Day 30, and this means my Post A Day challenge has finally come to an end. I did a lot better than I thought I would: 25 out of 30 posts! I've posted my thoughts, feelings, and rodeo roundup of the challenge. It was certainly a challenge to post every day. I work a full time job, and when I get home, I'm not always wide eyed, bushy tailed, and full of creativity. There's also the fact that I have other things I need to get done--that is not to say that I don't like blogging! I do. I enjoy it! Tripping Over Hurdles The initial hurdle for me was to find things to write about. If you go back to the beginning of the month, you'll see that I was using writing/blogging prompts. As the days went on, and the more I posted, I found that it was easier to come up with things on my own. The second hurdle was actually posting every day.  When the creativity wasn't there, I  had to fight the lazy urges within. On those days, I tended to post a lot of pictures and,...

Day 28 of my Post A Day challenge! I was gone all day yesterday (literally), so I knew any attempts at blogging something interesting were futile. There was a ferocious wasp trying to fly through a glass window at the cafe I was writing at, but that's about as exciting as my day got. Scratch that: I got four small canvases for the price of one and a free cookie. Now that makes three exciting things! Earth Rise over the Moon Taken by Apollo 8 crewmember Bill Anders on December 24, 1968 The awesome image (one of my favorites of all time, I might add) has nothing to do with yesterday or today. I just needed an image, and why not?  Day 28: What are you drinking? I'm drinking an Arnold Palmer (also known as "Half & Half"). And nope, it is not an alcoholic beverage. It's iced tea and lemonade. That's it. Next to coffee and water, this ranks next on my most frequently enjoyed beverages list.  

Day 26 of my Post-A-Day challenge. I didn't work on any Christmas gifts, but I did finish the accessories to my Attack on Titan Halloween costume. It will be complete once the cloak comes in. There will be pictures, of course. I'm thrilled about this costume! Now I just need to ask my bosses to make sure I am scheduled to work that day, ha ha! I didn't do much other than that today. You  need a good lazy day every once in a while. And for the actual prompt... Day 26: Post something wacky.  Nyan Cat  Elders react to Nyan Cat

Day 25 of my Post-A-Day challenge! What do you do on your day off when it is constantly raining? If you're me, you paint and draw. I must say that today was pretty awesome. It's a shame the painting is a Christmas present because I am dying to share it! I went out of my comfort zone, and I'm really happy with it. Yes, I am starting my Christmas gifts in September. As much as I loathe seeing Christmas decorations, I am making the gifts asap (the gifts themselves aren't draped in reds, greens, Santas, or all things Christmas, so it's okay!). Major Pierson This is the one thing I can show you. I'm going to do a digital version just as I did for Elly. Major Pierson is the other lead character, so it's time he gets some of the spotlight. He is deep in thought. Poor guy. He inherited a mess! I haven't decided what I'm going to do tomorrow. It's a toss up between working on Christmas gifts or writing...but I will get plenty of writing in on...
