12 on the 12th--Year in Review

I successfully accomplished another year of 12 on the 12th grids, thanks to my bacon-saver Michelle who made 10 of my 12 grids because of my technology woes. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE having these snapshots of my days and feel like they capture my life (and my family's life) so well. There are so many repeat things going on, but really aren't most of our days variations of the same day anyway? I'm okay with that and am excited to participate in another year's worth of memorable grids! Check out my sister-in-law Amy's post about this idea and how to do it...you should do it too!

Some Observations
  • I'm a little preoccupied about what time I start my day.
  • I really like to read.
  • I take various kinds of pills.
  • I like to end the day with a TV show and then a book.
  • Cafe Rio is a fixture in my life.
  • Work became a bigger deal since August.


**Will you participate this year?
Did you make any other observations?

Comment Window Tidbit: I woke up on my own at 4:30 this morning! Of course I didn't get up until my alarm went off at 5:00, but still!

I always look to see what Whitney is up to with these.

How neat to have a year's worth to look back on.

I really want to do this this year. I have to get it all figured out tonight which I think I can actually do, it's the first night this week a child doesn't have to be driven somewhere.

I love Cafe Rio also. So good, I was on various kinds of pills also but I hate taking them so I quit and found a homeopathic way to fix my issues. Best thing ever.

Welcome to the 4 club Jill. It's a great hour because nobody wants it!

I think it's fun/interesting to observe the patterns that the 12 on 12 gives. If I didn't do a variation of this with my family, I would definitely do it for myself. I'm afraid twice would be overkill.

I love how every day you have a picture of yourself and those you love...family or friends. What a great way to spend your life.

Oh that's horrendous. I share your 5:00 am pain, which is bad enough. 4:00 is just not right.

It's so fun to see a whole year of those. That iron-deficient good mail package jumped out at me--ha ha, I must have not noticed it the first time you posted it in March. Glad you liked it!

I am determined to do this again this year. I did 2010, but forgot in 2011. I have been taking pictures all day today!

LOVE that Landon took a dance class! How fun and it looks like it was a BLAST!

4:30? What the?! are you becoming like your parents?

It's fun to look back on the whole year like this. I love the way you include self-portraits - I usually forget about those (plus, you know. T. Rex arms.).

Hmm, I like yours more than I ever liked mine. Ha, ha. I think I don't want to be reminded of my days...
