A simple bolted door with significant meaning.
Usually we bolt the door when the last person has come home for the day.
My younger brother moved out of the house today and this was bolted without him.
Monday 28th February 2011. Back to work on yet another totally miserable day in Paris. Not a lot happened today other than work, lots of reading, and sorting my life out. The single exciting thing about my day was that it was light outside when I left my apartment!!! Before the holidays it was still dark when I arrived at work, an hour after leaving, so it kind of felt like I'd had a 2 hour lie-in this morning. Spring is on its way (just very, very, very slowly....)
I definitely didn't really quickly snap this photo while getting on the Metro to come home cos I'd realised I hadn't taken one yet. Honest.
The street was looking gorgeous when I got home after a long day of classes and appointments. If only all things could be this pretty.
Day 14 of 365

(Project 365)
this, to me, is just kind of a document. i had a really shitty day and i got a package from a friend - little things like cookies and tea and a book i hadn't read and toothpaste (one of my new years resolutions was to brush my teeth more, which is extra important if you have one of the autoimmune diseases that i have, sjogren's syndrome - the body attacks all mucous membranes) - and a scarf that perfectly matched my winter coat (she's never seen my winter coat - even more amazing) -- and in the back you can see another bag that another friend made me, it's a little hand made purse that's got geishas on it and she sent it with a book of poetry - and i really took all of this to remind me that even on lousy days i have friends that care about me and that are always willing to be there for me in any way they can, even if it's by finding the perfect scarf to match my coat or whatever.

Earlier this year, I was excited to hear that one of my friends was getting married. I was even happier when I found out that I got to celebrate her pending nuptials at her bridal shower.
When I arrived at her future in-laws' house, I was greeted by two of her bridesmaids, which also happen to be friends of mine...and one being the twin sister of the bride-to-be. She was all decked out in Indian garb...which made me wish that I had known about it. I have a couple saris lying at home.
Well...it turns out that one of their family friends is from Pakistan...and not only did the twins dress in honor of her culture, but their friend also brought scarves for everyone. =) Never had I been showered with so many gifts at a bridal shower.
The photo above was taken during another instance of Pakistani tradition. It was the beginning of a henna ceremony in which the bride (dressed in red with her hair in an up do) paraded in while dancing.
It was a fun afternoon...I'm just sad I'll be out of town during her actual wedding. =(
Wayne County PA has the largest wind farm in Pennsylvania. I find these ominous giants fascinating. You can't help but stare at them. If memory serves me right they are 300 ft tall and the blades are 150 feet long.
Three years ago a wind developer built the Waymart Wind Farm along the spine of the Moosic Mountain. Its 43 turbines power 22,000 homes.
Florida Power and Light owns and operates the turbines, they denied a request for an interview and tour.
County Commissioner David Olsommer loves to show off the Waymart Wind Farm.
"There it is there is one," he says as he points out one turbine.
At first the early morning mist hides the turbines, but their presence is still unmistakable. Like a ship through fog, they emerge one at a time, until all 43 are visible. "Listen, you hear the humm... humm.... humm.... like that," said Olsommer.
Domo admires the view from the skywalk between the OHSU and Portland VA Hospital. You can see the TRAM that we used to get to the building coming up the hill just to DOMO's left. I wish I would have brought my CP to minimize the reflections, oh well.
Today's Project 365 photo continues on from yesterday's Fire related theme.
I was driving along today when I noticed these old alarm bells on a wall.
Not often you see 3 of them together. Most I see are on their own.
I like them. They look like giant M&Ms
Project 365 // Day Ninety-Four » I don't think I've ever posted KitKat or told the story of KitKat and I before. Well, here he is. He turned nineteen in March.
For my first Easter, my parents wanted to get me a pet. The options were kitten, chick, duckling or bunny. Any animals, but the kitten would have to go to my Aunt Cindy's shortly after, so they decided on the kitten.
They took me and my Strawberry Shortcake blanket (which I am curled up with right now) to the Humane Society. I was then put on the floor on my blanket and they started to bring out kittens to me. None of them clicked. Then my dad found a cute little blank and white tuxedo kitten that he fell in love with. The kitten, later named KitKat (I was ten months. KitKat was about all I could say).
Anyway, they put him down next to me on my blanket. He walked around me and sniffed and then curled up in a ball on my lap and went to sleep while I tugged on his ears and tail. He came home with us and we've been together ever since.
It is honestly heartbreaking that my parents are putting him to sleep soon. He is old. He has issues sitting down now and he no longer uses the litter box because he can't remember where it is most of the time.
I'm sure they'll be more KitKat stories to come, like when I was learning to walk and he'd pounce my head or when I would throw him down the laundry shoot. He's been one of my closest friends and at times, my sole confident. I can't believe how hard this is. I started to cry yesterday, but today I was a big girl when I saw him. I've been trying to get myself ready for this for months now, since I knew it was coming, but its not getting any easier.
Happy Australia Day everyone! If you're in Vancouver, I hope you can come along to my Queensland Flood Fundraising event at "Republic" on Granville Street at 9pm tonight!

Easter came a little early for my gorgeous little niece, Cara.
Her classic line today, "Uncle Robbie, I'm going away for a few days. You're going to miss me!"
Bless!

Our previous house had a stainless steel fridge. Our new house has a black fridge that holds magnets. Kylie likes to hang her daily paintings and "school" lesson on the fridge. She's been tickled to see her artwork throughout the day.
After dropping Cameron off at the golf course I went for a short walk along the canal today.
This was the Forth and Clyde Canal. Unlike the Union Canal, the Forth and Clyde Canal has locks on it, to let boats go up and down hills. And there's quite a bit of engineering in these locks.
And so that's what led to today's picture - a cam on the lock mechanism. Something simple, yet instantly elegant.
This is a meager start to a new 365 project. It's not the best photo but I could have easily agonized over the first photo. I thought it best just to get capture something and here it is.
Today, April 21 marks the beginning of the one month countdown to graduation day.
Anyway, another quick shot (sigh). But I tell myself that at least I'm not skipping days.
If you're wondering what that crap is on my face, it's white eyeliner. I use it once in awhile when I feel like really shaping my eyebrows but I got carried away in boredom.
