Four inches of snow likely isn't a lot to many people, as they regularly see more than that every winter. However, the intensity that the snow was falling from the clouds this afternoon made the streets very trecherous. My company let everybody leave at 3:00, which is nice, since I didn't get home until 4:45.

As I was sweeping off my car and waiting for it to warm up, I grabbed my camera and snapped some shots from the top of the parking garage. There is a lot of interesting architecture downtown.

Perhaps later in my 365 project, when it's a little warmer out, I'll wander around downtown and get some more creative shots.

Today, I leave you with an image of building tops and a soft layer of snow.

I want to redo our bathroom, eventually, when we're no longer underwater on our house. I didn't realize how rusted out the drain was, until I focused on it.

I think I've mentioned it before, but my kids have been sick for the past week. I've given more baths in the past five days than probably the entire month leading up to this evil stomach bug.

I am ready to kiss this nasty mess good-bye and I hope none of you have the misfortune of encountering it.

I took my camera to work again today, but still didn't find the time to go out during my lunch. It's too daggone cold for me to get super brave, but I keep looking at area's I'd like to stop and photograph. It just seems I never have the time.

It's snowed quite a bit this week. This picture was captured on my way home from work.Stopped at a gas station, saw the light shining through the snowflakes, directly over the apartment building behind it, and pulled out my camera.

Slowly but surely, I'm starting to feel less self conscious about just pulling my camera out. Hopefully by day 365, I wont worry that people think I'm weird for taking pictures of random things.

It's barely winter, and I'm already ready for summer. Snow and winter wouldn't be so bad, if it were 90 degrees or so.

Today we got about a half inch of snow. We're supposed to get another 1-4 inches on Thursday.

Again, I had another idea for a photo, took my camera to work today and everything, but my daughter is still sick so I left early and took her to the doctor, so I didn't get to explore downtown in the snow.

I took this picture shortly after midnight, then decided I'd rather have the shot from in front of the scale instead of above it. I waited until I had great lighting this afternoon, took the picture I wanted, and discovered I have ugly feet.

I still want the picture I had in mind when I took this shot. Maybe I'll rehab my feet for the next couple of weeks and try again later this month?

It was supposed to be a depiction of how I don't believe in New Years resolutions, but instead ended up with this...a commentary on how I hate my weight.

Day two of 365...I saw the snow start to fall just before I went to bed last night. We woke up this morning to a thin coating of fresh snow over everything. The sun was up too, with sparse cloud cover, so the snow had that sparkle to it.

I couldn't get exactly the shot I wanted, but I did manage to capture some of the sparkle, as well as a little bit of a flare from the sun.

I don't know if I'll actually stick to a 365 project, but I happened to come across a group for 365 projects on Flickr and thought I'd give it a shot.

This is not the greatest picture, since I decided around 11:30 PM that I was going to start a 365 project on January 1, and needed something quick to fill slot 1 of 365.

I swear, we cleaned our living room no less than 20 times throughout the day today, both my husband and I being home with the kids. And yet, when they went to bed, I was still left with a pile of toys in the middle of the floor, and I haven't had the energy to get up and put them away, knowing full well that they will be dragged out again tomorrow.

So today, this picture epitomizes my life, and the stress that I've felt all day.
