31 days in january

i've been trying to take at least a picture a day, but a lot of the time it ends up being more, like 2 or 3 so some days are hard to choose just one picture.  i know a lot of you that read my blog have already seen all of these pictures, but, oh well...

the hunger games

i would rate this series a must read.  after i started reading them, i couldn't stop.  i think i read all three in a week - which is saying something for me.  i started reading hunger games on a thrusday i think, started catching fire on a saturday - had to go pick up mockingjay before sunday rolled around because i knew i would finish cathcing fire on sunday and finished mockingjay by wednesday.  i would have probably finished earlier if i didn't have to go to work!  i forced myself to leave the books home... LOVED these books!  i only wish there were more... 

i have to admit that i made hunger game references during my staff meeting the other day... i got called a nerd haha :)

instagram

one of my favorite things about my iPhone - besides it doing things i want it to do without all the delay like my android eris - is instagram!  i heart instagram.  i can see why it was nominated the top app of the year or whatever.  anyway.  i love it.

my november photo challenge was done on instagram so you've seen the pictures before and you've seen them on facebook too.  

also, i love pinterest like everyone else. so many good ideas that i feel were already there but just needed some coaxing, right?  haha.  jk.
you may have seen a few of these already.
