dear...

dear itunes,
  Why won't you let me have a multiple artist album? It's really annoying!

dear government,
  No, thank-you. I really don't need more money. In fact, if you could stop printing it, that would be great.

dear math,
  I know you're just trying to help, and to be honest, I kind of like you. But you can be so irritating sometimes...

dear library,
  Can you please get another Downton Abbey dvd? I've had this one on hold for ages.

girl who can't wait to watch it

dear kindle,
  Can't wait for you to arrive! My iPod is really no match for you.

your future owner

dear homer,
  I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but every time I pick up Odyssey, I start feeling sleepy. Was it originally intended as a bedtime story?

dear march 23rd,
  I await your coming with anticipation.

girl on fire

dear ninety-nine followers,
You are all amazing. Returning your lovely comments and getting to know you is one of my goals.

Wind, Rain, & Piano Keys

wind and rain... I love them both.

SOOC Shot // SOOC Shot

The adventurous, clean, fresh smell of rain, the feel of the wind's pull on my hair, leftover snowflakes floating around... Mmmm... They all made me feel like I was inside a fairytale when I stepped outside this morning.

SOOC Shot

 And no, sadly I didn't take any photos. And yes, I am extremely mad at myself.

SOOC Shot

And yes, these are leftover photos from last week, which I was looking for an excuse to post.

So, you are probably wondering what piano keys have to do with wind & rain, right? Well, umm... basically nothing. I was just, well... looking for an excuse to post these photos (taken at a friend's house yesterday). ;P

Edit

Taking photos of someone playing piano was one of the things on my (mental) bucket list. Now I can cross it off!

SOOC Shot

Lighting was pretty bad though (at least in the exact spot the piano was), but I did manage to take a few non-grainy photos.

Black & White

 By the way, her piano is not green. It just looks green in the photos. And yes, they are (really and truly) SOOCs. It may have been the lighting or something that made them look green. I love the way they turned out! :)

Sorry for the rather unstructured post. I just couldn't think of an exact topic to post upon, so I just kinda went with what I had... something I just realized I do often. ;)

p.s. Be on the look out these next few days, because a certain (awesome) person is guest posting. ;)

p.s.s. I got a one dollar Amazon credit via this tweet, and was going to buy Safe and Sound, and guess what? They won't let me get it because I live in Canada (not the US). What?! It's not like they're going to be shipping it to me or something... 0_o

Blogoversary Giveaway no.1 // Sponsored by Lauryn

I wish I could inform you that March found me strolling through the backyard, taking pictures of cherry blossoms and budding lilacs, but sadly, that is not the case. In fact, it snowed today. *sigh* Oh, I know spring is on its way... I just desperately wish it would hurry up. But let us ponder on what today is, instead of what it isn't, shall we? And it is day one of my blogoversary party! Exciting, is it not?! ;)
