Busy busy.

I have noticed that when I am really busy and/or stressed, I stop writing and start listing. In e-mails, notes to self, class notes, etc.  I guess the streamlining helps? I don't know.  So here is a list for today:

1. If you know me or have talked to me really at all, you probably know about The Pioneer Woman, right?  Well, not only are her photoshop tutorials very very helpful, but my friend Sarah convinced me to read Black Heels to Tractor Wheels, which is the story of how she met her husband. It's extremely well-written and funny.  You should read it. And if after you read it, you feel compelled to comment on someone else who might be a vegetarian in Oklahoma and could potentially meet/marry a cowboy and live on a cattle ranch, let me spare you the trouble: I've already heard it.  Multiple times.

2. Thanks to some of her help with the photo-taking, I got to play with my camera while visiting some friends.  Here are some favorites: 

I ordered some pictures to put around my house.  Not just of Sarah and Ron, because that would be a little stalkerish...but I'm excited about adding some friends and family to a couple of walls that need some spice.  

3. Ron was kind enough to take some pictures of Sarah and me together, since we had only two such pictures from the years we have been friends.  This one is rad, no? (and soon to be on my wall).

4. My friends Josh and Amy wrote a book.  You should check it out. 

5.  School is in session.  I can feel my life dwindling away again.

6. It's this guy's birthday today:

He's 25.  I hope it's grand. 

7.  That's really it.  I hope life is treating you well.
