WEEK ONE: Ringing in the New Year with ginger ale!

Well, my goal was to start my 365 project January 1st!   Sounded great and I even took my first picture to post while me, my husband and daughter were all at a lovely New Years day brunch put on by some friends.  We hung out and ate yummy food while our daughter played with her friends and all the dogs.   All was happy.   Then later that night after my daughter was tucked into bed (around the time I had planned my first post) IT HIT!  A horrible feeling in my stomach,  the chills,  a fever and then throwing up every hour for at least 10 hours.  The worst I have felt in a super long time!!   At one point I was so light headed and weak that I actually fell down the stairs, scaring my husband half to death and giving myself some lovely bruises.  It was a great time that lasted until about 1pm the next day.  Finally when the throwing up ended I just felt exhausted and could barely move and had absolutely no desire to take a picture or post anything.   It was a good thing my husband was there, because I could not even think of taking care of my daughter.   
Finally Monday came around and I felt a little better  so a took a picture and then when I tried to open it on my computer I realized my photoshop elements was no longer installed!!  What the heck, I felt like my project was a lost cause.  Then I thought about it  and realized a lot of a people do a 52 week project, which is a least one photo a week for the whole year.  I decided that was more my speed especially the way the first few days of my project started out!!!!  So here goes!
