Rough start

Alright so my first week of attempting a picture a day proved to be a little more difficult than I thought. Seriously, my life is so boring during the work week and I am pretty sure no one wants to see the same picture of my desk everyday. This is what I did manage to do though.

I moved one of my plants outside because it seemed to be producing something similar to a fruit fly and I wanted them to die. On Saturday, I noticed something has been chewing on it. There is no way that is a bug! Cat? Lizard? Scorpion? Small child?
On Sunday I did a little shopping at my favorite store Ross, and was able to find this little "nightstand". I have been without one since I moved and thought this was cute as well as functional for storing things!
On Monday I decided to stop by my other favorite store, Barnes and Noble to check out the bargain books. I have decided that just because you cut down on the number of bookcases you own, does not necessarily mean you cut down on the books!
On Tuesday, we had some Mardi Gras celebrations at work. Although I did not win any beads (this is my place of employment after all!), I did win this kitchen scale in a bead guessing contest! I know some people weigh there food, but I am not one of those people. Can you say re-gift?
Wednesday I really had nothing to take a photo of. I mean nothing. So I share a Vegas fact. While people in other parts of the country get things like grocery ads, department store ads etc.. in their mail, we here in Vegas get a lot of casino ads. You buy food with your money, we put ours in slot machines!
On Thursday I fell down. That's right, I fell down. In a parking lot. Full of people. At work. In front of my co-workers. A positive spin is that it's the only time I have seen anyone be nice in Vegas. People actually came over to see if I was alright! The only thing that I hurt was my pride, oh and my new pink pants!
And today I had an insurance audit at work. Now mind you I worked my BUTT off this week trying to get prepared for this thing. I am in charge of all the inpatient stuff at work so I had to go through all of the inpatient charts to make sure they are up to date and accurate. We are talking HIGH stress all week, almost to the point of wanting to quit! So I have everything ready and I meet with the woman who then proceeds to tell me, she is not really interested in the inpatient charts this time, she wants to see outpatient. What? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME? I was so mad! Here is a picture of my desk (after I organized it for the meeting), trust me, it did not look this way throughout the week!
This one is just because I took a pretty picture and need to think of something pretty (instead of the guy that stabbed himself in the lung today).
Now I am going to turn on the heating pad and rest my neck (too much time hunched over my desk this week) and arm (too much weight trying to break my fall!)

Nice Job Stace! Taking a pic a day is definitely very thought provoking. I've got my crazy kiddos and I still have a hard time finding things to take some days. I loved your pics. Keep it up!

What did you trip on? I like the tall nightstand.

i hope you're alright! why is it that you can never fall in a dark, deserted alley when no one is around? It was always a certainty for me whenever i started a new school, I HAD TO FALL, right in front of a large assembly of laughing kids :) the last time I fell at my new school though I was the old white woman that fell and I was amazed at the young people who did not laugh but came running to see if I was alright and even picked up that 100lb rolling backpack that had pulled me down and made sure it was alright :)
