We went camping at St. Croix State Park this weekend. There are more photos in this flickr set.

I did it! I did it, you guys! Today was the last day of my personal Project 365. See all the photos here. I would say, 'Wow, I can't believe it's already been a year,' except that I clearly remember thinking when I started that a year would be over before I even knew it. So I can believe.

Still, I'm very proud. I've designed a poster with thumbnails of all 365 photos, but I have to actually now put in the higher-res images instead of the 72 dpi thumbnails I pulled off flickr. BOR-RING.

The image above was today's photo, which I took to pair with the first photo from my 365. A year ago, I had just baked a loaf of rye bread. Today, I just brought some back from Tobies in Hinckley.

I had a really nice week at the cabin, and I was pretty darn productive. I even began work on a slight redesign of this site. What I really want to change is the way I use it (that is, I want to use it more), but a new look will help that a bit. I think that being away -- and without a constant internet connection -- made me realize how quantity-over-quality I've become in my internet use. Always being tapped in is a bit overwhelming; I actually preferred making a fuss over going to the supermarket to catch up on things. And I think appreciating the connection made me in turn appreciate being able to write for this blog and share my day with you fine folks. So I want to try to hang on to that feeling.

I have a habit of all-or-nothing thinking, and I like to make everything a project, but I'm trying to let go of that. It's too demanding of a way to live, and it's not necessary; this past week has taught me that. I was more productive, both professionally and personally, than I've been in a long time, and it wasn't because I set myself a rigid schedule or came up with a set of rules on how I was going to spend me time. It was the opposite, in fact -- I relaxed and enjoyed the world around me, and everything else fell into place. So that's my only 'goal' for the moment -- relax, enjoy, accept.

And less internet.
