Those new to 365 photo blogs. The objective of this blog is to take a photo, every day, for 1 year. Add a caption to help us followers understand your photo. Other members and followers comment on your photos. When you are down you get support that brings you back up. When you have good news you have friends here to celebrate with. Friendships have been made here and its another place you can call home. It is also very fun to look back on your year(s) and see how far you have come, what changed and what stayed the same.
I can't believe yet another year is coming to an end on Photographic State. Let alone the 3rd year! I'm hoping this next year can be even bigger and better! Any followers who have enjoyed the past year (or more) and would like to join us on our next year of adventures please contact me at photostate2009@gmail.com. I will send you the information about the group and how it works. We are looking for males and females to join. We have a lot of couples returning and joining already for year 4. We would like to see more. Share this with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Photographic State year 4 starts March 1st, 2012. Send me your name and email so we can get you signed up!
Thanks,
Kirsten

Went to a Birthday party at a new place in town which is freaking AWESOME!
Its like a huge playground for kids and PARENTS. There is a "castle" that
you can climb and slide all throughout and is 4 stories high. Parents have
more then enough room to walk around too. Its completely padded and just a
freaking blast. This was one of my favorite parts. Its a nerf cannon room.
All the cannons are powered by air and the balls are super soft. Its fun to
get in the middle and throw the balls at the people shooting. We will have
to bring the kids back here another time for sure!
I asked an employee if there was just an adult night. She said no but I was
by far not the first person to ask. They serve alcohol here too so it would
be an AWESOME place to rent out for the night. To bad it would probably
cost a couple thousand bucks!

Lately we have been finding rolls of toilet paper shredded apart like
this..... If I catch the cat doing it... it will die!
I will say this is the worst that happened today. I visited my God mom
which helped me feel better and laid with her in bed for a while and
talked. Grandma is doing well and gets to come home ... like HOME tomorrow.
Which is very exciting news. I will also start acting as a caregiver for
her as well and helping her around the house a few times a week. Today....
I had a smile on my face :)

Happy Valentines Day!
This was the only picture I took today, which was a hard one for me.
Valentines day is always a hard one for me but this year it was
exceptionally hard. We were suppose to spend it with my grandmother in the
home but she got into a fight with the nurses last night and tired sneaking
out so they moved her to a new facility over an hour away. Then my God
mother isn't doing well (just diagnosed with cirrhosis of liver) and I'm
waiting to hear word back from that. All in all....today sucked :(

It's nice waking up next to someone, even if you did have to tell said someone to stop snoring during the night. Ha!

Jason pulled out the carpeting in our room. I was hoping against hope that he would find something nice under it. Sure enough, he did not. Next up, expensive wooden floor. Ouch!

Weather dog says it's snowing. Hard. Has been for awhile. No idea how
much is out there, but I'm really glad my plans involve staying inside in
my sweats all day.

This is not a great photo, so you'll have to look closely. Today Clint and
his dad and I toured some of the houses that are part of a local parade of
homes--the big one around here for the year. I kept noticing that there
was this same photo of a black and white cat in several houses. I finally
said something when we were in like the 5th or 6th house, and that made me
take a second look at it... Look REALLY close at the bottom half of the
photo. See what I see? It's totally a cat ass. Asshole, to be precise.
What the...??? In a parade of homes where every detail is perfect, some
houses cost over a million dollars, there's a cat ass displayed? So weird.
Wish I could go back to the other houses to see if it was in those, too,
along with the cat face I kept noticing.

I was feeling skinny today, so I asked Clint to take this one so I could
send it to my mom. She's one of my big weight-loss cheerleaders and one of
the few people in my life I can send a photo to while saying "look how much
weight I've lost!" without feeling like a conceited ass. She provided the
pat on the back I was looking for. Now I can return to usual humility.

Tomorrow is Clint's birthday, so his dad arrived in town tonight. Last
year the two of us teamed up to make an amazing cake for him, so his
expectations for us are high now, apparently. This is our final creation.
Chocolate cake, homemade peanut butter frosting, and mini peanut butter
cups. Then we added some sprinkles just for color. It might not be super
pretty, but we're very proud of ourselves. Can't wait to try it!

Happy Valentines Day to me! Clint totally surprised me with the sweetest
gift ever this morning (e-book he created that's like the most thoughtful
thing ever, so no photo for that--though definitely tears when I found it),
and then these showed up in the afternoon. THEN he made me dinner. It was
a good day. :)

Yep....waiting until the night before to do valentines for classmates. I'm
surprised she sat there the whole time writing her name 30 times without
one complaint.

Cheat. Lauren actually sent me both of these yesterday. We have this, uh,
llama thing... then she sent her impersonation of the photo. I SO needed
the laugh since I was working on a weekend night and was pissed about it.
This photo represents one of the many, many reasons I'm so happy she'll be
joining us next year. :D

I’m saying goodbye to some old friends and saying hello to some new ones. I’ve had these Calphalon pots and pans on the top since year 3 of college - over 20 years! They are incredible pans, but a few are starting to loose their anodizing, so we are getting worried that we are ingesting a little too much aluminum…During our shopping trip yesterday, we were wondering through Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and saw this stack of Calphalon stainless steel pans in some beat up boxes. Since the boxes were damaged, they knocked the price down from $400 to $200! I had not yet spent my Christmas money from Ma & Paw Lid, AND it’s my birthday this week, so we decided to take them home with us. I did my best to check for damage while at the store, but they did not have a scratch on them! The same set sells on Amazon for $350, so I think that we did pretty well!Now I just need to find a good home for the old set…..

Finished closet reorganization today (started yesterday). Moved out the
clothes I'm not wearing and moved back in the clothes that are too big. :D
I have SO much more space now. I love it. Makes me so happy to know
what's actually in there.

cheat from yesterday.
Bailey had her boyfriend over for a play date today. If you look under her
buttons you will see the "diamond" necklace he made her. These two are
adorable together. FYI He is the sweetest, most polite and adorable kid
ever. Plus he dresses pretty snazzy. This is what he chooses to wear every
day. :) to cute.
