52 Weeks or 365 Days

I was supposed to start this yesterday if I was going to do the 365 Days challenge, but since I already missed the first day, I think that I'll choose to do the 52 Week challenge. What's that, you say? It all depends on which direction you're approaching it from. It started out as a scrapbooking challenge -- to take one photograph each day of the year and journal about it. Then my friend Karen took it a step further and made it into a photography challenge, as well -- take seven pictures a week t0 learn about our cameras and to improve our photography skills. I'm going to meet those challenges somewhere in the middle. I definitely want to improve my photography skills, but I would also like to document a year in my life. I know, probably not the most exciting thing in the world, but as I get older, I want to enjoy more and forget less. This just might be a way to accomplish that and stay in the moment! So, It's January 2nd, 2009 and here I go ...

I changed my cell phone ring to Life Goes On by John Mellencamp and everytime my phone rings, I smile.

I decided what I was taking a picture of today -- my iPod and speakers!! I love my little pink iPod. Besides being so cute, it plays all my favorite music. Sometimes when I'm listening to it, I forget that it's not the radio and get excited that it's playing all music that I know the words to and can sing (not well, but who cares)! For Christmas, Shana and Cory got me a speaker unit that all I have to do is set the iPod in and then I can listen to the music while I work. I brought it to the office and I love it! I'm listening to Every Rose Has Its Thorns by Poison -- I LOVE that song!
