Oh I don't know, I think that picture is actually one word...love.

Just in the few years I've been reading your blog I've watched you blossom and find your feet and it has been so cool. I think we ALL go through this kind of growth and uncertainty. I wish I could say we leave it behind but I find the uncertain, insecure, and "peevish" me makes appearances from time to time when something isn't going quite right or when I'm in the midst of giganta change. Here is to finding those great pieces of ourselves and recognizing them for the gems that they are. I can't wait until you create, write and star in the emmy award winning show. Oh wait, did future me just accidentally let something slip?

Oregonians will tell you that the 1% that weren't awesome are transplanted Californians. :-) (I moved here from LA 6 years ago)

I'm one of those clutter/clean/simplify people and I say the cherry pitters are a necessity! Every summer I like to make my batches of cherry jam and you do NOT want to try to do that without a pitter. Nightmare. Your gadget looks like it also contains the arterial-spray-looking mess the pitter makes. Very nice indeed!
