photo-taking stance., originally uploaded by karin!.

This was a good day. You can tell it was a good day, becuase there I am, all pigeon toed with my knee uncomfortably wrenched in and my hip at an unnatural angle, doing the photo-taking stance. I don’t do photography comfortably. I don’t feel natural and confident. I’m awkward and unsure behind a camera. I feel conspicuous. All of these things in mind, it’s not terribly surprising that my body language isn’t comfortable when I’m doing it. Even with all of that being true, I’m strangely happy like this. Uncomfortable, awkward, but somehow complete with my camera strap all twisted and wrapped around my wrist, squinting up into the sky.

So, with that, and the fact that this has been a most excellent day/weekend, I give you again, 10 Things That Make Me Terribly Happy, but focused.

10 Things Things That Made Me Terribly Happy This Weekend
1. perfectly cooked eggs at a perfect brunch with a perfect friend
2. unbelievable weather all damn weekend
3. an unexpectedly fun Friday night, followed by an expectedly fun Saturday, and a lazy Sunday
4. Cleaning and cooking for myself (with leftovers for a lunch and dinner this week!)
5. I’ve started the growing of both a sourdough bread starter and my own bean sprouts
6. a lot of smiling, laughing, and talking
7. sleepy morning cuddles with the masters of the house
8. getting a text at the exact moment you were thinking about a person
9. buying the first flower of the year, and anxiously anticipating its bloom
10. buying and eating some seriously tasty cheese

And there you have it. I’m still trying to pretend that Monday doesn’t exist but for right now, I’m pretty content.
