Grays Harbor Lighthouse
On Saturday, I surprised my husband with some donuts and coffee for breakfast– we woke up around seven am and laid in bed for a while, and then I told him to stay in bed until I got back and I journeyed off to the store while he lay there wondering where the heck I’d gone– and then I asked if he wanted to come away with me. I’d been considering surprising him with an adventure all week but I didn’t decide to actually do it until that morning. So we went off to Westport, where the tallest lighthouse in Washington can be found. My family has gone to Grays…

Midweek Inspiration: Pattern Clashing!
This week, I didn’t feel like emulating any particular outfit so much as doing a bit of pattern mixing, inspired by this outfit (I want that bunny shirt!) and this outfit in particular. I loved the combo of stripes and florals, but I don’t have stripes and florals that really go together, so I opted for polkadots instead. And this might be a new favorite outfit of mine! I also love this location– while we didn’t walk yesterday, the beach and the park are a walkable distance from my house, and I’m pretty sure Mr. Owl and I will spend a lot of our time at the beach (in the mud) or…

Snow White is cranky.
You can’t tell by this picture, but I’m feeling a little bit cranky today. I blame the weather. And lack of good sleep. And the unhealthy amount of chocolate I had last night. And my hair’s disobedience (especially my bangs.) But I’m leaving to see my Owl today, so all will be well. We plan to do a possible photoshoot in the woods if the weather decides to get nicer, make doughnuts, and watch The Two Towers. Despite my current crankiness, I think it’ll turn out to be a much better day than it feels right now. Speaking of my hair– which I was a few sentences ago, shush– I…

Crazy Owl Lady
Sometimes, the only way to make a picture look interesting is star effects. It’s still rainy. I didn’t want to go outside. My room’s lighting is crap. But stars make everything better, right? Right. It’s day two of my resolution to write every day for a year. Look over there —> at my fancy widget! (okay, maybe a bit higher. Right below the “Mara Writes” button) I set the goal at 182,500 words because 500 words a day seems pretty easy. I know that some days, like today so far, I may not get to 500 words a day… but I also know that other days, I will exceed that…

Broken Skeptics
So… hmm. Yeah. I really don’t have much to say today. I have a headache and I’m a bit tired from working all week, moving, unpacking, cleaning, running errands, etc… so… uhm… yes. I wore this with a grandma sweater. No, really. It’s a sweater that belonged to my grandma. And it is the most comfortable sweater I have ever worn, and I love it even if it IS white and I’m prone to spilling things. So this is the back deck of our new house. Well, the house we’re living in. It’s not technically ours. We’re renting. That’s not what my point was going to be. *ahem* I felt…
