Branding: Logos, Colors...FUN :)

So, obviously I gave up on that 365 project...ha. Oh well, MOVING ON.

I decided I need to rework my brand.  I did some research, read some good articles and went to work.  Here's what I came up with, what d'ya think?

117/365
[day 117 :: may 5 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]
Some little sprouts just waiting to get into the garden!

[day 118 :: may 6 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]
Sunny day!


119/365
[day 119 :: may 7 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]
Pretty sun on my run...ha, I rhymed.


120/365
[day 120 :: may 8 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]
Okay, not the greatest picture, but the only one I had for the day.  Besides, you can't go wrong with Chocolate Ale...trust me.


121/365
[day 121 :: may 9 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]
This is a common view in my 365 project...can't help it.  Always pretty ...and easy.


122/365
[day 122 :: may 10 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]
Aziz! This picture is crap (just like he told us all the would be), but I don't care because I got to go see AZIZ!  :D

[day 123 :: may 11 :: canon rebel xsi :: pse 11]
Omg, my little brother graduated highschool.  This is a photo of my grandma and a long time family friend at his graduation party...which was flippin freezing by the way. :)

365 Update #16

I'm so ridiculously behind on posting that it's just sad.  Basically, the more photos that I had building up  the less I wanted to deal with them! Luckily, it's a long weekend and I have zero plans - so I have zero excuses!  Sit back, relax and be prepared for several blog updates this weekend!


Day 110/365
[day 110 :: april 28 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
This one is a lie.  It's another filler, but I hadn't shared it yet (at least not on this blog).  It's from awhile ago when Brian and I went geocaching. :)


111/365
[day 111 :: april 29 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]
My 5k training is going AWESOME.  I've passed some milestones that never seemed possible before and it just feels great!


112/36
[day 112 :: april 30 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]
I got a little cactus plant...isn't he cute?  


113/365
[day 113 :: may 1 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]
Oops, my bad - this is the only photo I took that day.  It's of my food of course...little taco bites.  The picture is crap, but the dinner was yummy!


114/365
[day 114 :: may 2 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]
So this happened.
I'm not joking.  I think we got about 8 inches of HEAVY snow...as you can see our tree is touching the ground.  It usually isn't...le sigh.  At least it melted pretty quickly.


115/365
[day 115 :: may 3 :: canon rebel xsi :: pse 11]
Cutest. Dog. Ever.  Seriously, what a ham!  He spent a good 15 minutes just rolling around on the floor letting me take pictures of him! :)

116/365
[day 116 :: may 5 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
Happy Cinco...one day early!  We went to a nearby "big" town to see Iron Man 3 and celebrate with mexican food.  The movie was pretty good and the margaritas were even better!

More updates coming!

Lovely day for a lovely walk! Theo loves getting off his leash and just running...

104/365
[day 104 :: april 22 :: htc incredible 2 :: befunky]
A cop out day, sorry :/ However, this is the first photo Brian & I took together, lol.

105/365
[day 105 :: april 23 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
Another cop out, this picture sucks. It’s only slightly saved b/c of the adorable subject. Ha!

106/365
[day 106 :: april 24 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
Just playing with the light...and my hair, lol.

107/365
[day 107 :: april 25 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
Some fun with perspective...and one of my nerdiest necklaces. Yea, that’s a globe. :P

108/365
[day 108 :: april 26 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
Showing off my new do! Well, just spruced up, actually. It’s been ombre for awhile, but it grew out some so I had it done again. Lovin’ it!

109/365
[day 109 :: april 27 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
‘Tis the season...for grilling and power hour! Cheers for warmer weather! :D

365 Recap #14

096/365
[day 96 :: april 14 :: canon rebel xsi :: pse 11]
Have you guys seen Game of Thrones? If not, get HBO and watch it. Soooo worth it. Anyway, we are huge fans here, especially Brian. For Christmas he recieved a Game of Thrones cookbook. Yep, that’s right. This would be the Breakfast at Winterfell and lemme say, it was FANTASTIC. That’s a soft boiled egg there, didn’t know there was such a thing...but it was good!

097/365
[day 97 :: april 15 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
I thought the clouds looked awesome...so I took a picture. :)

098/365
[day 98 :: april 16 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
I was sick this day and thus didn’t take a picture. But, you know me I like to substitute my “empty” days with fillers. I’ve been feeling motivated recently (with my jogging/training), so I used an old photo and a quote I liked. I actually did this completely on my phone with Pixlr Xpress - it was fun!

099/365
[day 99 :: april 17 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
This was a crazy week, all sorts of weather. The first landscape road picture (above) it was gorgeous out. Then with this one we have dreary rain, which is not so bad, but the next day...

