Oh Christmas Tree…
Took the Christmas trees out today. Snipped branches and made little nests around the blueberry plants to help make them happy.
Probably should use this fancy phone to post some pics.
We have become efficient wasters.
Instagram is to photography what auto-tune is to music.
You will never leave where you are until you decide where you’d rather be.
ok, i’ll admit it. i’m a sucker for a good manifesto.
i saw a Bo Jackson Nike ad in Rolling Stone once that i swore was going to change my life. i’m not sure if it did, but i have to believe that i took at least SOME of it to heart.
anyway…this is called the Holstee Manifesto…and you can read more about it here…but i saw this on Facebook yesterday, and it has moved me…quite a bit.
i hope it moves you, too.
Just not quite ready to let go of it yet…
Portlandia has become one of my new favorite shows. It airs on IFC, and season 2 starts this Friday night.
If you missed season 1 (like i did), you can watch all 6 episodes on Netflix.
Even if you don’t watch them, you should be able to jump right in on season 2 just fine…it is a sketch show, so there aren’t any plot points you’ll be missing.
However…should you decide to watch, or maybe if you just want to know the premise, watch this video, which was the beginning of season 1, episode 1. It will give you all the background info you need…it both makes me laugh hysterically AND want to move to Portland, simultaneously.
Enjoy.
Where was this for Christmas?
where i’d really like to be today.
…and here we go!
it would be nice to say that i’m going to post something here at least once a day this year (as i post this on the SECOND day of the year), but…if my past blogging history is any indication, that may not be realistic.
however, i am going to TRY to post regularly…a photo, a quote…just something.
i have high hopes for this year, and keeping this place active is one of them.
let’s begin and see how it goes!
