Project 52--All Your Weight

The theme for Week 2 of Project 52 is "illustrate a song."  I read that and thought, "I got nothin'."  Not one idea came to me for the first two days.  I thought I might just have to go off theme this week.  And then inspiration hit, and it was perfect!  I ended up with an idea that works for this project and my current BodyPages work, too. Bonus!

I ended up with a series of three photos illustrating Collective Soul's song "Heavy."
 
And all your weight it falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight it falls on me
It falls on me

             

I have a complicated, angsty relationship with that old scale.  And yet I still sometimes feel the need to know my weight, so I keep the rusty, battered thing around.  Its ugliness is an unfortunately perfect complement to how I feel about my weight.  Maybe time to get a shiny new scale and a new outlook to match?

MCP Project 52--Something Around the House

I ran across a link to the MCP Project 52 yesterday and decided to join in.  It's a weekly photo challenge with suggested themes (this week's them is "around the house").  I fell behind and then gave up on 365 Project last year, but I'm pretty sure even during my busiest weeks I'll be able to take and upload one photo.

My first photo is a picture of my new recliner and my new soft and fluffy throw, modified with various filters (really modified--the chair isn't red at all, and the blanket is green, but I like how this looks anyhow).