100/365
[day 100 :: april 18 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
...SNOW. It’s not so bad here...and it wasn’t so bad in general. I just feel that any sort of snow mid April is ridiculous. I mean, I live in the midwest, so I know it happens, but it’s still ridiculous. Oh and today is 100 days! :)

101/365
[day 101 :: april 19 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
Kitty! For real, that’s his name! He’s my friend’s cat and a big sweetie! I had pictures of her other cat, an orange gal named Joy, but they were super blurry. Prior to this, Missy and I had a little girls night and went out for dinner and drinks. Fun times! :)

IMAG1656_20130424114941897
[day 102 :: april 20 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
Late night, last minute shot. Ha! Sometimes I literally don’t remember to take my photo until I’m already lying in bed. Oh well, I still like it. :)

[day 91 :: april 9 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr express]
Brian and Theo - YAY!  Well Brian looks "YAY!", but Theo just looks like... wth. 

Day 92/365
[day 92 :: april 10 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr express]
Only photo from the day.  Shitty photo, yummy food.  I found a recipe for Southwest Eggrolls online and they were fantastic!

Day 93/365
[day 93 :: april 11 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr express]
Another shit photo.  BUT, have you guys had these yet?  We love 'em!

Day 94/365
[day 94 :: april 12 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr express]
Ohmygosh.  For real, all my photos suck.  I was so lazy - basically this was just a documentin' life kinda week. Ha, it happens.


095/365
[day 95 :: april 13 :: canon rebel xsi :: pse 11]
There! One artsy fartsy photo taken on my real camera and edited in photoshop elements.  I played with it to make a double exposure effect.  Woot.

Alright, off to bed!

365 Recap #12

Day 82/365
[day 82 :: march 31 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
Part of our Missy's Birthday Game of Throne Feast!  Cooking whole birds like this is flipping weird, let me tell yea, but soooo worth it.  They were fantastic!

Day 83/365
[day 83 :: april 1 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
I was super lazy this week.  This is the first of three photos of Theo....

Day 84/365
[day 84 :: april 2 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
Bookshelf!

Day 85/365
[day 85 :: april 3 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
This is my typical pre-bed ritual - most recently I've been watching old CSI Miami episiodes, though I'm not sure why.  It's not really that great of a show, but I can get the regular CSI (las vegs) via instant, so it will do. Lol

Day 86/365
[day 86 :: april 4 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
See more lazy, all these photos are lazy photos.  

087/365
[day 87 :: april 5 :: canon rebel xsi :: pse 11]
Okay, another of Theo, but not a lazy photo.  Lazy for him though, ha!  He was wet and cold and shivering, so we wrapped him up in blankets (one was heated)!  He freaking loved it and ended up dozing.  A sleepy puppy is a good puppy. :P

088/365
[day 88 :: april 6 :: canon rebel xsi :: pse 11]
The weather wasn't awful, so we decided to go geocaching!  It ened up with the three of us covered in mud and at one point I was certain Brian was going to fall into the river.  Regardless, we had a lot of fun!

One more week and I'm caught up!

Day 75/365
[day 75 :: march 24 :: htc incredible 2 :: photo grid]
So yea, it was 10:20 pm and I realized I had yet to take my daily.  This shit is past my bedtime!

Day 76/365
[day 76 :: march 25 :: htc incredible 2 :: instagram + photo grid]
FILLER!  I'm such a dirty cheater.  Seriously, actually remembering to take a photo each and everyday is intense.  Sometimes the day just gets away from you!  This is from our trip to Minneapolis.

Day 77/365
[day 77 :: march 26 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]
Just keep running, just keep running....

Day 78/365
[day 78 :: march 27 :: canon rebel xsi :: pse 11]
This was a little experiment - while I don't love this image, I like it.  And I like the concept, so I'm going to try it again in the future with a stronger silhouette shape.

Day 79/365
[day 79 :: march 28 :: htc incredible 2 :: instagram]
This is what usually greats me in the morning.  The scene is not always this adorable, but they are always there. :)

Day 80/365
[day 80 :: march 29 :: htc incredible 2 :: instagram]
We bought a new couch!  Well, new to us couch...and I love it. It's got a retro vibe and it's avocado green, what more could you want?

Day 81/365
[day 81 :: march 30 :: canon rebel xsi :: pse11]
Happy Birthday Missy! :)  Ha, okay those are belated now, but whatever.  I baked her a cake batter cheesecake for her birthday and lemme just say, this shit was amazing.  For real.  I wish I had some right now....
