July 1st was a pretty awesome date for me.

One: The public smoking ban started, which is so liberating to me. I can finally walk into a bar without getting a headache and my sinuses acting up. I know this is controversial subject and half of my family is affected by this, but I can’t help it, I LOVE it. In fact if I don’t have to work this weekend (yes, I might actually have to work) I’m heading to the bars. WhooHoo!

Two: July 1st marked six months that I’ve been doing my Daily Photo Project. I am so glad I took on this challenge. I will have a documentation of everyday of my life for a year, how cool. The one thing I learned very quickly was to not upload your picture everyday, it became very annoying, very fast. Instead I wait usually until Sunday and do a week’s worth and that seems to be working out. I think everyone should do this, it is a lot of fun, well, I think it is fun.

Some favorites:
Caucus Night
Random Envelope at Work
West End Salvage
Puck U
Grandma’s Door
Daisies at work
Walk Now for Autism

June has been a crazy month. Within this crazy month two important men turned 50, two weeks apart, my step-dad and dad.

Tim turned 50 on June 10th, we celebrated with a low-key grill out at mom’s, friends/family. It was a chill, relaxed time.

Dad turned 50 on June 28th, we celebrated at his place with a grill out, friends/family and some beer…it got funny.

Next 50, Deb in August and we are heading to Chicago for that one. Can’t wait!

Pictures!

Yep, another one…god I love this show.
