day two

you could never tell by looking at me, but i am a recovering perfectionist. i used to work very long hours, sign my name with great detail and wrap gifts perfectly. i was a perfectionist until i had children and with one quick swoop all perfectionism flew out the window. i couldn't live up to those standards any longer. so, i just accepted the imperfections.

however, there are times when the perfectionist side of me still rears it's ugly face. times, let's say, when i go shopping. i always go shopping with a picture in my mind of exactly what i want and get extremely frustrated when i can't find that perfect picture. so, i obsess. and lately i have been obsessing over skinny evergreens. skinny evergreens that only seemed to exist in my mind until today when my true love gave to me....
