The title of this blog post comes from a recent conversation with my mom, where I was talking about my blogging prospects now that my lovely, trusty old camera has lost the will to focus properly. In response, the mailman delivered a tiny package wrapped in brown paper, containing one of my family's spare point-and-shoot cameras for me to borrow for the summer. Hooray! Thanks, mom. :)

And, as a reward, I am posting a long overdue photo of my new (to me) dining table, and the primary reason I drove 1,900 miles across the country in the dead of winter earlier this year:

Its rarely that clean on the table, but I made a special effort to clear it off for this photo. Currently I am sitting in the back right chair, with my laptop and a cup of coffee, with the windows open. Its the best spot to work!

The table comes from my grandmother, who bought it back in the day and has kept it in storage ever since moving to Dallas. I am so glad they didn't sell it, because its quite possibly my favorite thing in my whole apartment!
