12 of 12 IV: August 2009

Yes, it's the 12th of August so you get 12 photos of my day. It was a bit challenging because I am in Dallas for work and was in an all day meeting which didn't provide me with too much opportunity to snap some photos but I did manage to get 12 shots. I'm heading back to the dry heat of Phoenix tomorrow and can't wait because this humidity does nothing for my hair. : )

7:20am CST- Smiling despite the fact my internal clock has not caught up with Central Time.

9:30 am - This was inside the women's bathroom stall. Apparantly it is necessary to provide a courtesy checklist on proper toilet use and I must say it was a very polite checklist.

This was outside the bathrooms. Nice to know where to go if a tornado touches down because I come from a state that has no major weather issues.

Mmmm, Panera Bread ice tea. My caffeine fix.

6:00pm - Dinner at Texas Land & Cattle with the work gang.

The view from my hotel room. The green awnings are of the Dart Rail System that can take you downtown. The window was super dirty so the shot isn't very good.

8:00pm - Checking my farms on Facebook.

8:30pm - Watching Wipeout. Nothing much on TV...

so, I decided to read the USA Today.

10:30pm - I took a little walk outside the hotel and they have this neat water and light display that dances to music beats. People like to run through the water to see if they can avoid getting wet. It didn't work out to well for a few people.

More dancing water

11:00pm - Watching Big Brother 11 on Showtime After Dark. I was surprised to find that the hotel had Showtime becuase typically they have HBO. Sweet!

12 of 12 IV: March 2009

It's March 12th and time for sharing some pics of my day (click here to find out how you can participate in the 12 of 12). I got to spend my day in two different states, Dallas and Phx. The weather in Dallas was cold and rainy so I was glad to be coming home to the sunshine and 70 degree temps.

8:00am (Dallas) - My suitcase. I've never packed this light but with a two day trip to Dallas for work I decided to give it a shot. I had to document it because I'm not so sure this will happen again. : )

10:15AM (Dallas) - This was the restaurant we ate at the night before, Texas Land and Cattle. It was good. I had a filet. You can see the raindrops on the window as there was no way I was rolling down the window as it was like 36 degrees. My blood is way too thin for those kind of temps!

11:00AM (Dallas)- The Best Buy kiosk at DFW airport. You could buy an IPOD and camera by entering your credit card and it drops down just like a soda machine. I wonder how many items actually get purchased. The digital Elph camera was $299.99. Seems a bit pricy.

12:45pm (Phoenix) - My hubby picking me up at the airport. He stopped and got me an ice tea from AJ's and these beautiful roses. What a guy! Love you babe!

1:30pm (Phoenix) - This is where we went for lunch. They have 40% off lunch specials. What a bargain!

2:45pm (Phoenix) - A run to Target for a birthday card for my niece Caitlyn. These were these cute Easter decorations hanging from the ceiling.

2:55pm (phoenix) - A nice sunny day in Phoenix. This is the drive out of the Desert Ridge shopping center. I like the look of the palm trees. Nice shot of my SUV antenna.

3:00pm (phoenix) - My hubby with his fairly new haircut. He decided on going a bit shorter and I think it looks good on him.

3:15pm (phoenix)- The MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) that is opening in 2010. They are moving right along with the construction. It's been interesting to watch the progress.

7:30pm (phoenix) - My neice Caitlyn. We celebrated her 12th birthday tonight. Happy Birthday Miss Caitlyn!!!!

Let me introduce you to Special (yes, this is the name my Nephew Brycen gave his new fish). This little fish is living up to his name as show in the next picture....

I think Special needs a good wipe because he seems to swim around with junk hanging out of his trunk for quite some time and check out how long it is! What are they feeding that fish?! LOL!

On that note I'm off to bed as it's been a very long day and I'm feeling the two hour time difference.
