Sometimes life just gets in the way…

This year has been a topsy-turvy one for me. As mentioned in my other post – I plan to revive my Project 365 project in 2010 – starting on New Year’s day. Until then – the plan was to try for a picture a week, but its been so crazy here – I just haven’t really even though about what I was suppose to be doing.

Anywhoo – here is one from just before Halloween. I LOVE getting my pumpkins at this place – it really gets you in the mood for Halloween and going here is always my official kick-off for the holiday season. (As a pet sitter – October 31st to January 2nd all kind of blend together by the time it’s over with!)

When we last left our story…

I was battling with my crazy camera phone. I have since gotten a new one, but….so much time has past  — I think it is probably pointless to try to finish THIS 365 days — so….I’m going to plan to start this up again on January 1st, 2010!

Meanwhile – I will try to publish a photo a week….just to stay in practice.

Hope others doing Project 365 have faired better!

You Should Be Dancin'....I took this for an EBay auction.

I got amused when I looked at it later because he looked like he was dancing!

Now I’ve got the music from Saturday Night Fever stuck in my head… ;-)

What are you looking at?Another one of our barn cat’s kittens.

A little spitfire, it wasn’t too happy when I discovered its hiding place – a little while later it was hissing and spitting when I tried to pick it up.

He might be tall, but he thinks he’s as big as a tiger! :-)

Day 160…coming soon…

hotdog2Front of the Weinermobile.

I think I may have to put driving one of these on my list of things I want to do…(Bucket List).

My biggest thing I would like to do…is to fly in the GoodYear Blimp!

Maybe…one day… :-)

WeinermobileA blast from the past!

OSCAR~ MYER WEINERMOBILE

When I was little I remember seeing one of these in a parade! I was mesmerized by it!

I believe…it was a station wagon back then….I remember the hot dog being MUCH, MUCH bigger than the car of today…LOL…maybe that was just my overactive imagination!

Day 158

Ebay 3aWhile in the waiting room at the doctor’s office…I saw this little trio.

I believe I decided the cop was a rabbit…

The mouse obviously did something very bad — not only is he in the prison garb, but he has the ole ball and chain around his foot as extra punishment.

Not sure about the cat though….I had to look at the tag to see what he was….said he was a “Rapper”…..I guess some Rappers do have run-ins with the law….so I guess that makes sense….except….I found it odd that instead of holding a microphone….he is holding a pair of cymbals….maybe cymbal playing is about to be the new cutting edge in rap music???? Hmmmm….

;-)

Oh...DEEROkay…trying to get back on track here….a little too much going on last month to even thinking about trying to keep this updated….

Slowing down some now….course my silly phone is still acting up. I discovered the screen fades out as it gets warm….so if I talk on it…by the time I’m done…it is pretty much faded out. And…now…there are lines running through the screen at the bottom.

Unfortunately….I’ve got some bills that have to be paid this month — so as long as I can still TALK on the phone…going to have to stick with it…

Anyway…here is a shot from a couple of days ago that I got as I pulled out of my driveway. This deer was in the neighbors yard. She had apparently discovered the apple tree and wasn’t too scared to stay and enjoy the treats while I watched.

A white car coming the other way finally scared her off….I’ve seen her since…just not this close!

Zaxby Parking LotIn line at the Zaxby’s drive-thru when I took this one.

I debated between another sky shot and getting a picture of the Kroger gas station. Finally decided to compromise and get both.

No UFOs here….the street lights are double and it makes them VERY bright! :-)
