My Black Friday Purchase Arrived (330/366)

TIME:  10:13 PM
PLACE:  Kitchen
SUBJECT:  The Walking Dead Season 1 & 2 DVDs

I will admit going to Target on Thanksgiving at 9pm.  They were supposed to have the first season of the Walking Dead on DVD for $8.  I didn’t find it.  (Also, DramaQueen needed Tootsie Rolls to hand out while she was walking in the Santa Parade the next day.)  Since they didn’t have it, I pursued Amazon.com. They had season one for $8 and the second season for $16 – so I ordered both.  Free shipping and no crowds.  That’s the way shopping should be all the time.

The Fog (326/366)

TIME:  7:27 AM
PLACE:  Looking out the window at work
SUBJECT:  The fog

*This* was fun to drive in while going to work this morning.  It didn’t burn off until after noon – then it was sunny and rather pleasant for late November.

Bleacher Steps #2 (325/366)

TIME:  7:49 PM
PLACE:  Away Basketball game
SUBJECT:  Looking down the bleacher steps

Another away basketball game tonight.  Here are their bleacher steps.  (We lost…by a lot.)

Second Sun (320/366)

TIME:  4:08 PM
PLACE:  Work parking lot
SUBJECT:  Sky

As I left work, I noticed an unusual sight in the sky.  The sun and a 2nd incandescence that you can see to the left of the photo.  Don’t know what it is, some say it is due to Chemtrails, others say it is a sign of the Nibiru Cataclysm.  Looks like we are all doomed.

Bleacher Steps #1 (318/366)

TIME:  8:36 PM
PLACE:  Away Basketball game
SUBJECT:  Looking down the bleacher steps

Away basketball game this evening.  I’ve been seeing the variations in the bleacher steps at all the different schools.  I feel a photo theme coming on.

Fall Field (317/366)

TIME:  9:53 AM
PLACE:  State St. Road
SUBJECT:  Cleared field

We are all off for Veteran’s Day, but MB still had basketball practice this morning.  After I dropped him off, I took this photo.

Permanent Marker–1, Dryer–0 (314/366)

TIME:  6:48 AM
PLACE:  Basement
SUBJECT:  Dryer

See what happens when a permanent marker makes its way through the washer and then the dryer with its cap off?  You don’t want to see the clothes that were in the load with the damned thing.  Here’s praying that the Magic Eraser lives up to its name….

Frosty (313/366)

Pastasaurus (312/366)

TIME:  5:57 PM
PLACE:  Kitchen
SUBJECT:  Spaghetti spoon

I made pasta with butter tonight.  A simple dish, just thin spaghetti with butter and parmesan cheese.  My paternal grandmother – Ignazia, but better known as Edna or “Grandma C---“ to my brothers and I - would make this for us when we would spend the night.  She always pronounced it “Basta with butter”  It was sooo good.  Sadly, I can never seem to make mine taste like hers.

Yep, I Voted (311/366)

Some of my candidates won, some did not.  In one local race that I really cared about, my choice was a winner.  I’m happy.

“C” Is For Curled Cat (310/366)

TIME:  7:08 PM
PLACE:  Desk Chair
SUBJECT:  Jack

Jack is all curled up and leaving hair on MonkeyBoy’s black suit.  MB wore it as part of his costume Halloween night and it has been sitting there, all crumped up for the past 5 days.  Dry cleaner, here we come.

Cipro (309/366)

TIME:  11:05 PM
PLACE:  Kitchen
SUBJECT:  Prescription bottle

Usually I love this day – the day I get an extra hour to get things done around the house or take a well-deserved nap.  But today?  Today, I got to spend that extra hour at a medical clinic, so they could verify my self-diagnosed UTI.  I was correct, they prescribed me an antibiotic to clear it up quickly.  What a great day.

Twins (308/366)

TIME   7:09 PM
PLACE:  Movies
SUBJECT:  Pa-pa and StellaDella

Pa-pa met up with me, StellaDella and MonkeyBoy for the 7:15 pm 3-D showing of “Wreck-It Ralph” at the downtown movie theater.

Contrail Capture (307/366)

TIME:  7:35 AM
PLACE:  Work
SUBJECT:  Looking out the window

We had a great view of the early morning contrails.  About 2 minutes after I took this photo, the automatic shades descended.  Some days, it’s all about the timing.

Good Morning November (306/366)

TIME: 7:26 AM
PLACE:  Highway 55
SUBJECT:  Sunrise

Since my office moved, my drive time has increased – it takes about 30 minutes to drive the 27 miles.  The last 12 miles of my morning commute takes me in a northeast direction.  There are some benefits to this…for example, today, I got to see this gorgeous sunrise.
