January 24th- DINNER!

Maggie's always begging at the table- just ONCE- ONCE- we let her actually SIT at the table- she looks thrilled, right? haha.

January 23- Attention

This is Maggie- when she's not being paid enough attention- it's like she's saying "Go ahead- I'll wait" haha. too funny.

January 20th- BLUE!

I'm working on re-doing my room, and I went to the local scrapbooking shop, cause I want to get some pictures on the wall that are of my FAMILY! I did my best to pick out the closest blue to my comforter that I could remember- NOT BAD for not taking the pillowcase with me to match it up, eh???

January 18th- Tilt

The VERY famous Pug head tilt. Took her to the park- until it started to POUR!!!

January 17th- Me

31 years of this face staring back at me in the mirror. Could be worse, right? haha.

January 16th- Hung

My Pictures look pretty all hung with care!

January 15th- Thyme

My FAVORITE buffet place! Sweet Tomatoes!
You put this on the table when you're leaving. Ultimate fun people watching and tummy stuffing to be had here! One side of the card says- "I'll be RIPE back" and the other-
pictured here- CUTE.

January 14th- Labor

a labor of creativity...
I took all these photos, and for weeks now, I've had these visions of how these would look on my wall- and WHEW- has it ever been a PROJECT!!! I thought it would be neat to do, but it was MUCH harder than I thought it would be... I'll be sure to post pics of it in my bedroom, rather than up against a trash can! haha.

January 13th- Wiped

A tired little Pooper. She loves it when one of us is home during the day. With my new job, I'll be working occasional evening shifts- Maggie had fun this day- wearing herself OUT by playing fetch until she conked out on the couch!

January 12th- Behave

Maggie and I having a talk about how we should behave while sitting upon someone else's couch... Shhhh- note the STILL lingering Christmas tree on the deck- ugh. Annoyance. STILL waiting to get a key to the recycling bins at our Condos- gee- we've only lived here 6 months!!!

January 11th- Slurp

PUGS and KISSES!!!
Ok- I promise I will TRY to not have Maggie in EVERY post! But she's awesome and is so much fun to have around!!! Such a good little Pooper!!!

January 10th- Champoeg

Ok- so I MAY look a little hung over here... My roomies and I drank pretty heavily the night of my birthday, but surprisingly enough, I was WIDE awake at 8AM- So I went for a drive to Champoeg State Park (pronounced Sham-POO-egg) and checked out the camping and swimming spots! Looks so cool- can't wait to see if we can get a group to go this summer!

Here's me out on the river-





















And - the beautiful scenery!! So awesome!

January 9th- First!

So here it is- my first post of the year as a 31 year old! Wow- doesn't it look like I am 31? hah. Maybe 3 plus 1! I want to do the 365 Project, mostly because I keep promising to blog more- and I figure the best thing to get me talking is pictures!

So here's my thoughts on this picture- It's my 31st Birthday, not many birthdays have gone by where I do any HUGE celebrating... It's January 9th- and this usually means two things- 1) everyone is BROKE from Christmas, and 2) It's FREAKING cold outside and there's NO WAY I can have a beach party or a picnic party or anything fun like that- because its always COLD!

This year was fun, the roomies and I went and had a delicious Italian meal, good waitress, fun laughs, and dinner was wrapped up by a piece of FREE cake, and a lady came and sung Happy Birthday to me in Italian... and no- I dont mean the silly juvenille version of Happy Birthday, I mean- all out, Opera style, multi octave Happy Birthday! It was awesome! After dinner, we went over to the bar, I acted like a fool and had some more good laughs and I went to bed around 4AM the next day- what a fun time! Hooray 31!
