A Failed Stay-Cation?

When we go away on vacation nothing gets done at our house, right?

So why do we expect a “stay-cation” to be any different?
My last day at work was December 24, 2014. I had big plans. I would clean out the garage, organize a closet or two, and maybe even build a path in the backyard!
Did I do any of it? NO!
What did I do on my 11 day stay-cation? I rested, Tina and I went to several movies, I napped, I took down the outdoor Christmas lights, I did a little binge watching of Raising Hope (don’t judge me, I love that twisted humor!), worked out a bit, hung out with friends, relaxed, ate, played cards, tested multiple desserts, went on photo taking journeys and took another nap (or 2).
What I did not do….clean out the garage, organize a closet and I did not do any yard work!
So where is the guilt? Why do I feel like I should’ve worked on my stay-cation? We go away on vacation and obviously we can’t do any of the chores at home…so why stress about them during a stay-cation?
I can’t lie…it was absolutely fantastic not having to abide by a schedule. My bedtime quickly switched to 2:00AM. No alarm was set to wake me and I squeezed in multiple naps…no guilt here, just a well rested individual that enjoyed 11 days of lazy!
So today I returned to work…jumped on the treadmill that always moves a bit faster than my feat….and started off my new year a week or two behind…so I guess its a good thing I love my job and its a good thing I took plenty of naps…here is to a new year!!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Industrial

Abandon Warehouse

Train Industrial

Factory edit practice

This week’s Fun Foto Challenge is to photograph industrial sites. It was the excuse I’ve been looking for to head downtown and photograph an old abandon warehouse I’ve eyed for as long as I’ve lived in Fort Worth. The first two photos are of that building.

365 Days of Photos – Day 1

This picture was the first picture taken by me in 2015. It was taken at 2:08 AM on      January 1, 2015.                                                                                                                                   We arrived home from a New Year’s Eve get-together and as a normal occurrence in our household the dogs were let out to do their business. Unfortunately it had been raining and many muddy paws re-entered the house and jumped on the bed. This resulted in a changing of the sheets. But a very playful and silly dog wanted to play instead of letting us make the bed. And that resulted in a picture of a silly dog playing tent under the pink sheets!
