photo friday: la promenade plantee
As I left Bercy Village and walked back through the park, my destination was the Promenade Plantee, the original Highline. I had stumbled across it once before in my travels to France, but decided that I would try to walk most of it this time. I found the beginning with a little help from my

Today is Drink Wine Day and National Battery Day. Up early to work, clean, and take care of things. After my conference call, Camille and I went to lunch at Green Ginger. In the afternoon, I worked on my projects, then made dinner. We watched the Shadowhunters movie in the evening. #BestDayEver #day0144
college search: first pass of research
Last spring, in Camille’s sophomore year, we attended our first college fair when Colleges That Change Lives came to Atlanta. We like the idea of the organization, but Camille’s desire to attend an urban school quickly crosses many of the schools off of her list. Last summer, the summer between Camille’s sophmore and junior years,

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day and National Cafe Au Lait Day and My Way Day. I was tired from all our running around and slept in a little before pushing the girls to help me get the house picked up. I worked for a while, then Camille and I walked down to Agnes
happiness project monthly breakdown: house (mar)
March is the “House” month in my Happiness Project: 2014 and 2015. As there are no “overreaching” projects that I want to tackle for the house, March is when I update my “house project” planning list. I had more projects in the past years as I was still working on the original “decorating” of our

Today is National Almond Day. I got up early to take care of my projects. Just after I woke Camille, an email came in that our tour was delayed an hour due to the weather. Camille enjoyed the extra rest, and I got ahead on various things! We managed to get out of the hotel
college search: the overview
I realized today that amongst all the other projects I’ve been working on — photography, work, knitting, happiness, and so on — one thing that is taking up a good bit of my time these days is the search for a college for Camille. I am quite sure our approach is different than that of

Today is National Gumdrop Day. Woke up to a winter wonderland! Salem College closed for the day, but our visit was still on! We had breakfast at the hotel, then walked in the snow up to Salem for a “Scholarship weekend” session given by an English major. Slid back to the hotel to pack up,

Today is Valentineโs Day. I managed to sleep in a little, and now feel caught up at work, at home, and with sleep. During the morning, I did laundry, cleaned, took care of projects, and packed. Rob went out to get bagels for breakfast. Camille sorted notes and packed. Flannery came over to hang out

I love taking photos of lines of benches!

Today is National Tortellini Day. Up early to walk the dog, clean, and get a bunch of things done. At 9:30, Camille and I headed out to Locust Grove. We took backroads because of traffic on the highway, and only made a couple of wrong turns. We got to the high school in plenty of
around atlanta: the whistle stop cafe
When planning our Saturday around Camille’s GHP interview in Locust Grove, we decided to visit some colleges near Macon. When I noticed that The Whistle Stop Cafe was between Locust Grove and Macon, I just knew we had to go and have some Fried Green Tomatoes … at last!

photo friday: bercy village and park
Once I crossed the Seine while on my Saturday morning walk in Paris, I entered the Parc de Bercy. There were only a few people out and about, and I found empty tree-lined paths to wander along. Eventually, I reached Bercy Village where many of the arcades were a gallery of “Parisianer” covers. I stopped

Today is National Peppermint Patty Day and Donโt Cry Over Spilled Milk Day. Up at 4:30 and couldn’t sleep. Got busy with my tasks and work. Chloe wasn’t feeling well and had to wear a dress to go to the symphony, so I agreed to drive her (and Camille) to school. Insane. She can walk
knitting lessons: week 1
Now that my Photo 2 class has wrapped up, I’ve taken on a new CREATE project, knitting. I’ve started to knit multiple times in the past, but have never taken a class nor a lesson. I decided that if I *really* want to learn, I need to do something a little more formal. So I

Today is National Cream Cheese Brownie Day and Umbrella Day. What a great day! I got up early to take care of the usual things, but I decided to make it an “at home” day. I worked, started organizing old files, cleaned, knit, cooked, read. Chloe’s lacrosse was canceled, so I took her to flute
happiness project monthly breakdown: appearance (feb)
When I first started the monthly breakdown, Social Networking was assigned to the month of February. After a year of Simplifying, I was able to combine Social Networks and “Friends and Family” into one month, January. So I had February free. I decided to assign a new topic, Appearance, to February. As I’ve mentioned before,
