Perforation Problems

There are a few more days of Bahamas pictures. My set from October 31st is pretty bad... It took me awhile to realize I was probably trying to get a picture of the sunset as it ducked behind the trees. You can just barely make it out if you move your head up and down and look from different angles.  At least there's a moon in there? I guess this is fitting for Halloween.  By the way, guys, it's January and it's dismal outside. I haven't taken down the Christmas lights, which helps some, but it mostly just feels like I'm lying to myself. It's not Christmas, anymore, Haley. Time to move on. 

Anyone who knows me or has read more than a post or two on this blog will know that I love food. It's psychological and physical and emotional -- I know there are those of you out there who feel the same way, because you're my friends -- but there's nothing better than knowing there's something delicious in your future. I probably could write a book analyzing my relationship with food, but let's just say there's a direct correlation between my mood and the availability of good food around me. And by "good" I mean "Haley good," which is usually two steps below what other people think is good. The difference between a horrible 12 hour car ride and a completely fine 12 hour car ride? A stop for french fries and granola bars readily available in my purse. Have to go to a meeting that's going to be really boring? Totally fine with it if there are good cookies present. There were not many grocery stores or open restaurants on Eleuthera -- in ...

Well, this post may say 10/29/2013, but it's really 1/6/2014, which is officially 365 days since I started Project 365. I'm not sure if I can consider myself a success, since I missed several days and I'm 10 weeks behind on posting my pictures, but I'm not going to call myself a failure, either. The goal was to make myself feel more present in the day-to-day -- to have some kind of "bookmark" for my time -- and to be more creative/write more. I'd say that goal was accomplished. This will be my 331st post on a blog that until 2013 was mostly ignored. I also have THOUSANDS of pictures, though I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing. There's a balance between recording what happens /  what you do and spending so much time recording that you're experiencing everything through the filter of a camera lens. I read something somewhere the other day that said people remember more when they don't take pictures, which makes sense to me. I'...

Took walks along the beach -- picked up a coconut, some weird fruit I didn't recognize, and some shells. Saw a piece of metal that looked like it'd been ripped off a plane. Went swimming, ate hot dogs. Read.

Sunset over the pond on our first anniversary. We laid around all day, reading and swimming.

3:30 a.m, waiting for the airport shuttle. Cold but excited, because we're on VACATION. No work, no obligations, no stresses for a whole week.

This is the only picture I took today. It was a really good cookie. I went back for another.
