12 of 12: March 2007 Edition

[leighblack]

I managed to remember that it was the 12th today, even though it was on a Monday! =) Anyhow, 12 of 12, Chad Darnell, my day, blah blah blah...


12:25am - ugh

I'm a fan of Daylight Savings Time and all, but that first day is not fun. Here it was after midnight and I wasn't the least bit sleepy. The 5:15am alarm was very painful!

6:18am - oops

I'm thinking it's about time to do some laundry.

9:20am - doing some research for work

Yes, I was doing some actual work! This guy on the BlueCross BlueShield of Wyoming website scares me for some reason.

9:24pm - work time is already over

I live just outside of St. Paul and the St. Patrick's Day parade is a BIG DEAL here. And the Celebrity Grand Marshall is the very Irish...Sven Sundgaard?? I don't get it either. But he's totally my weatherman boyfriend so I'm pretty excited that he'll be there!

2:33pm - the all important candy dish

I always try to get a candy dish to match the season or holiday. This is my Easter motif for this year. Though I don't celebrate Easter and I'm not Christian. But who can resist a chicky bowl and a cute bear with bunny ears?? =)

3:50 - happy birthday, Mom!

"Why are you taking my picture?"
"What day is it today?"
"Oh yeah. It's that 12 picure thing."
Ha! I even have my mom trained to remember the 12 of 12. =)

4:16pm - hello Spring!

It was gorgeous outside, so I went for a walk. Look! There's open water in that pond!

4:17 - me

This is totally going to be my new MySpace photo. How did my hair get so red? Notice my hawt new Boys Like Girls hoodie. I've worn it every day since I bought it.

4:19pm - the snow is melting so fast it sounds like rain

About a week ago, this whole area was covered in two feet of snow! Now the last inch is barely clinging to the ground. Nice!

6:09pm - pirating

Recording videos from StrippedMusic.com. Because Clear Channel isn't smart enough to figure out how to prevent it.

6:16pm - Spring fever, indeed

You gotta love that this is the weather report.

6:54pm - uh oh

Yeah, this cookie probably isn't on my diet. Too bad! I'm eating it anyways.

9:11pm - bonus pic

This month's bonus pic is "green." I've been re-ripping some of my CDs and this one happend to come up in today's pile.

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

Great!! Yeah...when Kristin sees the camera at school, she's like "Is it the 12th already??" I didn't get her this month though. Yolanda got the honor.

Thanks! I need to take photos of someone besides my mom. I do actually encounter other people during my day. =)

[vertical-chaos.livejournal.com]

LOL. My mentor was at school today, and I almost got one of her, but she escaped.

LOL! Sven is the Grand Marshall for the Irish parade, I'm so sad I will miss that!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Oh don't worry! I'll be taking photos. =)

Hee! Awesome pics. I took a picture of our weather report too, but it's, uh, slightly different (like 30 degrees different. :D) And your candy dish is the best ever. It's like Franken-chick. ^^

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, whatever. We're just happy it made it above 50.

It is totally Franken-chick! =)

You had snow??? Wow, I didn't see this for nearly a year (except the two snowflakes we had in February).
Great pics!!
And Happy Birthday to your mom!!

We didn't really have much snow this winter. But we had two big snowstorms about a week apart and ended up with two feet. =/

your mom, my kids.....ah yes! get them all obsessed the way we are! and for the record, I totally see Sven as the grand marshall....perfect for MN! lol!

Thanks for sharing!

Wow... I thought MY room was messy! I'm the same as you... laundry gets done when I can no longer see the floor.

How come the easter bowl is out already? No St. Patrick's day bowl?

[(Anonymous)]

I like the dialogue between you and your Mum as you took the photo! Hee! And the bear with bunny ears is just cute!

Helen, 12 of 12er.

love the pics and its spring lookng there? you oughta see here, my azaleas are blooming and my trees are too. its like 70 degrees I love it. I forgot 12 of 12, got too much going on.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

It was over 60 degrees today! AWESOME!!

[karmalaa.livejournal.com]

I'll jump on the bandwagon and add a big YAY to the fact that it was in the upper 60s today. FINALLY! Granted, we haven't had the snow that you guys have had but...Christ it's been frigid for weeks now.

And your laundry pile looks like mine. I have the dirty pile and then the clean ones overflowing out of the laundry basket into my closet. Yes, I'm lazy. :P

Yesterday it was 66. Today it barely made it into the 40's. Guess which day I had to work at both jobs? =/

Sadly, that photo only has about half of the laundry pile.
