Project 365

Last year my Knitter-in-Law had a Project 365. To improve upon her photography skills, she resolved to take 1 picture a day. She then posted them on her blog. If you have time, I suggest looking through them as she has some really amazing pictures. She said at the end that she felt it helped not only her photo-taking abilities and knowledge, but also helped her view things in different perspectives. Or maybe she said she improved her viewing skills and knowledged her differences.
It's been a while since I've read the post.

Either way, I'm stealing the title and some generalities of this project for myself. She's keen so I don't think she'll mind.

I wanted to start off the year with the Couch to 5K program, which knitter-in-law (shocker. - I see a pattern forming) informed me of when I mentioned I had begun walking with the intent to start running. I actually managed to start this before the beginning of the year, but on January 3rd I decided to tackle another task. I took myself off my medication, which was prescribed to me for various reasons which I will not go into, but I recently learned just how horrible this medication was. (bored? want some interesting reading that may encourage you to crusade with me? google Effexor XR and Effexor XR withdrawal... and sign the petition to make Wyeth-Ayert stop telling doctors there are no side effects.) Back to my point: While I am still experiencing withdrawal (mostly brain shocks--today is day 17, in case you were wondering)I have decided that I wanted a Project 365.

Earlier last year I had posted random goings-on and enjoyed it. My Project 365 is starting January 15th, because it's my project and that is when I started. (with the exception of one from the 4th; I just can't get the image out of my head.)

I say now as a disclaimer for the entire project: This is non-judgmental. If you feel that by posting that I saw a man in a woman's blouse with a hot pink faux pearl necklace wearing a hot pink bra is somehow judgmental and mean, than you should stop reading for the year. Because I saw it. That was your January 4th P365 posting.

I also would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any lame "I didn't leave the house so here's another post on something my cat/fish/husband did."

Also, I may post pictures if I felt the need to take one, but I in no way intend to completely steal from my knitter-in-law.

That is all.

(Postings of January 15th through the 19th coming soon.)
