& that's the way life goes

Well technically, we are starting the last day of March but we want to start on a Monday. Oh dear, and when I say “we” I mean Irish Cailin and I. It’s our second, month long, photo blog challenge. Here are the rules:

• You have to blog a photo every day
• It has to be something of a certain color (blue, green, yellow, red)
• It has to be one of the 7 items previously established (food, nature, clothing/fabric, text, office supplies, household item, wild card)
• Each week you have to capture an item in each of these categories

This week’s color is blue and today’s category is office supplies:

Feel free to join in, we’d love to see what you can capture. The more the merrier

It’s amazing how inspiring reading blogs has been to me.

I had a couple private blogs that I would randomly update, but it wasn’t enough. Since I’ve started this blog, and really started blogging, I’ve realized how much I’ve missed writing every day. I know some of it’s mundane stuff, you know the daily grind, but other posts are personal or entertaining (I hope) and I love every single minute of sharing stuff with the new people I’ve “met”.

I know I really need to update my blogroll, because seriously, my google reader is overflowing! SleepyJane’s is one of my favorite bloggers, and you should totally check her blog out if you haven’t already. And on this rainy, crappy Michigan morning, she decided to award me! (This is some exciting stuff, it definitely turned my Monday around. Thanks SleepyJanes!)

And now, here’s a list in no particular order that I’d like to pass this award on to. I hope it gets your week off to a good start
