days 7 & 8

day 7 - fruit.

i admit, i don't eat a lot of fruit.  it's too intimidating - i feel like it's always either not ripe enough or rotten and there's about a five second window of yumminess that i always miss.  it just doesn't seem worth the effort.  but it turns out there was a nice little surprise in my take home bag from papa's the other night - a little container of berries.  now berries i love.  especially on cold [vegan] vanilla ice cream.  and because we never seem to have bowls that are clean, i ate it out of a measuring cup.

who could resist?

day 8 - a bad habit.

plenty of these to go around but not so many that i'd publicly admit to.  this is probably the one that bothers michelle the most and it's a daily occurrence.  not only can she not stand the sound of me eating sunflower seeds (which could drive a gal crazy since i eat at least one bag a day), but i often leave little piles of shells laying all around. like a little hamster, but much less cute.  oopsie.

has to be frito lay, no david's for me.

days 5 & 6

day 5 - from a high angle.

so, i knew all day where i would be spending the evening and i knew

ahead of time the shot i wanted.  Team Amiel was heading to

Stan's Blue Note to watch the Mavs game and i thought a picture from the

upper level down onto the crowd would be perfect for this assignment.

then i forgot to take my camera.

then i got a little drunk.

then i attempted to take a picture with my camera phone.

and then, the pictures i took disappeared.

oopsie, i must have forgotten that key "save picture" step.  so, here is a picture from the past that fits the bill and is also one of my favorite pics of all time.

Bowie comma david, Costello like elvis, Doobie [brothers] and Bruce (not springsteen)

day 6 - from a low angle.

i didn't quite come up with a good strategy or have any specific ideas
for this assignment.  since i have been spending an hour every day
babysitting my brother's new puppy (who is either named chunkina or banina,
either way, cute as pie) and i was taking 1400 pictures of her already,
i snapped one while i was down on her level.
isn't she adorable?!

i don't know why some people are scared of pit bulls.  they have the cutest faces on the planet.
