2014 Daily Selfie: Week 10 {In the Dark Room}

Category: In the Dark Room Tags: , , , , Leave a Comment

Hi, you guys! How was your weekend? Mine was all kinds of fab. It was a celebration weekend: my birthday is today {41 years old} and my anniversary is tomorrow {19 years}. My family went out of their way to make me feel special this weekend… I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.

Here are a few pictures from last week:

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 9 {In the Dark Room}

Category: In the Dark Room Tags: , , , 2 Comments

Oh my word, y’all, I know everyone has been complaining about the weather but, seriously, can we at least go for consistency? One day it’s pushing 70º and the next we’re at ~5º with ice. I need it be warm or cold, not both.

Other than that, the week has been relatively uneventful. But I’m grateful for each and every day.

Here’s my week in review, courtesy of Instagram:

#2014dailyselfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

This was my entry into the Instagram Photo Challenge hosted by Mashable earlier this week. The prompt was #MyFuel. We all know coffee fuels me.

It was picture day at the library. Pictures should never be taken during winter or summer, when it’s rainy or windy. In fact, staff photos should be done during optimal situations with photoshopping a requirement.

My unintentional Mardi Gras inspired manicure.

Saturday brought a new month and breakfast with the hubs at our favorite spot, Hickory House.

#2014dailyselfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

I found kitchen curtains at Annie Laurie’s Antiques for $3! And they’re handmade.

Squeekerz was hunkered down while the rest of us prepared for the pending ice/sleet/whatevertheheckelse storm.

My contribution to the Instagram challenge hosted by I Heart Faces for the month of March. If you’re joining in, use: #iHeartFaces The prompt was: look down. Have I mentioned coffee fuels me?

#2014dailyselfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

I woke up to lightening, thunder, and sleet. Seriously, Winter, this must end. Also this does look a bit stalkerish, you know, pictures through the blinds and all…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 8 {In the Dark Room}

Category: In the Dark Room Tags: , , , 5 Comments

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was absolutely wonderful: the sun was out, I disconnected from work, and I got to hang out with my family. Seriously, what more could I ask for? Not much, I tell ya.

Well, I’ve decided to revamp my 2014 Daily Selfie posts. I knew this would happen… But I’m tired of me. I know the point of the challenge is to document ourselves and our lives, to provide a visual memory of our feelings {be they good or bad}, but I just couldn’t keep it up. So, I’m going to share my favorite Instagram pictures from the previous week and tell the story behind them.

Enjoy:

2014 Daily Selfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

It’s time to start getting back in shape, I’ve registered for both Color Me Cape 5K and Run for God. I don’t want to collapse on the side of the street.

Dare to be Fabulous! I think I need to adopt that as my motto!

Smile Brilliant Giveaway {Living Outside the Stacks}

I’m hosting a giveaway for a SmileBrilliant Professional Teeth Whitening Kit with LED Light, go here for a chance to win. Seriously, what is more fabulous than a white smile?

#2014DailySelfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

On Saturday, Miss 18 had First Steps, which is where first year college students begin the process of transitioning from high school seniors to college freshmen. I was fine until they started talking about Move In Day, then I felt my heart fall into my stomach.

And Mammarazzi was shut down. I took so many pictures during First Steps that the girls were ready to take my phone.

Drinking coffee is a big part of my day. I like the smell, the taste, the warmth. It’s comfort in a cup.

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 7 {In the Dark Room}

Category: In the Dark Room Tags: , , , Leave a Comment

Happy Monday, everyone! Are you off today for President’s Day? I’m not. In fact, I’ll be sitting in my office trying not to fall asleep. I woke up way too early, 3 something, and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I hate when that happens. Does that ever happen to you? How do you settle back down?

Here’s my week in pictures:

Week 7 {Living Outside the Stacks}

I noticed a theme with this week’s selfies, they all involved coffee. I think I really need to diversify.

Hey, how’s it going? All’s well here, considering the crazy amount of snow and ice we’ve had. Seriously, I’m so over it. My kids haven’t been to school in 11 days. Eleven. Days. That’s just not right. Especially since I had to go to work every one of those days…

Day 33

New plant purchase for the office. Hope I don’t kill it…

Day 34

#2014dailyselfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

I think he was faking illness for attention.

Day 35

#2014dailyselfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

Just sitting there watching everyone leave ahead of the snow storm…

Day 36

#2014dailyselfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

Mmmmm….

Day 37

#2014dailyselfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

I need a fancy headset for telephone conferences, preferably one that looks like a tiara.

Day 38

#2014dailyselfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

On behalf of #FistBumpFriday: Happy National Wear Red Day! Hope you’re doing everything you can to protect your heart.

Day 39

#2014dailyselfie {Living Outside the Stacks}

Hangin’ with the hubs…
