12 of 12 December 08

From 12 of 12 December 08

8:15 AM- I am way behind on tidying up for the holidays. All this stuff has got to go, accompanied by a massive dusting effort. I like to decorate with sparkle, so dust is not welcome.

12:47 PM- I won't bore you with a photo of Pepper in my laundry basket, since GMiller copped my idea. Instead, look at the pretty blue flame under my cookpot as I prepare lunch.

1:09 PM- Now drool with envy over my bacon pasta with shaved Romano cheese. It was fantastic. I love the roasted garlic in this dish.

1:51 PM- GMiller comes home from a sad errand, and gets welcoming and sympathetic kisses.

3:33 PM- I'm no closer to cleaning up the foyer at the end of the day. GMiller relaxes on the couch.

4:39 PM- My work day is over, so I pack my computer for Monday's return to the office. I didn't leave the condo at all today!

6:38 PM- I fixed a tuna noodle casserole for my MIL. She had a bad spell recently and needs a little TLC. She has a minder, so I had to put instructions on the lid to remove before baking. You never know about the common sense level on some people, and I'd hate the meal to be ruined because the minder didn't think forward very well.

7:56 PM- I also make a chicken and sausage dish for GMiller, who also needs some TLC today. This is one of our favorites, which is good because it makes a ton and we eat it for about three days after baking.

11:19 PM- Back on the couch after dinner, lamenting the lack of entertainment on TV. We're getting a HDTV for our holiday gift to one another, and it will only serve to enhance the clarity on the known quantity of the programming selection. We'll be watching a lot of movies.

11:20 PM- Our holiday cards are signed by both and are now ready for the mailbox.

11:26 PM- Visions of sugarplums, or at least candied mouse peel dance in his head. Flannel is adorable.

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) When referring to the project, please refer to it as "12 OF 12" - not "12 ON 12."

6) 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.
