28/100: Went to a Christmas tree farm and didn't buy a Christmas tree. 2 days ago

I’ve never bought a real Christmas tree, I always have a fake one. This year I’ve just moved into a new apartment and already own a small pre-lit tree, so I don’t need a real one. But my friends were going Christmas tree shopping so I decided to tag along. It’s really fun! I’d like to get a real tree next year. They smell so great, and it’s cool when you chop it down cause the stump is still sappy and if you touch it, it makes your fingers smell Christmassy. Plus I got to see them shake the Christmas tree to get rid of the dead needles (I didn’t know they did that, but it’s really funny to watch!) and I got to watch them bundle it with string, which involves another really cool machine. Super fun!

26 & 27/100: Photographed a family, Photographed a button-pusher. 4 days ago

Let’s talk about the button pushers first. Parents: DO NOT bribe your kids with chocolate, because from then on they will never do anything unless you give them chocolate, and even once they get it, they won’t behave because, hey, they already have their chocolate! Sheesh.
That’s one kind of button pusher. The other kind is just that extra special age where kids like to test their parents by being smart asses. That takes an extra special kind of stealth photographer. Check.
But I did photograph and absolutely beautiful and wonderful family today and thank goodness, too; it was just what I needed to recover the night. They were angels!

25/100: Put a(n IKEA) sofa together. 5 days ago

That’s supposed to sound impressive, but aside from heavy lifting all you do is screw the legs on and pull the slipcovers on. It’s a great sofa though!
