Happy Halloween Portraits!

01

Come see me at Proex in highland to get a free halloween portrait session!  Sheets are buy one get one half off!

Another disappearing act.

01 Sorry to disappear again, my life has become too chaotic for it's own good. Work and school and life in general are all too much for me right now.

I have still been working 25 to 35 hours a week. So that means I have been working 5 days a week. My other two days, Monday and Wendesdays, have been taken up by school. This has led to zero time for me.

School has been less than successful this quarter. Photographic studio was going fine, i was producing good work. Then the midterm happened. I had no motivation and/or inspiration to complete/start it. Digital darkroom is going ok, I have missed a couple worksheets and in class assignments, but i am going to do better from here on out. Design layout is going pretty well, i have gotten everything turned in so far, though i have missed a couple class periods.

I have taken a couple of major steps to reduce the stress in my life. Step one was dropping down to 4 days a week at work. Step two is withdrawing from my Photo Studio class. Step three is to not miss any more class periods or assignments in my two remaining classes.

My final step in stress reduction and getting my life together is taking the summer off of school. I think it will be reallly good for me to get my house in order and then bring school back into the equation in the fall.

That is all. Thanks for reading.

Productive Day

01 Today was overall a very productive day. I woke up at 8:30 and took some cold medicine. By 'some' cold medicine, I mean the rest of the bottle. Liquid, and there was less than one dose left.. I proceed to fall back asleep until around 9:45. By 10:15 my room was clean, including a load of laundry in the wash. I cleaned the rat cage, as well as the litter box. I started work at 11.

Work was pretty good today, I met a lot of nice customers. One guy even gave me a tip after I helped him place his order, making sure he got the correct size as to not loose important parts of his photos. I got my Jimmy Johns from my manager today as well. A reward for an in store contest we had finished last week. Yay for selling :)

This morning was also a lot of fun at work. Andrea purchased a couple boxes of jelly beans that have both standard and gross flavors in them. The catch, each gross flavor, is the same color as one of the standard ones. We stood around as a group and each took one of the same color and all ate them at the same time. It was interesting watchign the faces people made when they got a gross flavor like "baby wipes" instead of coconut. I luckily got the coconut. On other pairs such as the "dog food" and chocolate pudding one, I didn't fare so well. It was a lot of fun though. This is one of the reasons that I love working with the people that I do.

I got more cleaning done when I got home from work. I got home after making a stop at the liquor store for Rolling Rock, and Mint Chocolate Baileys. The baileys a special treat for myself funded in part by my tip from work. The rolling rock, a gift for my model this evening.

Well now it is time to start season two of Dollhouse. The last episode of season 1 was amazing! I can't wait to see what they do next!

Lacking.

01 Today I have been lacking in motivation. It really sucks. I got off work over 6 hours ago, and have been home for over 5 hours. All I have done is edit a handful of Vegas photos, chat with people online, eat some food, and be sad.

As far as photos go, I want to get more edited before I start posting large batches... but here is a teaser.




P.s. I want to shoot vegas with a 4x5 view camera.

work work work

01 So this morning I looked outside to see my car covered in snow. Then and there I decided to leave early for work to make sure that I wasn't late. So now I am sitting at work, waiting for my shift to start. It took me almost the exact same amount of time that it usually does to get to work. Oh well, atleast I am here and not late.

I am looking forward to when I get off work tonight. I already have my things done for tomorrow so I can just relax and enjoy myself tonight. Also I washed all my pillows cases and sheets today, so it will be all the nicer to sleep in my bed tonight... I love clean sheets even more than I enjoy getting new sheets. Next up for wash is my Gir blanket, and possibly washing my pillows....

I hope work isnt too incredibly slow tonight... we have apparently been really slow all day. When it is slow, it always makes my shift feel a lot longer. It is only a 6 hr shift though, so it should go quick. I am looking forward to the food I brought for dinner too. Rice, vegi chips and a couple of the brownies i made last night.

Ten minutes now, time to go change into dress code.

One heck of a Monday.

