August 12 of 12

I forgot that it was the 12th of August until part way through the day, and then I kept forgetting to take pictures. So here's bits and pieces of my day, when I remembered to take the pics. Thanks to Chad, brainchild of the 12 of 12 idea. Head over to his website to check out what everyone else did today.

Las Vegas, NV 12 noon - Filling up my rental car before I return it to the airport. I've been in Las Vegas for a week and am ready to get back home, even though it was a fun trip.

Las Vegas, NV 1:30 pm - Checking in at the airport.

Phoenix, AZ 4:45 pm - In the parking garage at the airport trying to remember where I parked my car...until I remembered that I wrote it down on the parking ticket that was in my wallet.

Phoenix, AZ 5:00 pm - On the 202. The traffic wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Phoenix, AZ 5:10 pm - Traffic wasn't bad until I got on the 101, and then it pretty much came to a stop.

Phoenix, AZ 5:20 pm - On the 101. Of course my gas light comes on while I'm driving home.

Phoenix, AZ 5:30 pm - My mail box that was stuffed after being gone for a week. There was actually a lot more mail in there than you can see in this picture.

Phoenix, AZ 7:30 pm - I didn't have anything to eat for dinner after being gone for a week so I headed out to the grocery store to find something. I thought the clouds looked really neat reflecting the color from the sunset.

Phoenix, AZ 8:30 pm - Checking up on the local news. It's pretty sad when this story is one of the featured ones on the front page of AZ Central.

Phoenix, AZ 8:30 pm - Checking baseball scores. My Red Sox won so I'm a happy fan.

Phoenix, AZ 9:00 pm - Catching up on the Olympics. I recorded 16 hours of it while I was gone so I'm fast forwarding through a lot of it and watching what I want to see the most. Gymnastics, #1 priority.

Phoenix, AZ 10:00 pm - Doing some reading and researching since I found out about a month ago that I am allergic to gluten. I'm finally over being bitter about the fact that I will no longer ever be able to eat some of the foods that I love, but I'm still trying to figure out what I can eat and how to make my favorite foods gluten free.

So there was my day. What did you do today? Join in on the 12 of 12 and let everyone know. Until next month...

  1. Ah, yes, the writing it down on the parking ticket trick. I had to learn that one after I started using my car alarm as a beacon instead. I don't think other people appreciated that very much.

    Nice 12!

  3. Good luck with the becoming gluten free, I'm sorry you'll have to miss some of your favourite foods - I hope you can find some gluten-free alternatives. I think Bonnie (another 12er in Hollywood) is allergic to gluten too, from what I recall - she might be able to point you in the direction of some ideas?
