This Is Why I Would Never Go To A Hypnotist...

So I've been finding myself critiquing my posts and deciding, nah... that's not a good idea.
Who wants to see that?
Picture is yucky.
I don't know what to write.
Scrap that one.
I need a toothpick.
ya da ya da ya da.

So I've decided to write a post in five minutes and share some random fun stuff with you.
This photo above is of some garland wrapped around a paper towel roll.
I took it with my new 50mm lens, and I think I'm in love.
But besides that, this picture tells another story.
One I am not proud of...


My tree is still up.
All my decorations are still up.
Would it be wrong if I still had my tree up in February?
The girls keep wanting to turn on the lights and as they do, I'm vaulting over furniture,
yelling Nooooo... sliding across the floor on my stomach to pull out the cord.

My organized sister told me she just took hers down on Tuesday.

So I feel a little less weird about it.

I think I'm suffering from S.A.D. seasonal  something or other disorder.
I guess that's not really fun stuff, but hey, I'm not self critiquing... remember?
We haven't seen the sun for a while now with all the snow and I just feel like I have no energy and all I want is sugar which just leads right into more tiredness. and on and on it goes,
...although? I see the sun peeking out just now and I have to say in the last two minutes I am definitely  feeling a little more chipper.

Can anyone say... placebo effect?  or highly suggestible?

This is why I would n.e.v.e.r. go to a hypnotist.
I would definitely be the chicken on stage flapping her wings.
I know that for a fact.
I'm sure I would put my full four years of theatre training into each and every cluck.
People would be amazed at my authenticity.
Pecking away.
Yup...never ever going to a hypnotist.


Just bought this off of Etsy.
I love it.
Suits me to a T.
Of course, I was thinking a cute kind of freak rather than a freaky freak, if you know what I mean?

I've done something craaaazeeee.
I've decided to go to a photography workshop offered by this couple.
In San Diego!
They are the world travelling Blue Lily Photography.
I'm still pinching myself. and am kind of in denial a bit, as I'm a wee bit nervous.
But Meg Duerksen is going too and has promised she will hold my hand.
So lets pretend I didn't tell you yet.
When I realize it's actually true I will write a post about it.
I promise.

Oh, and we are not sitting on benches around our table anymore.

We're like grown-ups now...

Remember these $5 chairs from our Spring jaunt to the city?
The steal of the century I tell you!
Well they are almost all painted and they look so great.
Agronomist... You Are THE Best Husband A Girl could ever ask for!

Here's a little sneak peak.  They turned out even better than I had hoped.
I better warn you, you'll be seeing a lot of this globe in my pictures.
I'm kind of in love with it.
I pretend I'm going somewhere when I look at it.
Somewhere, where it's not snowing.

Plus my new lens lets me take shots like this.

See?  Isn't this little guy cute?

It's my little baby globe, and that's daddy sitting behind him.

It's from the 1950's

I have officially started a collection.

OK, I kind of went over by five minutes.
So have a wonderful day,
and if you want to find the freak print?  You can venture on over to my Bungalow facebook page.
Come "like" me there and see all the great things I find and share with my friends!

Ta ta,
the sun is definitely shining now,
I'm going to do a little happy dance,
and take some pictures of chairs and stuff.

xoxox,
