- ipods are genius! My brother gave Neil and I his older (goodness I feel ridiculous saying that... when did a year or two suddenly make electronics old?) ipod nanos since he purchased an iphone. They're so brilliant! I've never had an mp3 player before (wait... should I say media player?), so I should be saying that mp3 players are brilliant.
You get to carry your music with you - everywhere. Genius.
Martha Stewart once wrote in an article that tiny earbuds were just terrible for the longevity of our hearing (or something to that effect) and I totally agreed with her. But... it's just... so cool.
I'm know. I'm late to the party. Let me enjoy this.
- This old blog is going to look a bit plain for awhile. You may have noticed over the past few months that I've been working on redesigning things around here. Been trying lots of different things, but to be honest I don't know much more than basic html here and there so I'm pretty limited! I know the opportunity for learning is everywhere online, but I have grand plans in my head and actually do have those types of classes in my future at school, but not quite yet. I finally decided to give in and work with someone, so this space should be all shiny and pretty very soon!
- The other day I stepped on a snail. I was in my socks, outside to photograph a layout. I stepped right out the door and heard a crunch. At first I assumed it was an acorn, but then realized it was so soft. Thinking about it, I called for Neil. He ran over and was immediately startled since I already had tears in my eyes. I told him I might have killed a snail. He picked it up and said, no, just the shell. But what does a snail then do for a shell?? Neil moved the snail away, under the steps.
But I'm pretty sure that the dog went right over and scarfed it down.
And yes, I cried a bit. I just felt pretty terrible about it.
I got all kinds of emotional when I accidentally stepped on a tiny frog the same way. It's just a bit startling!
and sad.
- Absolutely crazy about Sabrina Ward Harrison's products for PAPAYA! Crazy about their products anyways, but the journals by Sabrina... swoonworthy really. I am hopeful to get some for gifts this holiday season.
- I've started missing blueberries like crazy. I think one of my food goals for next year will be to buy extra so I can freeze them and enjoy them all year round. We have the advantage of a huge freezer in the garage so I think I'll be studying a bit about food preservation for next year.
I would also love a little handful of these:
- alright, back to the craft room for me - I've got piles of overdue (for me...) projects to sort through and work on... and I would really love to see a clean desk so I can start on some more!
