52 Fridays: 16/52 - Details.


This has been one crazy week. Funny that our theme is details, because I've been so air headed lately. I had an idea to capture road signs for details. I wasn't sold on it yet, so a few days went by before I decided to visit my parents. They're about an hour away, so I thought since I wasn't going to be the one driving, I would photograph the signs along the way. We were about 15 minutes into the drive, when I pulled my camera out to take a picture, and....no memory card.

Here's the worst part about that. I knew there wasn't one in there. I had taken it out the night before, and remembered when I got into bed that I needed to put another one in. I even sent myself a reminder, but look at the photo and you'll see a detail I missed.

Remind me - never? Pointless...

I'm the girl that needs to open the blinds first thing in the morning, I love the light. Since we're in an apartment, we only have windows on one side, and we have three. Not much, so I open those babies up!
Yesterday morning, while ironing my shirt, topless, I realized I hadn't opened the blinds yet, and it was rather dim in the room. I walked straight over to the window and opened them up...topless. Just a little detail I missed. It only took about 1.25 seconds for me to close them back up. That's quick. That's how you do that if you ever make that mistake, in case you ever need to know. 

There is one detail I won't miss today, and that is you should visit Chay's blog!
I know she will have something great for you, she always does.

  3. LOL!!! A perfectly funny post that gave me a much welcomed smile. (And if it helps, my kids are always telling people I'm like Dory from the Nemo movie. Let's just say short term memory isn't my specialty.)

  4. haha - your too funny! We live on the 6th floor of our apartments so I can open the blinds when I"m topped or less. I'll think of you now when I open them with a little less on :)

  7. Lol! Love your notes but how you missed the details. I do the same thing. I think it just happens b/c there is so much going on and on our minds. Love your post!

  9. Bahaha! That's totally something I would do. I am the same way, by the way: I can't function properly in a dim room. It makes me feel like I haven't woken up, or like the room is funky.
