Project 366 {WEEK 43}

Nostalgia is a stealthy animal. It sits hidden away until something lures it out. Music is a big one for me. And smells. Smells can trigger so many vivid memories. Popcorn reminds me of the drive-in theater and dad's old Volkswagen hatchback. Cinnamon comforts me like mom's sick-day cinnamon toast. And sautéed onions and garlic…I close my eyes and I swear I'm standing in my grandparents' kitchen.

The beauty of nostalgia is that it's a photograph in your mind of an actual experience. It's a fraction of time that you have somehow managed to capture and archive, waiting to be relived at any given moment.

It's time to make some memories.

Day 297 {Found} - Visitor's Welcome

Found this by my front door today.

Picture
Day 298 {Precious} - Happy Fall

A sweet note from my sweet girl.

Picture
Day 299 {Entertain} - Fret Not
Picture
Day 300 {Effort} - And I Ran...

A little rain wasn't going to stop me today...well actually it did...I totally wimped out and hit the treadmill instead. Are you kidding me? It was a blustery 45 and pouring this afternoon. I may be intense sometimes, but I'm not crazy!

Picture
Day 301 {Minimal} - Treetops and Clouds

Suffering from a case of the Thursday "Blahs" today. Come on Friday, bring me some sunshine!

Picture
Day 302 {Related} - Halloween Dance

Dark, grainy and totally worth it to capture that smile. Her first costume party and she nailed it!

Picture
Day 303 {In the Distance} - I Spy

Someone found his dad's iPad and has been zoning out on football and racing games for an hour. Brain Drain.

Guess who won the "Stupid Award" this week?

I may have jumped the gun slightly last week when I said that my rib was "holding steady." Apparently lifting heavy, awkward objects out of tight spaces in the basement is not part of the healing process. Before I could even finish the thought, "I probably shouldn't be doing this..." I felt the pop.

Day 290 {Imagination} - Dream By Day

"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." -E.A. Poe

Picture
Day 291 {Yellow} - Yellow Fellow

I think his time has just about expired for this season. He was looking a little dazed and confused as a result of our unseasonably warm temps today.

Picture
Day 292 {So Good} - So Darn Good

So good, yet so bad. One of life's great conundrums.

Picture
Day 293 {Vignettes} - Wind in the Shadows

"Give me shelter, or show me heart...Watch me fall apart." -Ben Howard

Picture
Day 294 {Faceless} - Vampire Girl

A quick dress rehearsal for halloween. She says she's a "nice vampire that gives blood instead of taking blood." I'm cool with that.

Picture
Day 295 {Bliss} - Enthralled

Her first time watching The Princess Bride...True Love!

Picture
Day 296 {Free Choice} - Festive

Keeping it simple.

Just a quick 6 month update on my Humpty Dumpty Saga: Ribs seem to be holding steady for the moment...[pause for applause]...and I had my 5th traction treatment this week which seems to be helping the disc in my neck, despite a few zingers that I still experience every so often. We're now moving on to the beast that is my decades-old shoulder injury. Hopefully with some more butt-kicking PT and continued strength training I can get my wing back into working order. It's not going to be easy to undo all that's been done, but I'll get there eventually.

Day 283 {This Happened} - (Mid)Life Goals

Spent the weekend with family at a Wisconsin Dells Resort and Indoor Waterpark. I was not allowed to leave Sunday until my brother beat the arcade pop-a-shot record. He's a legend.

Picture
Day 284 {Inspired} - Kickoff

Inspired by Sunday night's Green Bay victory.

Picture
Day 285 {Orange} - Fall Colors
Picture
Day 286 {In the Moment} - Living in the Moment

"I can't walk through life facing backwards, I have tried." Thought I could squeeze in my walk before the rain came, but I was wrong. Made it about a mile before the downpour...I was soaked.

Picture
Day 287 {Leading Lines} - Art Therapy

"We draw our lines with very different ends."

Picture
Day 288 {Wonderful} - Hand Painted

We have one maple tree tucked away in the back yard and today it was showing off it's true colors.

Picture
Day 289 {From Where I Stand} - You've Been Served

Long day of sports for this fella; football in the morning and volleyball all afternoon. Tomorrow he plays lacrosse. So much for a restful weekend!

Day 276 {Begins with R} - Think I'll Go Inside

"And I felt this way before, of walking out your front door, I am a sea without a shore, And its raining, it's really raining, I think I'll go inside." -Joshua Radin

Picture
Day 277 {Fruity} - Daily Recommended Serving

They say to eat a variety of colors and types...does this count?

Picture
Day 278 {Person} - In the Mirror
Picture
Day 279 {Need} - Let's Get Digital

Working on a fun logo for a client...made some sketches with good 'ol paper and pencil, now I just need to transfer these to the computer. Gonna be a busy weekend.

Picture
Day 280 {Hands} - Autumn Prep

Rainy day? Check! Leaves falling to the wet pavement? Check! Cozy sweater? Check! Mug of cocoa? Check! I think I'm set.

Picture
Day 281 {Ready} - Long Line of Cars

Friday night rush hour...ready for the weekend to begin.

Picture

Hello October. You've been ugly and rainy so far and I'm already sick of you. So you can either shape up or get lost. Because all the Pumpkin spice cupcakes and Chai lattes in the world couldn't sweeten the bitterness of a cold, rainy Wisconsin week. I just have to remind myself that every day of cold and yucky is one day closer to summer. #optimist
Picture
Day 269 {Expert} - Bedtime Reading

Little House on the Prairie expert.

Picture
Day 270 {Community} - Beautification

Nature just doing its part to help pretty-up the neighborhood. Didn't expect to see these in bloom again. A pleasant surprise.

Picture
Day 271 {Reading} - Pampered Princess

How many other 8 year olds can say they had a bubbly foot massage while doing their homework? Perhaps we spoil her a bit too much...

Picture
Day 272 {Cool} - Frozen Berries
Picture
Day 273 {Texture} - The Texture of Relaxation

I'm not sure that relaxation really has a texture, but if it did, this is what it might look like. Everyday is a good day for tea. Especially those days when you need a little extra warmth to help soothe the soul.

Picture
Day 274 {Sublime} - SubLime
Picture
Day 275 {Me} - Boots, Apron & Apple Pie

It's October and since I can't fast-forward the calendar to May, I guess I just have to roll with it. So welcome back boots, apron and apple pie.
