Day 25 of 365.
I am a witness to the power of storytelling.
For the last several weeks, I have been part of a group working with Heather Box of The Million Person Project (www.themillionpersonproject.org) to tell my story.
It has been an exhausting and exhilarating journey. This road has false starts, shitty first drafts and breakdowns along the way.
And in the end, nothing prepares you for public storytelling.
Except public storytelling.
And that is an awesome feeling.

25/365 #365project
Saturday was a wet, rainy day. The kids had spent the night (Fri) with my parents, while we had a date night downtown with friends.
So I picked up the kids and dropped S off with N, so C could have a playmate with her BFF on Saturday afternoon. And they played and giggled and pretended and ran and giggled, etc etc etc. They had so much fun.
But the kids were super excited because we had tickets to see Monster Jam at the Alamodome on Saturday night. I must admit that I was skeptical, but it turned out to be a fun show to watch. The kids looked cute in their truck tire earphones (it was so loud), and C had fun with her own little digital camera taking pictures. A fun night!
The only bad part? Walking to and from the Alamodome for a mile in the rain... The parking and the rain was a nightmare. We were soaked!

In this photo, my brother Larry’s helping Ruby blow the candles out on her birthday cake. She also has a little help and encouragement from her big sister and brother.
001.365 - January 1, 2014 - Well, I'm trying to decide if I'm going to make a go of another 365 project. Last night I was sure I was going to, but tonight I started to second guess myself. As of last night my plan was to do it, but to make it something different by making the entire project black and white. I also want to do a 52 week project this year and will most definitely make a go of that but without the black and white restriction to keep some color in my photostream. So, for now, to give myself another day to decide about the 365 project I went ahead and took a quick snapshot of myself for today's shot. I guess we'll see what I feel like doing tomorrow!
My plan is to post my 52 week project photos on Friday of each week.
This is the last picture I had kept for a while not uploading here. This is pretty much all of the first five rolls of film. I have accumulated 6 rolls of new pictures now and I will send them for development after finish the current roll this weekend. Can't wait to see the new pictures : )
Location: Princeton University, Whiteman's college (?).
Extreme close-up! :) They say that everyone has certain things about themselves that they would change if they could, and I'm certainly no exception to this rule. That being said, I wouldn't do anything to my eyes. They change color from blue to green to gray depending on what I wear and with my makeup. Today, I'm wearing a red top and taupe/brown eye makeup, which makes them a greenish-blue (my favorite of all their hues).
For those wondering, here are the details on my eye makeup:
-Lush Cream Eyeshadow in Sophisticated on the lid to the crease
-Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Snakebite (from the Naked 2 palette) for the crease
-Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Bootycall (from the Naked 2 palette) for the highlight from the crease up to the brows
-Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Half Baked for the corner
-Bare Escentuals Round the Clock Waterproof Eyeliner in 9 PM
-Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara
Also, by the way, it's super difficult to take a picture of your own eye.
