I have two main goals for myself as a board member this year: say "yes" to what I can do well and say "no" to what I cannot do well.
Good luck to me.

52 Photos, Week 4
This week's story: This wasn't at 5:30. It was at 8:30. At 5:30 I was getting ready to start the board retreat for the United Way board of which I am the secretary. I love the United Way. I love board service. I do not love late nights.

Good luck to me.

52 Photos, Week 3
This week's story: Last night while putting up my Christmas decorations (yes, I finally did it) I did something weird to my lower back. Pulled a muscle or something. I felt awful and crawled up into bed at about 9pm.
It's a bad sign when back breaking pain is the preferable feeling. At about 1:30 I woke up with a wave a nausea and so began the night from hell. I was in the bathroom about every 45 minutes with no sleep in between. No food? No problem. Still puked.
At 8 am Brett took me to the doctor (where I threw up twice) and I got a shot for nausea and vomiting. This has pretty much put me to sleep (or kept puke from interrupting my much needed sleep, I'm not sure which).
Needless to say, the Love Dare, Day Two was put on hiatus (not to mention working, eating, etc.) but true to my promise, here is potentially one of the worst photos ever taken of me for my 52 photos challenge. Enjoy!
(Editor's note: Brett didn't give me two black eyes. I chose this Instagram filter because it made me look extra dead. Good work huh?!)

52 Photos, Week 2
This week's story: I have a zit on my chin and I am virtually exhausted after two 12 hour work days. Eagerly looking forward to Friday when Brett and I go to Indiana for the weekend. I need some unstructured time.

52 Photos, Week 1
I'm pretty vain, so if you're me and I am, this idea is a no brainer. Does this sound like a resolution? It's not a resolution. Just a fun activity. I swear.
Last February I did a Photo-A-Day challenge from Fat Mum Slim. It was really fun and I did a moderate job of keeping up. Brett's cousin Jessica tweeted about trying a photo challenge in 2013 and I decided to get on board as well! She suggested this article for good ideas.
While I almost always have my phone in hand, a 365 project seemed a little ambitious to tackle the first time around, so I'm opting for a once a week fashion. 52 photos in 2013. There are weekly photo challenges that offer up assignments (like Project 52) but I wanted to pick my own subject matter, hoping that will increase my chances of participating until the end!
Anyway, I'm going to do a self portrait every Tuesday at 5:30 pm. Why? Because it seemed arbitrary enough to work. This is a bit frightening in a way because I like to keep up the pretense of being an attractive person and it seems to me that I won't always look very good every Tuesday, least of all by 5:30 pm. In fact, it's just occurred to me that for the next few weeks I'll probably have just showered after visiting my personal trainer earlier in the afternoon and will almost certainly not have make up on or have done my hair. Ah well. I'll take the good with the bad. Maybe it will be a project of self discovery and acceptance.
Here's my first photo, taken on New Years Day in the car. We were driving home from celebrating in Des Moines. I'm happy with my new haircut and wearing a scarf my brother-in-law gave me for Christmas.
