So, I have a picture of the ribeyes, a picture of the grill in the snow, but the picture of the asparaus was the most interesting :)

Yummy combo, though. Happy Valentine's!

I dunno. I was outside, I hadn't taken a picture, the sky was really blue... Random antenna on random building...

So, this seems to be my new schtick. Set something on the Kitchen Island, photograph it. Upload to Flickr. Post to blog.

I'm getting the hang of it, so expect it to happen. A lot.

In the meantime, mcD's would like you to... ENJOY.

Yes. It IS a sunset. But it's DIFFERENT than usual. Why? Because I took it from the Target parking lot, LOL. See it reflected in the car window on the right?

Glorious Day. Trees are interesting when you look straight up at them :)

Every morning I put Gus' toys away in the basket. Every night he gets at least one of them out. This is what the arrangement looked like tonight. Swear to goodness I didn't touch them...

Yes. We watched the Super Bowl. At least, for a while...

I thought it was cool that you could see the mountains through the carwash. And because we went through the carwash before I took this picture, you can see mountains AND carwash!

Yeah. That big silver thing. Turns out they are NOT supposed to be in tires...

The Phone. Working. Sort of. Actual internet connection seems to be random...

But when it works.... IT'S THE COOLEST PHONE IN THE WORLD!

It's the Castle Rock! Castle Rock, Colorado (taken from the parking lot of the motorcycle store. I spend a lot of time in this parking lot, and yet this is the first time I really noticed how well you could see the rock...)

My new office phone. V. v. cute. You would not believe how hard it is to dial, though. Sure, the buttons push, but they aren't in the right place!!! I guess it has just been too long since my rotary dial days...

THIS is how far I got with the shoveling this evening. About 6-7 passes with the shovel. Then I decided that 3 car garages (and driveways) were absolutely ridiculous. At least the sidewalk is shoveled.

I chose this shoveling photo because it a) shows that I did manual labor, b) shows the pretty light on the front of the house, and c) sneaks some of the color from the sunset into the picture, without actually BEING a sunset picture. I totally am calling this a "win."

New light installed in my office (thank you David & Molly!). Hmmm. Maybe I should clean it up, now...

Because neglecting one blog is not enough!!!

Honestly, I don't know if this will remain a photo a day commitment or not, but I will pinky swear to at least a photo a week :) After all, now I get to put off taking down the Christmas decorations JUST A LITTLE LONGER!!!
