12 of 12: February 2008

Here's my 12 of 12 for February 2008. And thanks to Chad for the idea!

(and thanks to my mom who calls to remind me on the 11th of each month. :)

It's a pretty heavy Sadie-based day. But what else is there to take a photo of at 2:30 in the morning? (well, besides the clock)


2:53am: Since Miss Sadie got an earlier-than-normal walk last night, she woke me up extra early to go out. Not wanting to let her think that she has the option of going inside, I pull myself out of bed and get her outside. Now I know to make sure she gets a walk after 8pm no matter if she's already asleep or not. She wakes me up? I can wake her up.


3:22am: I'm still awake. And it smells strongly of chorizo in my apartment. The downstairs neighbor (who works nights) must be cooking. Sadie's checking out the action on the street. There's not much.

6:18am: The alarm goes off. It's too early for both of us after our middle-of-the night "adventure"


8:03am: At work, looking back at the bridge I just crossed by my office. It's very near the commuter train station so there are always tons of people crossing it.


8:14am: My desk, ready for another day of work. Toast and water for breakfast while checking out the Oscar nominees to see what movies I need to catch before the broadcast. I'm woefully behind.


9:58am: I just created my Oragami-a-day piece for the 12th. Um...it's kind of lame. You can see the "puppy card" in the background from sometime in January.


12:22pm: Lunch.

2:36pm: It's snowing. AGAIN. I'm over winter and the snow/melt/snow/ice/snow thing that Chicago's got going on right now.


3:08pm: Posting some photos from the auto show. Bob and I took a day off of work yesterday and went to check out the show. Fun!

5:46pm: On the way home from work on the el. It's a little more empty than normal.

7:13pm: Played a scratch-off ticket to see if I could win thousands of $$. Alas. Nothing.


9:09pm: Bob's pissed. Sorry man but the biggest guys will NOT always win.


There you go! We got another 3 inches or so of snow so my evening was spent mostly under the covers watching TV. This doesn't lead to the most interesting 12 of 12 (especially on a workday!) . Check out other people's days here.

Aww! Sadie is so pretty. And what desk are you sitting at these days? :) mmm. toast. I am also woefully behind on the Oscar films.

Oh those middle of the night wake ups. Mine aren't dog-related, more a "I lay down/under the duvet while feeling even remotely tired, fell asleep and woke up X hours late at 2 or 3am, better brush my teeth, get into my jammies, check the door's locked... damn, do I have to get out of my warm bed and into the cold... back to bed, now I'm awake."

Which was a long, rambly way of commiserating with you ;-) But your furry excuse is much cuter than my stupid falling asleep habit!
