12 of 12 - Thursdays Are the New Mondays
I am starting to loathe Thursdays. They are excessively busy at The Coal Mine®. You'll notice a huge chunk of time between picture three and four. That was just when I was working NON-STOP.
05:05
Essentials for the gym: membership card, iPod and cap to hide scary bed hair.
07:04
My useless wine rack. I rarely buy wine. When I do, it's usually in a box (Hello Target Wine Cube!) or down my gullet, so I store cat food and bottled iced tea in it.
10:00
I love yogurt.
17:35
They had cake for birthdays/anniversaries today. I had another yogurt instead.
17:52
Publishing. Still. Ugh.
18:06
I asked Mary if I could take her picture but she said no. So I took a picture of her Kleenex instead.
What can I say... I was super tired.
19:41
I wish my camera took better night shots so you could see my lonely car in the empty parking lot.
20:03
Three cheers for being insured again.

I was reading blogs while eating my salad and saw that Keith at fredflare.com did 12 of 12 this month. Awesome!
I was going to totally chuck the whole 12 of 12 thing this month because I am soooooo exhausted from the day, but when I saw this I decided to press on.
20:26
Elliott's post-dinner coma. He's been responding well to his new food, however I still Dexterize the bed when I leave for work in case he decides to hurl.
20:31
Last month, I realized I've live here for a year and still haven't hung any pictures. Mostly because I'm not sure how to put nails into concrete, but also because well... I'm kinda lazy. Case in point: I just hung pictures on existing nails no matter where they were.
21:08
I got this awesome Pac-Man hoodie from fredflare. Pretty rad, huh?
I just checked the calendar to see what day the 12th is next month.
Thursday.
Crap.
Comments
"Dexterize." Love it! I'm going to start using that term on the few occasions that it proves useful (mostly when doing renovations or carving up bodies).
I hate 12s on workdays, too. Only so many "here's another shot at my desk" photos one can display ...

I love the kleenex "alternative" shot.
The pictures on the wall are placed pretty nicely.
Good to hear that you're settling into your new job, even though they are working you hard.
P.S. I may need to tap you for a short question/answer interview for my website design class if you'd be so willing.

Awwww, look at you, you look cute as a button in that hoodie, and a little bit street-thug to boot!
PS, when I come to live with you we're selling the Hyundai and getting a Camaro, okay?

A few things:
This month and next month - the days of the month fall on the same days of the week.
To hang photos on a concrete wall, buy those 3M picture hangers that use that magic tape. They have them that come specifically for pictures (double sided Velcro) and they work like a charm. All my photos are hung with them (for ease of rearranging when needed).

I gather you have a new job then? Yay! Love the Elliot pic :D
And yeah, I'm wondering about next month's 12 too!

Dammit, think my first comment got consumed.
But I think I said...That hoodie is absolutely amazing, I love it.
Three cheers for insurance and being employed again Brian.

I too loathe Thursdays and have for the past 2 years.
Best cat food ever in your pantry - highly recommend Natural Balance to anyone who has a cat with pooping problems.
I take full credit for the kleenex shot - Im challenging your creativity by not allowing you to photograph me.
My sister loves your cat.

I'm behind on things so....
#1) The Coal Mine (R) HA! Glad you're gainfully employed and insured but you're back in "THE BIZ"
#2) Hoodie rocks
#3)Totally was going to suggest the 3M picture hangers!
#4) Poor Elliot - it's hard when our babies don't feel good . . .
#5) LOOK AT YOU gym at 5am - yogurt instead of bday cake! I need a few phone prompts at 5am to get my sorry bootie to pump up a bit!!
