April 6 - "Lunch"



As evidenced by the open netbook in the background, I was unaware of today's topic beforehand. Otherwise I would've tried to make lunch something fancier than some southwest eggrolls from Lean Cuisine and a can of Sierra Mist Cranberry (aka: Holiday Hawk) leftover from 4 months ago. Oh well.

April 5 - "Tiny"



This tiny bit of copper pipe probably would've cost a couple hundred dollars to have replaced. Luckily, we've continued to renew our home warranty for our first couple years of home ownership - so today it "only" cost our $75 deductible.

The man in me believes that I should have been able to effect such a simple repair on my own. But then I remember what my dad says every time I ask if I can change the oil in my car at his shop: "I'll change your oil, you can start the IV's." The Home Depot mindset today has everyone believing that they can do any repair they put their mind to. But if everyone does all their own home repairs, how are the skilled craftsmen and repairmen supposed to make a living? I suppose we could argue for hours on both sides. But as for me, I have leak free plumbing once again with relatively little pain in the pocket and now I still have the rest of the day ahead of me. God bless you, kind plumber.

April 4 - "Someone Who Makes You Happy"



This is kind of cheating, because this photo has already been on Facebook for several weeks. But it's such a good one! It deserves more play.

April 3rd - "Mail"



Upon first glance, this might seem pretty unremarkable. The fantastic part about this image, however, is that this pile of mail arrived at my home today and is addressed to various former residents of same. I wish there was some sort of moratorium on mail delivery after a certain period of time has passed since you've lived at a given address. Because we've lived here for 2 years and we're still getting mail for the couple that originally lived in this house but moved out some 10 years ago. Seriously.

April 2nd - "Colour"



Today's colour is: green! I mean, it's spring, right? I love the infusion of green at this time of year - though as an allergy sufferer (particularly as a result of tree pollen) it's often a miserable time. Thankfully, there is Zyrtec. (PS: Bonus points if you can identify this greenery.)

April 1st - "Your Reflection"



Initially I thought to go take my picture in a puddle from the weekend rain. Alas, the spring sun of the past two days has dried up all of the puddles in my immediate area. So, instead, I went with the time tested "reflection of a reflection" shot. This configuration of mirrors is what I use every Friday to cut my hair. Aren't you glad you know that?

I was just criticizing myself for not really posting anything fun and/or worthwhile on my blog for a while when I saw this on the wonderful blog of Ms. Emma Orbin:




Now this is something I can get behind (if only because my anglophile side loves the spelling of "colour") and can fill up my blog for the next several days to boot!

Hopefully I actually be good about doing it each day. Here's to creativity!
