More Projects Than Time: 365 Project: Week 50, 51 & 52

Well guys.... it is the end of 2013 and the end of the 365 project for me. I have done this for 2 years and it has been great and made me really look at my surrounding, my daily actions and been akin to a daily mediation but in the last part of this year is has become somewhat of a chore or a obligation instead of something I look forward to. So... I am finishing up the year and then moving all of my picture taking to Instagram (which I already use and love) so come find me there (http://instagram.com/lbgerfen#).

Here are the last three weeks of 2013 .... they were pretty good weeks.

December 8

Christmas Sparkles!

December 9

A cold, still, beautiful sunrise and a somewhat precarious walk to work

December 10

To paraphrase Richard Brautigan ... yesterday's snow is today's mud.

I fell down on the ice and was not feeling too good about my walk home that day.

December 11

One needs to take in all of the Christmas love, light and gaudiness while they can.

December 12

I was scrabbling to finish up all of the crafting I needed for a fair the next day while trying to stay warm under a blanket when these to love-bugs decided I needed a double cuddle... they were right.

December 13

This is such a terrible picture but was such a tasty beer.

December 14

Downtown Tulsa at night! I had a booth in the Indie Emporium craft market Friday and Saturday and all of downtown was lit up and lively as we were packing up the car. I had a very good weekend. And Tulsa is doing a great job of revitalizing their downtown.

December 15

Home. Burritos. Things I like.

(Happy Birthday, Bree. You are the best sister for me)

December 16

A gigantic moon rising.

December 17

There is nothing like a box.

December 18

There is nothing like burrowing under the covers

December 19

Swapped a haircut for fancy, holiday nails. I wish I could live only on the barter system.

December 20

A storm was rapidly approaching.

December 21

I have gone to two 8 year olds roller skating birthday parties this year and it made me realize there should be an adult skate time at every roller rink. I have no desire to do Roller Derby but I would happily pay to skate for a couple of hours every week.

December 22

The ice storm moved in Friday night... NONE of it had thawed even two days later. Ice is beautiful but so damaging. Luckily our trees have bounced back better than I expected.

December 23

These little poached pears are by far the fanciest desert I have ever made! I am going to have to step up my game next year for the Lauren and Jerod private Christmas (Jerod cooks dinner, I fix desert, we open presents...I love it)
