8:28 AM- I'm feeling neglectful of my household duties, so I stay home this morning to do paperwork and filing. I'm going to see a new doctor next month and have to fill out a ton of gross forms.
10:11 AM- I am a crack-up. If only either of us could remember what I said to get this reaction. Then we could all laugh together...
11:21AM- On our way to chocolate shopping, we stop at Colorado Kitchen for brunch. If you are in the DC area, don't let the opportunity to dine here pass you by. The joint only holds 50 people but boy is it good! A good value, too.
12:02 PM- It did not take long to share a patty melt and corn flour waffles. Gavin got bacon and a side of sausages with his waffles, I got crispy onion strings on the plate with my melt. All incredibly good. Chef Gillian Clark makes what is considered among the top 10 burgers in DC. Having tried two of the ten, I think she's the best so far. The waffles were awesome! Subtle corn flavor, fluffy and light topped with butter and maple syrup.
1:35 PM- After unexpectedly running in to some friends at the chocolate shop, they convince us to go to Arrowine with them for some free cheese and wine tastings. Like we need more to eat after 6 different kinds of chocolate and brunch. Remind me why I didn't exercise this morning?
6:13 PM- I wake from my food and heat induced nap to discover that the china I bought has arrived. The pattern is called "Dirty Dishes" because they're naked ladies all around the edge. I love it.
6:16 PM- MD heat wave+no building A/C=chores in underpants. GMiller vacums while trying to beat the heat.
6:47 PM- It is so hot in the condo that our wine needs a cool down before it's drinkable. Watching Good Eats and drinking a nice Spanish red is a good way to stay cool.
7:54 PM- Pepper also feels that it's too hot. If he were an old man, he'd be wearing dark trousers with a strap undershirt and a handkerchief on his bald head. Since he's a cat, he's trying to provide as much surface area for cool air as possible. A new renewable energy source? Perhaps.
10:54 PM- Both Casino Royale and the wine are over, and bedtime soon approaches.
11:15 PM- Flannel and Steve McQueen share a secret: You don't have to beat the heat if you're born cool.
11:51 PM-I like that every night spent with GMiller ends with a kiss.
If you are new to 12 of 12 - here are the basics:
1) ALL PHOTOS MUST BE TAKEN ON THE 12TH OF EACH MONTH.
2) After you post your pictures onto a webpage of your choice (Livejournal, typepad, MySpace, Flickr, etc...) please post the TIME, LOCATION, and A SMALL COMMENT in the pic.
3) You own the rights to all of your pictures. The idea "12 of 12" is Chad Darnell's. While credit is not necessary, please don't credit someone else with the idea.
4) The original concept was at least one body part in the picture. That idea was slowly faded away. The important part is that it is 12 pics.
5) The monthly Bonus pic is a 13th picture and is optional.
6) When referring to the project, please refer to it as "12 OF 12" - not "12 ON 12."
7) Once completed, please e-mail or post the PERMALINK of the post AND the city and state or city and country of WHERE THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN. (If you are on vacation, it's where the pics were taken.)
(The permalink is the link to the ENTRY of your page. If you just send me your website, I have to track it down. By listing the permalink, it helps for people to go back and view your previous 12 of 12 entries from previous months.)
ANYONE is welcome to join in, even if you've never done it before! I hope you will.
