Week 11/52 - Beauty All Around

Back on the bridge.

More daylight.

More running.

Amazing sunset.

Blue and orange.  

Really that simple?

Yep.

Week 10/52 - Big Picture: Long Shot

Instead of wide, I went long.

Apparently following prompt instructions is a challenge.

I checked out the blue sky and calm river as I ran.

Fear of heights keeps me from hugging the side

Until someone runs by me too close.

The yellow dotted line is constant.

If a dotted line can be considered constant:

Constantly intermittent?

Kind of like my energy during the run

in spite of sun, breeze, and a cute t-shirt.

The Ravenel Bridge exhausted me.

Post-sweating I napped for two hours.

And then I napped some more.

Woke up this morning at four

Since I lost a whole day of productivity--not just an hour.

But I didn't lose five miles...I got that!

Week 9/52 - Macro Cozy

A week behind.

Still under the same blankie.

My Grammy Hine made it.

It keeps me and the kitties cozy.

Even if they throw up on it occasionally...

Happy Saturday, Kitty Mommy!

Time to work the week's mail.

Why do I subscribe to People magazine?

DVR'd TV is magical.

Whirling washing machine sounds delightful.

I hate folding clothes.

Will I run instead?

Hmmmmmmmmm

Week 8/52 - Hello COLOR!

I love colored pencils.
My stabilo pencil is my bff.
The eyes have it.
Big colored pages make me happy.
I sat by the pool and made faces.
Lots of them.
Tried some different styles.
All that while sitting by the pool.
It's back to real life today:
Email, work, pizza, performance reports, big trucks boys, work, and
COLOR.

Week 7/52 - Loving Family Adventure Collage

Valentine's weekend!
Ma and Pa arrived on Friday night.
They left 17 or so inches of snow behind.
Orlando-ready toes from my Moncks Corner pedi experience--"Coral Magic"
How a 42-year-old single lady with three cats travels...in her parents' backseat.
Aunt Sara's ready for us.
No work for eight days. 
(Uh, no "office" for eight days...computer is with me...gotta keep it real.)

Daddy loves having two of us in the car with him all day.
We only stop a few times to switch seats.
I get to be the "in city" driver.
Mom follows printed-out Mapquest directions.
I ignore her and use my phone.  :)
Sunshine State.  Palm trees. Swimming pools.
Mom's béarnaise sauce.
Dad reading in the corner.
Puzzle going on the table.
Time to go for a run.
I'm so lucky.

Week 6/52 - Balanced Energy

Focused on the quiet calm.

Walking the pier at Folly.

Overcast skies and a chilly breeze.

A man walking ahead.

Waves constantly moving.

Ebb and flow.

Cute boots and tight jeans.

Fishing rod holders empty and anticipating summer.

Feeling together yet wondering why.

Smelling salty; tasting sweet.

Holding hands?

Murals of seagrass and shrimp.

Integrating old and new.

Accepting less.

Expecting more.

Week 5/52 - Getting Outside and Freezing

Icy rain.

Two days away from the office.

Working from home and drinking beer.

Breaking out the "good" camera.

Ma calls and says that Jim Cantore is in Charleston.

I answered emails.

I have two phones in hand trying to answer "warm shelter" questions.

My force support troops took care of business at the dining facilities. 

They kept lodging going.  No issues.

They are awesome

It was painful to walk outside in that cold.
The fireplace was really warm and toasty.
A pot roast was delightful.  Thanks to mommy for talking me through the recipe.
My flight chiefs were amazed at the crazy questions; it's a part of life.
Must keep smiling in the face of cold toes.
Keeping smiling at the end of the storm.
Leon's over. 
Life is good in Charleston.
Bring on spring.
