As of today’s photo, I’m officially at the halfway point of Project 365. I have taken 183 photos and have 182 more to go. Even though there are days when I’m not feeling creative and I’m at a loss for photo ideas, I’m really glad I joined the project. It’s been really fun to look through the past 183 days’ photos, especially since this past year has been all about change for me. Aside from documenting the mundane details of my life, the project has been a really fun way to connect with other people (most of whom I don’t know in real life).
If I ever have kids, this is the sort of thing I’d love to share with them (“there was a time when I was young and had way too much time on my hands . . . “). Then again, I do show my nieces my flickr photos — they usually request photos of OJ & Mulder (since OJ permanently hides under the bed when they’re around, seeing OJ on flickr is usually the closest they ever get to him).
I’m leaving this weekend to spend a week in Boston hanging out with my sister. My parents are also planning on being there for a few days so I’ll get to see them, too. I’m pretty excited because I haven’t seen my family since February and I’ve never been to Boston before. In an effort to take a break from the Internets and maximize my vacation and family time, I’m planning on not taking either of my laptops with me (gulp, we’ll see how long I stick with that decision). I don’t really know much about Boston other than MIT & Harvard are nearby and seem like appropriately nerdy places to visit while I’m in town. So if you’ve been to Boston, what should I do next week?
Today is my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary! I’m so happy for them and thankful to have had such great parents in my life. I can’t imagine doing anything for 40 years, let alone keeping a marriage together through life’s ups and downs. Here’s to my parents!
