldn't have been that thrilling to view. Life has been a little hectic of late, you might remember me talking about renewing my green card and buying our first house both of which are finally getting somewhere but there's still a way to go, particularly with the house side of things at least.

So yey for having loads of blog posts in my draft folder because I'm so behind on finding that odd couple of hours just to sit and type a post or three out. So for this challenge, I'm basically relying on my 365ish photo challenge I set myself just to convince myself that there is more to my life than houses and packing up our one bed apartment (man do we own a tonne of stuff).

2014

So life has pretty much been made up of;
  • Seeing far too many pretty houses suffering with the black mold of doom in their basements
  • Playing life size tertis games in the dining room with boxes of stuff
  • Eating far too many doughnuts nom
  • Finding my happy place lost in cross stitching and then playing around on Stitch Board designing some of my own from photographs (you can loose hours doing this)
  • Finally getting around to finding Pinterest useful
  • Buying an egg cup in the US (probably easier to find the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow)
  • Having the lurgy aka a cold
  • Trying to catalog all the vinyl on discogs and feeling overwhelmed at just how many we own 
  • It's taken two years but I finally found a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers music sheet at an estate sale 
  • Going a whole week without snow - score!
  • And now being able to go outside without having to wear two layers of gloves and feeling "warm" in a cardigan and scarf
  • Saying that with how cold out winter has been in Michigan, 4C degrees feels really warm, my inner thermostat is really screwed up.
How are things with you?
