April Photo-A-Day

Welcome April!!!  Over at Courtney's blog, she has set forth a challenge!  It has nothing to do with giving up t.v. or training for a 5k, so I'm in!  The challenge is to take a photo of something specific everyday and either blog, tweet, or instagram it.  Since I don't know how to Twitter or take old timey looking pics with a phone that's smarter than I am, blogging it is!  Here's the list of picture prompts:
Check out Fat Mum Slim's blog for a good read, too!

This challenge is appealing because it's all about taking pictures and I love the opportunity to use and keep learning about my new camera.  The first day is my reflection:
I will not take a picture of myself in a mirror.  I just can't.  Should I smile?  Make a silly face?  Pretend I'm not aware of the camera that I'm holding?  I'm not a good subject matter for photography...but I do LOVE my coffee!  Forever and ever, I have used those coffee singles (ya know, they look like tea bags).  Yes, I am aware that most coffee drinkers consider this to be swill and not acknowledge it as a real beverage.  Then, when we started Trey's many, many trips to the hospital, I fell in love with the cinnamon coffee sold at the hospital cafeteria and snack shop.  Because Jay loves me so, he started buying me real cinnamon coffee so I can enjoy it outside the confines of Children's Hospital.  Granted, I had to dig out the coffee maker we received as a wedding gift (12+ years ago) and learn how to measure proper scoops, but I love it!  Yum!  So there's my reflection.  There's still time for you to jump in on this challenge!!!
