Tuesday Tell-All

Because I’ve got some random photos I need to dump somewhere and a lot of disconnected thoughts running around in my fuzzy little brain, I thought we’d do a Tuesday Tell-All for old times’ sake. *As an early Christmas splurge, Matt and I bought ourselves a new lens for the camera (although, if we’re being …

  For a throwback to good ol’ blog-times past, let’s do a little Tuesday Tell-All, shall we? *For starters, I call the picture above, “Sweet Taters Through Steam.” Sometimes I think my calling in life is making food, taking pictures of it, and then eating it.

A few things you must know right away: 1. These pictures are titled “Red Skunk Hair.” (Mostly because, in case you couldn’t figure it out, I got my hair done again in the “skunk” style over the weekend, which is where you have wide color panels on either side of your head which are usually …

*What these pictures don’t tell you is this—for the past two days, my left eyelid has been mysteriously puffy and swollen.
