my first thought, besides the normal groggy ones you have as a result of going to sleep after 1am, was this is a gorgeous day.
and....doing a random something you love for people really does cheer you up.
it's kind of a proven fact, yes?
because i sent off the canvas today (well, mom did; i was home making dinner) and i can't wait till i hear she's received it and this was just a wonderful day to make your own purely utilitarian box to hold a canvas safe.
did you catch all that?
that...that poor sentence structure and hyped-up-ness?
;)
anyhow, on another book note:
cold tangerines by shauna neiquist was recommended by danielle in this post. it prodded my heart. opened my eyes a bit more even in the intro and first short chapter.
it even made me cry. open hearts tend to do that.
it's 11:16pm, and i've got to get in bed, so.......finally: an experiment.
i love posting singular photos, but here we go. a try out.
my day in slideshow. :)
