#naphopomo 2013, day 15: this was a good week

Things that made my week:

•  I bought myself a bright pink bromeliad.  Isn't it insane?  I've never seen one quite this bright or unusual before.  Given my proclivity for killing plants, I feel sort of badly that this one pulled the short straw and ended up coming home with me, but goodness, she'll be pretty while she lasts.

•  I've fallen in love with the travel and food photography of The Pomelo Blog.  Brittany is really such a talent.

•  Embarrassing admission:  I'm afraid of the dentist.  Happily, though, I found one I love, and when, at my dentist appointment this week the doctor complimented me on my dental care, I felt like a happy 5-year-old.  Had he given me a sticker, my head might have exploded with pride.

•  I was featured on Clementine Daily!  Check out my interview here.  

•  Helen Jane's thoughts on privilege made me think.  Her prayer to find sexy is pretty fantastic, too.

•  I was trying to convince a friend recently that mathematics is the universal language, the basis of every single thing.  This cool 100-second video makes my point for me (watch it in full-screen mode).  

•  The colder weather this week has me dreaming of all things holiday.  I think I'm going to seriously be in the holiday spirit this year -- and that hasn't happened in a while.

•  I suspect all of our workdays would improve if we danced a little.

•  In advance of the greatly-anticipated arrival of Marcus' family next week, I'm going to redecorate my office this weekend.  Assuming it goes as planned, photos to follow.

•  This Janelle Monáe/Erykah Badu song has been on constant rotation on my computer.  

 

And with that, happy weekend, friends.


This photograph was taken as part of #NaPhoPoMo (National Photo Posting Month) -- a shot a day for the month of November.   We're halfway through -- can you believe it?  It's not too late to join me:  it's a lesson in stopping and looking, improving your photography skills, and appreciating the beauty and light around you.
