So like I mentioned in the previous post, I have been terrible, just TERRIBLE at my Project 365 this month. I mostly blame (besides myself) NaNoWriMo, which I’m using as an excuse for everything else I’m behind on (particularly cleaning). But for what it’s worth, here are some of the photos I did take:

November 14, 2009: Pumpkin Pancakes

I made these delicious Pumpkin Pancakes that I found the recipe for at This Week For Dinner. They were delicious and perfect for the season.

November 15, 2009: Penny

Just a simple shot of my dear Penny cat. She’s such a cutie.

November 17 2009: Water Spots

After a weekend of doing lots of laundry, I noticed these water spots on the ceiling. It freaked me out! So I worked from home and had a very nice maintenance man over, who told didn’t really fix anything but cautioned me from over doing it with my washer. Then he came back a few times to paint over it.

November 18 2009: Rochelle in Curly Hair Form

A self portrait, basically used to show my twitter friends about how I wore my hair curly. I can’t tell you how much I love my current haircut. It is one of the best I’ve ever had. And so for the first time ever I’m going to go back to the girl who cut it. I’ve never done that because I typically have such poor experiences.

November 19 2009: New Moon

Like I talked about in my last post, I went to the midnight show of New Moon with my sister and my friend Michelle. It was such a blast. First Twilight at 9, and then New Moon at midnight. The atmosphere was such a blast!

And that’s about it! Everything after New Moon was all about writing my NaNoWriMo novel!

Quite a day!

I woke up to a ton of snow and the news that while everything around me was closed down to the snow storm, the university was still open. Typical.

And so we rushed our way to campus to get there in time for the big staff meeting where we celebrated the implementation of our fancy new identity service (the project I had been working so hard on). While private industry folks might receive some nice bonus or big perk as a way of appreciation, little old CU just can’t put out that way. So we do the best we can, and got a bigger breakfast than usual at those staff meetings, and they made a pretty fun PowerPoint presentation. It was really light hearted and filled with the best intentions.

We returned to our offices and before we knew it, we got word that the campus would be closing at 2 p.m. Awesome. So I had a little lunch, went to a little meeting, and made my way home.

So what do you do on a partial snow day? Well, you do things like:

Eat delicious cheese and crackers…

And catch up on shows…

And take cute pictures of the cats…

And take pictures of this Halloween snow…

After all that, it pretty much became a night of watching Grey’s Anatomy (I’m almost caught up, crazy! I’m in season 5), and playing on my computer. That’s how I roll on a snow day early release.

Tonight I did some shopping after work and had to stop by PetsMart to get some cat stuff. Well I made the giant mistake of walking over to the adoption area to look at the cats. It was filled up in there of the most adorable cats. One cat in particular cried out to me. She looked just like Persephone. I basically had to leave in tears. I can’t get another cat at this point and I don’t think my own kitties would like a newbie too much. So instead, I’m just going to love them that much more.

Penny looking at me through the window. So cute!

First day back at work after the long weekend and it was one of those days. Long and complicated. I had tons of meetings and we started to prepare for our H1N1 communications. So after a long day, I came home and played on my computer. My buddy Penny was there for it. Lately, I’ve been calling her The Observer. She’s such a natural cat. Always on the look out, never truly relaxed. She finds spots that she can watch from.

Oh the stories she could tell.

Today is self-portrait today, and I actually remembered! I brought along a little guest. I’ve been wanting to get a picture of me and Persephone for a long time, and so this is it.

Me and my girl!
