I’m eyeing a Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 lens. I’m a little hesitant to buy another fixed lens (I have the 50mm f/1.8) but have heard good things. Have you used it? Thoughts?
I mean. I had a choice but I agreed because it was where my ex-husband wanted to be. Things weren’t good between us as far back as three years ago and I thought moving to where he wanted to be would make him happier and help our marriage. It didn’t matter to me where we lived as long as things got better.
I’ve since learned that there was not a direct correlation between his geographic location and our happiness. And now I feel like I’m stuck. When I’m really angry, I feel like I was tricked into moving and now I’m stuck.
I love my job. I’ve made some good friends. Austin is lovely. My good hair days outnumber my bad.
I pink puffy heart Valentine’s Day, but I don’t have a Valentine this year. That’s just a small technicality, in my opinion.I mean, have you ever really gotten a good gift from a Valentine? I haven’t.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to celebrate regardless and put together a Valentine Swap! Sounds like something you want to be a part of, right?
Shit bitch, you is fine.
Here are the guidelines. They are a work in progress, so let me know what you think and I’ll send the final guidelines to all participants with their match on February 1st.
Receive your match and final guidelines on February 1st.
Buy your Valentine $15 worth of treats and goodies – this can be candy, knick knacks, trinkets; anything you’d think they’d enjoy.
Mail your goodies by February 7th to arrive by the big day. Be sure to get a tracking number, just in case.
When you receive your package, hold out until Valentine’s day to open and then Tweet or blog about what you received
On Valentine’s Day reveal yourself to your match!
Enjoy your treats.
Please only sign up if you intend to follow-through. We don’t want to leave anyone without a Valentine! It would be great if there were at least a dozen participants, but we’ll make it work no matter what.
For the first time in the two years that I have lived in Austin I have a friend coming to visit for the weekend. I am so so excited! Like, I’m actually cleaning the toilet kind of excited.
Let that sink in for a moment. Whoa. I know.
We’re going to get BBQ and…that’s probably about it because he’s technically here for work but still. I’m going to have a friend in town for 48 hours! Hopefully he won’t hear any Austinites saying douchey Austin things.
My birthday is exactly two months from today and I want to do something fun. I want to go somewhere. And I’m going to have to take matters into my own hands.
My last two birthdays have…well, they’ve sucked. No cake, no decorations, no celebration. I’m a birthday person. I’d choose my birthday over Christmas any day. Quality over quantity, as they say. So having a string of bummer birthdays really has me down. My lovely friends and family tried, but it’s hard when I’m in Austin and they’re everywhere else.
Should I sit on the beach in San Diego? Take a cruise to Mexico? Fly to the Bahamas?
My mind keeps going to sandy beach, tropical drinks, and a stack of books but maybe it should be going to bright lights and big cities. New York? Chicago? Hollywood?
