Who’s the prettiest camera of them all?

My 7 Days photo today was inspired by a photo I took a couple of weeks ago. I was up really early one morning, before anyone else was awake. I thought such a rare event should be commemorated! So I took a photo of myself in this little mirror that we bought at a shop in Old Town before we left California in 1999.

I like this photo so much, I debated cheating and changing the date on it so it could be my Day 4 photo. You’ll be glad to know I resisted temptation.

On a totally unrelated note…how on earth did it get to be December 23rd!?

Get it? I crack myself up.

The bottle contains homemade vanilla extract which we’ll be giving to various people for Christmas. So a few of you seeing this photo might be getting a sneak peek of your Christmas present. Oops. Uh, forget you saw this.

In other news, Annalie received a little gift in the mail today from Brenda and Bug: a snow globe soap! Annalie loved it. She was so excited she immediately asked if she could take a shower, right after we filmed a short thank-you video.

I am not feeling very inspired so far during this week of 7 Days. I think that’s partly because I’ve been scrambling to get Christmas-related stuff done and have hardly had any time to spend online. I’ve fallen way behind in commenting on everyone else’s 7 Days photos. And I still have a to-do list a mile long. On top of everything else, just as I am finally getting rid of the cough I’ve had for three weeks, I am getting a sore throat. Just…great.

Oh well. At least the lights look pretty. And I’ll live. Hand me the Zicam, will you? I think I’ll wander down to the kitchen and make some 1-o’clock-in-the-morning fudge before I go to bed.

Anyone else feel like kvetching? Feel free to vent in the comments!
