THE ANSWER: pilates reformer and assembling an etsy treasury!

i know i know.  you’re baffled and muttering:  what, exactly, was the question?!?!?

here it is:  what are two things i had never done prior to yesterday that i totally loved doing?

no photos of the former, but i know for sure i did it, because whooboy is my core sore!

as for the latter … here she is:

i have tried on the title of “curator,” and it feels kind of comfy.   as for the pilates reformer, well … after these heavy, day-after-exercising- more-than-a-light-jog-for-the-first-time-since-birthing-a-baby-7-months-ago aches and pains pass, i’m hoping that too will feel comfy on my bod.

happy tuesday!

what’s wrong with this picture?

i’m really asking. because i’ve now been futzing with it for over an hour and no longer have eyes that can see clearly. so, i ask: what do you think?

okay, lemme cut to the chase: does it bother you that the bee’s … face? … the front of the bee? … is blurry/obscured? because i think that’s what’s bothering me. and that’s not something i think i can fix in photoshop. no matter how hard i try. some photoshoppers might be THAT good. i am not.

sigh.

so here’s my overwhelming personal dilemma of the day: the reason i don’t have more stuff done is that i spend too much time obsessed with the minutiae of getting it all perfect. however, if i don’t pay attention to such things, i feel somehow less myself. like i’m not trying hard enough. like i’m not doing my best. like, in order to finish this photograph, i NEED to learn more photoshop. or i need to quick! take an art class so i can draw the bee’s … face?

this is me. this is my devil. the details. the art of it all. putting it together. over and over again. until it’s perfect. to me.