01 Today has been a long one. And that my friends is putting it simply. I woke up next to you. The morning was followed by lunch with my mom, and looking through old pictures. I need to remember to grab those from my car in the morning since I need them for my 8am class. We are restoring old photos in Digital Photography Production. I am excited. After lunch with my mom, to which I was accompanied by Feather. I brought Feather to Tyler for a joint custody type thing. She comes home to me tomorrow. This means that I also got to see Batter today. I miss him a lot. He is the hole in my heart. Tyler and I also gave things back to eachother. I gave him things, and he gave back the tangible representations of my memories. I really appreciated it. I already forget things all the time, so someday these memories in a box may be all I have. Work was slow, I was tired, and that made my shift seem super long. Now I am doing homework. Bummed that I wont get to fall asleep next to you.

Eclipse, Solstice and Yoga

01 Today has been a wonderful day so far. I woke up around 10, though it was aobut 15 minutes before my alarm went off. It has been a while since I got up without an alarm. Heck it has been a while since i got up without hitting the snooze a handful of times. I started my morning with a piece of string cheese, followed by a bit of web surfing and chatting. I then went to my car to grab presents that I am hiding at Megan's house and to get my yoga mat from my car. I get to my car to find a ticket. I was parked in the day plow route apparently... too bad i didn't know this until after the fact. Oh well, at least it is only $53. I scraped enough ice off to see so that I could move my car to the other side of the road. Brakes still fail. I returned inside to do yoga. I tried one video. I didn't love it. It used a chair, which seemed limiting to me. I then found a different video, which was very similar to what I have done at CorePower. It was perfect. It is a 44 minute video, I did about 30 of it today. Now I am thinking it is time to start working on my calendars for Christmas. Then off to bus to work around 12:30

Give me a Break.

01 So today has been long, but not bad. I got up at 7:45 to leave my house by 8. I did this in order to deliver a package to a house that after driving 3 miles to find... does not exist. This conclusion is only based upon where my phone told me it was and where my eyes told me it was not. Therfore the photos did not get delivered. I got to work on time though. So all is well. After work i picked Megan up and we went to Starbucks where I made my christmas list. We continued our trip with a trip to Turn style, Blick and Petsmart. We ended our shopping at Kohls.

My car on the other hand did not have quite as good of a day. To start with my brakes slid and wouldnt stopon the way into the kohls parking lot... and then parking they did it again... didnt hit the car parked in front of me thankfully. Brakes are still not working. Can you say bus to work tomorrow. Ugh. Oh well.

So due to this i am staying at Megans tonight. She is closer to work, and that way i didnt have to drive home tonight.

Headache in Submission

01 I feel like I did not accomplish anything this weekend. Sure I went places, and did a couple things, but I don't feel like I did anything that I needed to do. My head has still been pounding.

Thursday: I drove to school. Went to school early to print my picture for my computer apps class. I got there at 7:30. I stayed through my computer apps class. I then went to my Speech class and ended up just taking the quiz and going home. Driving has been a bit scary with the way my head has been hurting

MADI-HEAD-ACHE= Pain near the top of the head that extends towards temple, neck and jaw. Causes inability to focus mentally and can at times physically effect vision. This headache is not easily remedied; Acetaminophen doesn't seem to do anything, Ibuprofen needs at least 800mg to make a difference, Vicodin helps, in conjunction with Ibuprofen but is not easily accessible, Aleve Liquid Gels Are too strong and don't help enough to make them worth upsetting my stomach. Excedrin Migraine I purchased yesterday... and surprisingly it helped quite a bit.

After a weekend of things:

Work

Utilizing Netflix

Tattoo Shop Opening-Rose of No Man's Land

Laurence's 2nd Birthday Party

Hanging out with Hannah

Work

Finally though, I was able to subside my headache enough to do what I had been looking forward to for at least 4 months.... We (Tyler and I) Went and saw Alice In Wonderland! It was fantastic! No one would have done it better than Tim Burton. He is amazing, the way that everything was put together was absolutely beautiful! There were a couple points where the 3D threatened to pull my headache back from submission, but It didn't come. Got home too late, because we saw it at 10:30 instead of 7:45 like we had planned. The earlier show was sold out by the time that we got to the theater.

That is enough now, time to ready myself for 4 hours of work.
