365 Update #17

[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!

[day 119 :: may 7 :: htc incredible 2 :: pse 11]

Pretty sun on my run...ha, I rhymed.

[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.

[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.

[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. :)

more to come!

365 Update #15

[day 103 :: april 21 :: htc incredible 2 :: befunky]

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

[day 104 :: april 22 :: htc incredible 2 :: befunky]

A cop out day, sorry :/ However, this is the first photo Brian & I took together, lol.

[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!

[day 106 :: april 24 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]

Just playing with the light...and my hair, lol.

[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

[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!

[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

[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!

[day 97 :: april 15 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]

I thought the clouds looked awesome...so I took a picture. :)

[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!

[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...

[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! :)

[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! :)

[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. :)

365 Recap #13

[day 89 :: april 7 :: htc incredible 2 :: instagram]

Skinny Bang Bang Shrimp with pineapple coleslaw and fried quina "rice"! YUM!

[day 90 :: april 8 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr express]

View from my jog.

[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 :: 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 :: april 11 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr express]

Another shit photo.  BUT, have you guys had these yet?  We love 'em!

[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.

[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!

xo, kass

365 Recap #12

[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 :: april 1 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]

I was super lazy this week.  This is the first of three photos of Theo....

[day 84 :: april 2 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]

Bookshelf!

[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 :: april 4 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]

See more lazy, all these photos are lazy photos.  

[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

[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!

365 Recap #11

[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 :: 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 :: march 26 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr xpress]

Just keep running, just keep running....

[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 :: 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 :: 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 :: 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....

slowly catching up!

365 Recap #9

Once again I realize I'm WAY behind on posting.  I've just come to accept this and you should too!  I won't lie, I got busy and I've missed a couple days here and there - BUT not any of the days in this posting, so enjoy!!

 

[day 61 :: march 10 :: htc incredible 2 :: FxCamera]

Snow, snow and more snow.

[day 62 :: march 11 :: htc incredible 2 :: FxCamera]

I forgot I had this other FxCamera app, it's okay.  Can't do anything too crazy with it except it has some really fun "filters" like this one.  Which apparently is some charity that get's money everytime someone uses the filter and shares it!  Anyway, this was an amazing chicken salad sandwich I made...in the form of a water drop! lol

[day 63 :: march 12 :: htc incredible 2 :: PixlrExpress]

Snuggles before bed!

[day 64 :: march 13 :: htc incredible 2 :: PixlrExpress]

More cute Theo!  Can you tell I was lazy these days?

[day 65 :: march 14 :: htc incredible 2 :: FxCamera]

This is another fun filter from FxCamera...I like it.  Oh yea, and more snow.  :/

[day 66 :: march 15 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr express]

Renewable energy!  We pass a pretty massive wind farm on our way back east,  I'm always snapping pictures because they just look so eerie to me.  Especially when it's foggy!

[day 67 :: march 16 :: canon rebel :: pse 11]

Morgan!  Oh how I love this doggy!  This is my father's third child, lol. She is a labradoodle (lab + poodle) and super sweet!  Brian and I went "home" to celebrate St. Pat's on this weekend and had a blast!  Morgie even has a green hanker chief on, she's not getting pinched!

More updates coming! :)

365 Recap #8

[day 54 :: march 3 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr express]

Just some cool clouds on my jog.  Hoping it will get nice again so I can train outside!

[day 55 :: march 4 :: canon rebel xsi :: no edits]

Brian hard at work! He was sitting at the table working on homework and I thought the light from his laptop looked cool.  I'm not sure he even noticed me at first. :P

[day 56 :: march 5 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr express]

So if you're a fellow Midwesterner chances are you've seen a bit o' snow this past week.  If you're also a commuter like myself, then you know how fun it was.  Yea.  I'm not sure I should have driven those days that I did, but I made it in one piece, so I guess it's all okay!

[day 57 :: march 6 :: canon rebel xsi , 50mm :: photoshop]

Brian and I have rediscovered incense. The first stick we burned I was flooded with memories of my teenage bedroom...scarf covered lamps, Jewel on my boombox (yea I said it) and me scribbling away in my journal, often with my dog laying nearby. Lol. Man, my dad hated this stuff.  Partially from the smell, but mostly because he thought I was going to burn the house down. Haha!  No worries Dad, I am safely burning my incense away from any flammables.  :P

[day 58 :: march 7 :: htc incredible 2 :: pixlr express]

Another commute day, but the roads were nice and clear.  The air was crisp, the sun was shining and everything was covered in a layer of frosty snow.  Basically, it was gorgeous!  So, I didt my usual midddle-of-the-road-stop and snapped this picture. :)

[day 59 :: march 8 :: canon rebel xsi, 50mm :: photoshop]

Okay, this is another cheat.  I forgot to take a photo this day, this is actually from the 6th.  However, he looks super handsome, so I'm posting it as a place holder.  Out of 59 (well 60 counting below), I've only missed 2 days...not too bad!

[day 60 :: march 9 :: canon rebel xsi, 50mm :: photoshop]

YAY!  Met up with two my of favorite ladies in Des Moines and had a little photo, girls day.  It was lots of fun!  The rain stopped for a bit right before dinner (at Americana, yum!), so we set up the tripod and took some fun photos at the sculpture park.  I also did a little photoshoot for my friend Lindsay (middle), so I hope to post those sometime in the next week or so.

**************

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
