It's that time of the month again...I mean 12 of 12- what were YOU thinking? This month was a little different for me because I actually appear in a couple of my pictures. That's a switch!
9:12 am: I actually had two pictures taken at this time, and I had a hard time choosing between them. I ended up with this one because I took it to document the fact that I was wearing my favorite necklace. What I also got, however, was a great picture of cleavage! Win-win :)
10:36 am: Mid-morning snack. I like the modern conversation hearts because they are trying to be hip and keep up with the times. The flip side of that, however, is that you get pithy hearts that say "Email me." And I don't really think that "Guess what?" and "No way" are really heart-felt sentiments.
10:16 am: Sabrina and I had to travel to Lakeshore Park to meet with the folks of Knox Youth Sports. As always, we traveled in style in the customized Prius hybrid!
12:12 pm: I have some wacky co-workers, no doubt. When I told them about the project, they were determined to make sure that I had an interesting set of pictures. While I understand that the point is to document you day and not create a day to photograph, I can honestly say that these shenanigans are not really out of the ordinary! My favorite part of this picture is that the stick by KD's hand wasn't staged. It was a happy accident. It makes it look like she had a spell that back-fired!
12:14 pm: Come on, with willing participants like this, how could I NOT put them in my 12 of 12?
12:48 pm: Emily and I went for a walk on the trails, looking and listening for birds. She's only about 5 feet tall, so I got on the ground to take this picture and make her look really tall (and really high up in the tree). Did it work?
4:59 pm: The drive home. I have to head due west, so I end up staring directly into the sun almost the entire trip. Luckily, there isn't much traffic in Knoxville.
5:11 pm: The suet thief. This little guy has managed to shimmy up the pole to steal all the suet that was supposed to be for woodpeckers and blue jays. Hmph!
5:23 pm: The evidence. I had read Chad's blog earlier in the day in which he states that he hasn't seen the magazine, featuring a blog that ripped off his idea. I thought it only appropriate to photograph the evidence for incorporation into my photos for the REAL 12 of 12. In the Feb 2009 issue of Creating Keepsakes, there is a layout that features a scrapper that participates in a challenge blog called 12 of 12. I assumed it was Chad's blog until I saw that the address was NOT. The worst part is that the blog author didn't even ask Chad's permission, and it is honestly his idea. Geesh!
6:22 pm: Wayne is cooking dinner- Yay! Pasta makes me happy :)
9:16 pm: Tiny didn't make it through the entire episode of the office. Even though it was funny, he wasn't willing to forego his cat nap.
10:46: Bed time.For a look at the original project and see other twelvers, go here:

Ahhh, hammy coworkers. I rationalize it this way: you're supposed to document your day, and if people acting silly is part of your day, then it's an honest portrayal!
My partner always has to explain to everyone why I have my camera (they never ask). I think he finds it a little embarrassing that I bring it everywhere. I wonder when he's going to figure out that the only reason I bring it everywhere is because it embarrasses him ... heh heh ...
Nice 12!
What a fun-filled day! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I always read it as 12 of 12 documents your day. The things that happen, whether normal or done deliberately. After all, I would normally just have bunged a pizza in the oven say for my meal, but on 12 of 12 days I make an effort to cook, and have something interesting. I've even taken a day's annual leave, to give myself a non-workday 12 of 12, and gone touring London. So I say don't worry about it - it's still within the rules (more than other people's 12s I've sometimes seen, but hey, it's Chad's project ;-) ).
It looks like you have fun colleagues - maybe your theme could be always including a photo of them doing something wacky ;-)
I LOVE that idea...every month will now have a photo of wacky coworkers. Unless, of course, the 12th is on a week end. I guess the real gift of 12 of 12 is that I live more on those days. It keeps me from the humdrum that can settle in.
I'm glad you're doing 12 of 12 again! It's such a cool project. And I love the photo of the kestrel from last month's.
