12 of 12: Feb 2007 Edition

It's the 12th, so that means Chad Darnell's 12 of 12!


7:02am - crap

I walked into my Cube, glanced at the calendar and realized that today was the 12th. Damn. So, some of today's photos will be taken with my cell phone cam since I obviously didn't bring my camera to work.

7:12am - sweet, sweet caffeine

I got about an hour of sleep last night (stupid insomnia) so I need a little boost this morning. How awesome is Cherry Coke Zero?? So yummy!!

9:28am - a new wallpaper for the Craptop

I took this photo of my brother getting a hit during a college baseball tournament at the Metrodome on Saturday and decided that it just HAD to be my new wallpaper.

11:08am - the most important time of the day

This is how I look when I am way too tired and exhausted to worry about putting makeup on in the morning. I have escaped from CubeVille and am on the way to lunch.

3:56pm - introducing...

The regular readers of my blog are quite familiar with Crow T. Laptop, but this is his first appearance in the 12 of 12. I got him two weeks ago and I love him dearly! He has a pretty MST3K wallpaper and is loaded with Crow sounds instead of crappy Windows sounds. My email notification says "crow at bite me dot com"! *giggle*

4:40pm - such a dirty girl!

Little Min is absolutely filthy! This is what happens when it's below freezing for weeks on end and you can't go to the car wash. =/

5:53pm - yet another night at Hallmark

The upside of working with my mom is that she usually brings me dinner when we work together. Tonight it's Chicken Cacciatore. Yum!

6:08pm - no wonder my purse is so heavy

I cleaned $9.96 in change out of my purse. How do I collect so much??

7:23pm - Hallmark is not exactly exciting

My mom is not amused that I'm taking her photo.

8:13pm - creeeeeeeeepy

I seriously hate Precious Moments. It's those vacant eyes!

8:14pm - *sigh*

I will be very happy when this made-up holiday is over.

9:49pm - fire!

My Avon order arrived today and it included this pretty rock garden tea light holder. I just need to find a place to put it. No, the bookcase with the expensive hardcover books is not really where it's going to stay.

9:21pm - bonus pic!

This month's bonus pic is "love." I stopped into my parent's house when I gave my mom a ride home from work. Me and the dogs have a ritual where I have to sit on the floor so they can crowd into me as I give them adoration. Riley pushes his head into my leg so I can scratch his ears and neck while Earl dances around for attention and wants to get scratched under the chin. It's true love!

Check out all the other 12 of 12ers over on Chad's blog!!

nobody ever wants to hear this, but you TOTALLY resemble your mom.

And the pic with you and the doggies is cute as hell.

I got your card today...THANK YOU! It was my first real piece of mail that I've gotten here that wasn't my change-of-address confirmation.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. I know. *sigh*

That's what the dogs and I do every time I walk in the house. Earl will sometimes even ignore my mom to come to me. =)

You are very welcome! I had to scramble and find the Xmess card you sent me to get your new address, since I hadn't put it in my address book yet. So, hooray for never throwing anything away!

Great pics, Leigh!!
I know your problems with the chance. Either you have noon (when need some) or you have too much that it blasts your purse :-(
And Tracey is right: You have your mom's eyes and her glance lol

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I have no idea how I get that much change! Now that I have none left today, I'll probably need a quarter. =/

[vertical-chaos.livejournal.com]

Great pics! :) I despise Valentine's Day. Comes from waking to lunch and passing literally tables arranged in alphabetical order filled with flowers when I was at college. SOOOOO annoying.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of V-Day. I'm probably working in the wrong business for that attitude. =/ Only two more days!

[vertical-chaos.livejournal.com]

LOL. Yeah...well, as long as you don't have to help people pick out cards. We've sent notes home asking for NO candy to be given out...the kids can bring cards if they want, but if Halloween and the day before Christmas break are any indication...sugar makes bussing UGLY!!!

[kaeleighjustice.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one who looks like your mom :D People say we're mirror images :D

Love the dogs. I'm a huge animal lover :D 4 legs and fur I probably love it :D

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

It's okay. What can I do about it, you know?

I adore my babies!

[seimaisin.livejournal.com]

Cherry Coke Zero is the stuff of the GODS. I discovered it when I was driving through Iowa this weekend. I can drink Cherry Coke again! Joy! :)

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

YES! It is the perfect beverage!!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

It's so fantastic! No calories or carbs and it still pretty much tastes like regular Cherry Coke!

[lafemmezilla.livejournal.com]

Yay 12 of 12!

I got your card this weekend. Yeah, I saw those at Target and the first thing I said was "WHERE IS NORRINGTON?" Hee. Thanks! :)


Oh, and agreed on the Precious Moments. I've never understood the appeal.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad you got it before V-Day. =)

Me either. The women who coo all over them scare me.

[robandchrismom.livejournal.com]

i've never heard of cherry coke zero.does it taste like diet coke? not a big diet coke fan. got your card lol had to giggle b/c it was of the office. thanks. you know i hate hallmark stores...the pics were great.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

No, it tastes more like regular Cherry Coke than Diet does. It still has some of that bitter sweetener taste, but it's not horrible.

You're very welcome! =)

[dazeebean.livejournal.com]

Your car is actually quite clean compared to mine!

Yummmmy your dinner looked fab-u-lous!

heh heh, made up holiday, and yet people still spend money. Oh and I completely understand about the Precious moments...I'm going to have nightmares...mmm maybe.

Great 12 of 12!

"crow at bite me dot com"! *snerk

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

If I had any time today I would have taken Min to get washed. =/

[taylorea.livejournal.com]

Ahhh,
I love seeing these. I must because I have to wait a half hour to get them to load.

Maybe someday I'll figure out how to do photos and try a 12 on 12 myself.

Anyway, lovely as ever!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks! =)

It's fun to do. I can always show you how to upload photos and such. I user Flickr because it's super easy.
