Photo-a-day 2016: Week 4 Wrap-up

Photo-a-day fatigue is setting in, y'all. I still haven't missed a day but this week was a struggle. There were several days where I just did. not. want to take a picture. I still managed to rally and come up with something, but I'm hoping it was just an off week and that I can rally again soon.

Quick stats:

Cat pics this week: 2
Cat pics this year: 9

Most likes this week: January 28, "Smile" with 29 likes. So close to taking the top spot!

Photo-a-day 2016: Week 3 Wrap-up

Still haven't missed a day. This might be the farthest I have ever made it into a photo-a-day challenge without forgetting to take a picture.

Cat pics this year: 7 (so, basically, 1/3 of all my pictures have been of my cat)

Most likes this week: January 16 "Chair" with 21 likes

Best thing I got in the mail this week. I bought them on Amazon if you also need some hedgehog dryer buddies in your life. #fms_mail #fmsphotoaday #littlemomentsapp #mkcphotoaday2016

Photo-a-day 2016: Week 2 Wrap-up

Two weeks in and I still haven't missed a day. I don't expect it to last.

Quick stats:
Cat pics this week: 1
Total so far: 5
Most likes this week: Jan 14th "Close-up" with 30 likes.
Most likes this year: "Close-up" has the most likes so far this year. I'm a little surprised this got as many likes as it did, because it was one of those last minute, "ugh I forgot to take a picture today..." pictures.
Fewest likes this week: Jan 11 "Outdoors" with 10 likes.
Fewest likes this year: Jan 2 "What I did today" with 8 likes.

January 10 | Lucky

I got this birthstone ring as a gift from my grandmother when I was in high school. I wore it every day for fifteen years. Last month I took it off while I was cleaning and lost it. I thought it was gone forever, but today I spotted it under the vanity in my bedroom! I'm guessing some kitty who shall remain nameless knocked it on to the floor. I'm so glad to have my ring back! I feel like it's my lucky day! #fms_lucky #fmsphotoaday #littlemomentsapp #mkcphotoaday2016

Photo-a-day 2016: Week 1 wrap-up

Seeing as how I've had trouble in the past sticking to monthly photo-a-day projects, I decided to do the most logical thing. Trying to keep up with a photo-a-day project for ALL of 2016. It's definitely going to work out and no way that I'll get bored after a couple weeks and stop (or just straight-up forget).

Stats:
Number of cat pictures: 4
Most likes: Jan. 5th "Leaves" with 21 likes. I'm only going by likes on Instagram, since I don't share all of my p-a-d pictures to facebook or the FMS photo-a-day group. If I was counting likes on all social media sites, Jan 7th "Reading" would be the winner BY FAR, since it currently has 19 likes on instagram, 39 likes as my facebook profile picture, and a whopping 335 likes on the FMS photo-a-day group.

January 2 | What I did today

What I did today: sick day in bed snuggling with the cat. Also watched the last episodes of Parenthood so that Kleenex box is completely empty. 😭 #fms_widt #fmsphotoaday #littlemomentsapp #mkcphotoaday2016

January 3 | Water

3. Water, as in water vapor. I'm kicking off 2016 with one helluva cold, so I broke out my trusty humidifier. Which is shaped like an elephant, because I'm a real grown-up with grown-up appliances. #fms_water #fmsphotoaday #littlemomentsapp #mkcphotoaday2016

January 6 | Something blue

Something blue (and purple and some other colors too): these granny squares I've been making while learning to crochet. After I had already made a couple dozen I realized these colors don't go with ANYTHING in my apartment. #fms_blue #fmsphotoaday #littlemomentsapp #mkcphotoaday2016 #crochet #grannysquare
