On My Mind + November Goals
There are just a few things on my mind:
+ Can painting a whole house just get done faster already? :-/ Also, painting ceilings? Youch. #sorearm #chronicallyunfinished #otherfunthingstodo
+ Blog re-design can send me into a frantic must-fix-the-whole-crazy-thing-before-anyone-sees-it frenzy. And I'm having to take a deep breath and admit I have not the foggiest clue why things are wonky and I'll probably wake up one morning this week with the answer, but as for now -- it will remain wonky.
+ I'm so so so happy to be taking more photos with my Canon T3i and 35mm lens lately. Instagram is convenient, but oh the loveliness of a 2.8 aperture on a crisp fall day. I had a good picture day today. It's kinda like a good hair day.
