What I learned this week…in random order…

• new sneakers are my favorite birthday gift to myself (I love these!)

• sometimes it takes staying up until midnight to make a photo sample just perfect

• having a bird feeder can be highly entertaining

• not everyone subscribes to the same sense of urgency as I do

• I have some very good friends that I know almost exclusively online

• in a pinch, you can substitute gray thread if you run out of green

• I love the sound of digging through the button jar

• I’m grateful for finding new jeans that fit. (thank you dENiZEN!)

• 2012 is moving entirely too fast

…..and on that last note, it’s Friday! (again!) Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
