list no. 29 :: the past 21 days, or so

Its been a whirlwind of activity for the past three weeks and today, literally, is the first day  that I haven't been operating, (or hoping to), at maximum capacity. Which is why the sadness and depression seeped in, reminding me that I've been pushing all of that to the side so I could get things done. 


On a cheerier note, (because grief is a constant), here's a recap of what's been going on, and conveniently, a few items checked off the other list.

1. As you know, we moved.
2. And because I'm married to a man that "does", we were unpacked in one week. 
3. It was ridiculous, but on this side of it, I'm glad to have it all done. 
4. Well...except for the guest room closet that holds my art + sewing supplies.
5. I've been reading a lot. Finishing a silly summer series, reading her book in one sitting and now, starting on a much anticipated pile that has been beckoning.
6. I pushed through my awkward self-consciousness and finally took advantage of the new client special offered at The Bar Method, no. 53 on my list.
7. I also started taking spin classes again because I needed a change of scenery, (and routine), with how I work out.
8. No. 66 on my list, attend Blogshop happened this weekend and I couldn't be more thrilled. FINALLY, I know my way around Photoshop! 
9. If you know me, you know I had a jerry-rigged, (coughpicnikcough), way of editing my digital photos, which is why my editing skills were rudimentary at best. 
10. It was also the initial appeal to me of Polaroid film because with instant photography, there's no editing necessary. What you see is what you get and that's what I needed.
11. Blogshop was everything I wanted and more. 
12. I finally understand a lot of the basics of Photoshop and have a strong basis to begin to explore.
13. The workshop gave me the tools to be able to noodle around the program fearlessly, and also, the knowledge on how to figure out where things went wrong when mistakes are made.
14. I made a couple of new friends,
15. took a few Polaroid shots I liked,
16. and I got a great polka-dotted Baggu swag bag full of goodies.

Tell me, what's been going on in your neck of the woods? Tell me something good!
