My 41st “12 of 12”!

The 12 of 12 Challenge was created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then linked back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 links in December of 2011, but passed the torch to someone else who sadly hasn’t been keeping up with it. So as always, I’m giving my shout-out to Blobby of Blobby’s Blog as he is the one who inspired me to do it. And still does.

All pictures were taken with my iPhone 6.

Pic a Day in May: May 12, 2015

It’s a little cool here this evening. And apparently milli wanted a lap to sit in.

Lap warmer...
Lap warmer…

Jim, formerly of Jim’s Stuff, started the “Pic a Day in May” challenge three years ago. I’ve done it each year, and will continue since that’s all I pretty much post these days. The only other bloggers that I’m aware of who are also doing this are Blobby of Blobby’s Blog and Patrick of Pac’s Pad.

Until next time...

Remember when I actually used to write words on this blog instead of just post pictures? Maybe I’ve run out of things to say. Or ways to say them. But at least I have pictures.

My 39th “12 of 12”. It’s Thursday.

The 12 of 12 Challenge was created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then linked back to him and vice versa.

So as always, I’m giving my shout-out to Blobby of Blobby’s Blog as he is the one who inspired me to do it. And still does.

All pictures were taken with my iPhone 5.

12:02 AM: Still awake. Kind of. On the couch. I've been in and out of consciousness all day after having a molar cut out. Luckily I've had "Keeping Up Appearances" to keep me... amused.

10:53 PM: I should be doing some drawing, but instead I'm playing with some CSS for my website. It's probably a little safer, as the Vicodin has started to kick in finally. And I get less creative when I'm inebriated. Luckily the Bucket's are keeping me company.
