Where is the love for this blog?  I know I haven’t been to loving to the Handstands Across America blog lately, but I haven’t been traveling anywhere new lately.  We do have some handstands coming up in San Antonio, Texas soon so watch out for those.  Also, Saturday is a 12 of 12!

You read that right… Exotic Carwash. We dropped off Kristens roommate to go hang out in Greensboro with her brother, and this is their drop off spot. The brother called. "I’ve been here forever, where are you!" "We’re 2 exits away" "Well hurry up, I feel like I’m going to get mugged."

Kristen’s Car is perfectly at 124,000 miles at the gas station. Lucky number of the day.

I mostly spent the day cleaning, and hanging out. It was a nice and sunny day, although it was slightly chilly at the same time. My cell phone failed on me and the pictures I did take didn’t save correctly. This means no picture from playing tennis around noon, and no picture of Dan I jamming around after dinner. In any case, here is my official 12 of 12 for April. It was created using a new php script I just wrote!


10:10am | Breakfast [Flickr]
Mom was so nice to have made breakfast and left it for us lazy kids who slept in!


11:17am | Dad and “Kitty” [Flickr]
They have a understanding.


1:16pm | A well used piece of plastic. [Flickr]
I attempted to organize my electronics using this dresser because I have them scattered all over the place!


3:37pm | Grapes, a healthy snack. [Flickr]


4:35pm | Catnap [Flickr]
It definitely seemed like this would be a good idea, but I never got a chance to take one.


4:50pm | Dirty Car? [Flickr]
Today was overall cleaning day, and car cleaning was not left out.


7:27pm | Sunday Potluck [Flickr]
The food is always delicious and bountiful. It is always a highlight of the week :-)


7:29pm | Running away from the camera [Flickr]
“J” wanted to run away from the camera, and thoroughly like this game. He didn’t like the idea not being able to play with the camera himself though.


7:32pm | Dan and Conor [Flickr]
They are always up to something.


8:17pm | Light games [Flickr]
Dan shows his perfected skills of light painting after dinner.


8:24pm | “Kids” [Flickr]
Here are most all of the kids of the Sunday potlucks. Lots of fun.


10:08pm | On the Bluetooth for a late call [Flickr]
I found my Bluetooth headset today while cleaning and put it to go use!

I didn’t keep track of exact times the pictures were taken… Not really important I suppose, because I’m making this a “12 on 12″.

Zach and I worked together ALL morning on Project Schedules

Went for a Business lunch in his pimped out KIA

Panera was Delicious. Got the Smokehouse Turkey Panini and a Asian Sesame Chicken Salad

Jared went running in the office in the afternoon

Monkeys and monsters were held captive at my desk for the day, thanks to the previous tenant

Chick-fil-a for dinner on the way out of Christiansburg

Driving my boat full of my bed and many other things (cause I’m moving soon!)

I-74 and I-77 Junction (I chose I-77)

Mountain Dew to the rescue for the 270 mile drive

Driving on I-485 (which apparently not a road, even on google maps right now)

Welcome to South Carolina, wee!

I have made it, time to move in with my dresser and backpack!

Successful day. “12 on 12″. Done.

Don’t forget to check out Brian’s and Mike’s… They probably did theirs too! (or will post tomorrow)

]]> http://www.handstandsacrossamerica.com/blog/2009/03/12/march-12-of-12/feed/ 3 February 2009 – 12 of 12 (but took my time getting it posted) http://www.handstandsacrossamerica.com/blog/2009/02/20/12-of-12-but-took-my-time-getting-it-posted/ http://www.handstandsacrossamerica.com/blog/2009/02/20/12-of-12-but-took-my-time-getting-it-posted/#comments Fri, 20 Feb 2009 14:28:00 +0000 Sam E. http://www.handstandsacrossamerica.com/wordpress/?p=156 So “12 of 12″ is a creepy thing where someone takes 12 pictures throughout the day, on the 12th day of the month, in order to share what happens from their point of view. It’s kind of like real world, on the local cable access station… Anyways, I know I find it amusing to check out others, so hopefully you’ll be amused as well. Here are 2 people I know that did one as well…

Uri’s 12 of 12
Mike’s 12 of 12

And here is mine:

(1)6:30am, Wake up, put on your red socks because they are comfortable and you work from home.

(2)7:15am, Avoid the “traffic jams” in the bathroom.

(3)10:00am, Working is hard when you have 68 degree weather in February just outside that window.

(4)12:15pm Get out for lunch, go to Wal-Mart, buy some Eggplant, Onions, Potatoes, Tomatoes… Going to make curried eggplant for the first time

(5)3pm, Keep on workin.

(6)5pm, Chop them up!

(7) 6pm, “Pilates” with Kristen. It definitely works your abs… don’t laugh until you’ve tried.

(8) 6:30pm, Finally cooking up some Potatoes and Onion.

(9)6:45pm, Really, I am cooking!

(10)7:20pm, enjoying a Sierra Nevada with dinner.

(11)Dessert thanks to Kristen.

(12)9pm-11pm, Do not disturb them when Grey’s anatomy is on, if you want to walk out alive!

Final Thoughts:
Man, that cookie was good!
