Also, not a trash can.

21/52: Zion
Got to hike Zion a couple of days ago. Hiking. It's my new thing. Also, boring photos. Although, that's not so new.

20/52: Pics of pics
That's right. A picture of pictures. Because it wasn't for lack of trying that I failed to get a decent photo this week. It was for lack of sunlight. (And maybe a little bit of procrastination.) I went to the wedge at sunset, but guess what? There's not much of a sunset when there's no sun. Also, taking pictures becomes increasingly difficult when it gets dark. And even more so when you forget a tripod. Basically, everything that could go wrong, did. And the pictures that looked so sharp on that teeny tiny screen on my camera turned out to be blurry and grainy upon closer inspection. And I hate blurry, grainy photos. I also hate cell phone photos, but not quite as much, obvi. Anyway, there's another 32 weeks of this. Things are bound to improve. Right?

19/52: fK&C
I went to see for KING & COUNTRY, a Christian pop music duo, on Wednesday. For a 2nd time. Cuz ever since I saw them perform at church a couple years ago, I've been into them in a big way. I've been told they sound like Coldplay, but I can't really attest to that; the only thing I know about Coldplay is that Chris Martin is freakin' cute. But so are Joel and Luke, the two brothers that make up for KING & COUNTRY. And they're from Australia and have that accent and that accent makes everything better. Not that they need it. Their music is great, so it's really just an added bonus.

18/52: Orchids
1. I think orchids are one of the prettiest weirdest looking flowers.
2. Orchids are my mommy's fave. (Yes, I still call her "mommy.")
3. I always take backlit photos of flowers. I like them all bright and glowy.
4. "Glowy" is totally a word.
5. This is the glowiest of all the orchid photos. It might be too much.

How to start a new blog!
1. Choose a name
2. Choose a platform: Blogger vs. Wordpress (this will keep you awake at night)
3. Feel excited with the unending potential of a clean slate
4. Spend a minimum of 863 hours on designing the new blog
5. Write customary “welcome home” post
6. Write customary “about me” post
7. Foresee yourself writing something highly witty and entertaining and smart every. single. day. for eternity because, hello!, you’re awesome and that is the magic of a brand new blog
8. Transfer all posts from all previous blogs since the beginning of time because the idea of having all your content in one final place leaves you feeling all warm on the inside and no, you haven’t been drinking
9. Allow your obsessive compulsive personality to win and begin the process of going through each and every post to ensure there are no broken links, missing images, or anything even remotely less than perfect because, hello!, you’re perfect
10. Feel embarrassment over some of your earlier posts and remind yourself that you were only twenty-five and ending sentences with “yay!” is perfectly acceptable at twenty-five
11. Feel embarrassment over the number of fan-girl Twilight posts
12. Consider rereading Twilight
13. Ponder the possibility of ever being as carefree as you were at twenty-five
14. Read about your divorce
15. Be depressed
16. Consider rereading Twilight
17. Tell yourself you’ll finish this stupid fucking project later
18. Know you’re lying to yourself
19. Eat some chocolate
20. Rinse and repeat every year or two depending on your mood
I have perfected these steps over the years. Trust me, they work. (That is, as long as your end goal is an anxiety disorder and TO QUIT BLOGGING. Totally works.)

16/52: Selfie
Bad lighting. Crazy eye. Sleep-bloated face. That... hair. What possessed me to take this photo minutes after waking up, I have no idea. But as much as I hate to admit it, this is the best photo I took this week. The other was of condensation. And, yeah, I did that already. (Did I mention I hate condensation?) There's a one-woman anti-condensation movement happening on Instagram. (Not really.)
