Starting another year

I just don’t think I can stop taking pictures now! But, I don’t want to jump right back into another Project 365 so I will take a break from that. I met my goal for getting into the 5K so my training might get a little less regular, I’ll have to try to not let that happen. I was feeling a lot of closure about things like that. But, I still have plenty on my plate at work and there is always something to do at the house…so no end of all projects!

Reading all my “If Today Is Your Birthday” horoscopes (horror-scopes?) this morning before I left for work, it appears that the coming year might be a bumpy one for this little (but older) Scorpio. We’ll just have to see how it goes, I suppose..but I will take advice from my candy.

P365 – 102307

This is it…the last photo of my Project 365. These are my good friends in the area who join us each month for our movie nite. We celebrated my birthday eve and watched “Little Shop of Horrors” Big Fun!

As I look over this past year in photos, I’m sure to find that the majority of the pictures were kittens (it was their first year, of course) but I also bet there will be plenty of pictures of food, fun with friends and life being lived. Can’t ask for more than that, now can we?

Off to start another 45 years!

P365 – 102207

Look what my sweetie planted for me for my birthday. We are calling them the radioactive mums!!
