Work

Today was extremely busy at work today. Along with the 40 or so new cases we set up and the 50 or so collection kits we sent out, we received samples for 74 cases today! I didn't think we would ever get it finished. And, if we had been able to connect to the server at HSBC today, we would have also had 13 UK cases to make, but those will have to wait until tomorrow. I LOVE Mondays!!!
In my last post I talked a little bit about Flickr and that I was thinking about joining a group. Well, I did......let me tell you how it came about. I had browsed some of the 365 groups. Those are the ones where you take a picture each day for 365 days. There are all kinds......some are self-portraits, some are of kids and some are objects. Yesterday was such a beautiful day that I had to get outside despite the headache. I first replaced the rope and flag in the front yard and then I grabbed the camera and started taking pictures. I came across a pink, spiky ball lying in the grass. It looked interesting to me, so I took a picture of it. Later, while downloading them I thought about the "One Object 365 Days Project". In this group you must take a picture every day for 365 days, and each picture must contain the sme object......the Ball! So, I joined the group and as of now, have submitted my first two photos. You can tell by the frequency (or lack of) of this blog that I'm very good at starting things, but not so good at sticking with them. So, I think this will be a very good exercise for me......and will push me to think more creatively. And, hopefully I'll learn more about photography along the way.
Well, it's almost 10 o'clock and I need to get Morgan into bed. She's been working on her diorama for her report that's due Wednesday. She found a way to make a report about the invention of chewing gum into a diorama. She's going to show how the resin is taken from the spruce tree sap to the factory to be made into chewing gum. And, write a report about the person who invented it and how it's made. Here is her progress so far:
