Bathroom Change and Other Things

I’ve been keeping myself surprisingly busy this past week. Doing things, seeing friends, all that stuff. I did an on-the-cheap bathroom ‘remodel’:

Okay, that’s just the curtain. But you can see what it looked like before here and what it now looks like here. I feel like I should say that there really were hand towels before as well (just dark blue ones), but I’d removed them for the photo, because I wanted to play with the image in Photoshop.
– I really don’t like the brown tiles in the bathroom — they look so cheap to me — but I finally realized that I was not going to have the means to create the bathroom of my dreams any time soon. So I settled for an inexpensive quart of paint, a curtain that was on clearance, and a couple of new Ikea hand towels. Does the job rather nicely, even if I do say so myself.
– It might be worth mentioning that I update my flickr almost every day; there’s certainly a picture for every day, since I started the 365 project in August. I’m guilty of usually either reading a person’s blog OR keeping up to date with her flickr account, not both. But in case you get annoyed when I wander away from here for long stretches of time. . .
– I picked broccoli yesterday, so much that I actually blanched and froze a bagful. I’m going to make myself wait until the most miserable day of winter to eat it. The cool weather we had for a couple of weeks really spurred on the growth of the cold-loving crops, but it’s been warmer again this week, which I hope will speed a bunch of green tomatoes on to ripeness before we get frost.
