snow day. i needed thee.

snow day tomorrow = happiness. 

everything else = kinda blah. 

the migraines are not going away. i am on two preventatives now and a RX to take if/when i get one. sometimes i think it would be better just to yank my head off... however that would be my demise. 

christmas has crept... no, sprang upon me with great force. 2 weeks until the day and i have purchased one gift. 

as much as i love taking pictures, sometimes i am just no so certain about this photography business thing. i just feel so inadequate. blah blah BLAH! where did my photography confidence  go? i say the grinch stole it...

speaking of which... i don't get to watch that with the special ones tomorrow due to school being out... let me weigh what is better and what i can live without. done. 

i think i am going to go read some more of new moon... which is really quite depressing... i am just hopeful for edward's return. it has to come. :-)

and i think i am done ranting now. thanks. bye. 

a list...

because there is no time for something lengthy. 

* i am exhausted.

* i can't put twilight down. this morning i said i would just read one more page... yeah right. 

            [twilight reading schedule today:

                                      6:25-6:50 read "one more" page

                                      10:30-11:15 read lots more

                                      12:15-12:45 read more

                                      3:00-3:15 read more.. and sadly put it away to go home. i could of sat at school for another hour completely  engulfed. ]

* i have so many pictures to edit. and twilight isn't helping that. ;-)

* i am feeling  a bit discouraged about my photography. i know several people starting out their photography businesses and they are amazing. i feel as though i just can't compete... 

* sometimes, like today, i just don't feel special. and no amount of serotonin can help that. 

* my dog is weird. 

* mexican food or chocolate milk might make me slightly more happy. 

* i really need to get to work... 

growing up.

so, where exactly has november gone? and 2008 for that matter... this has been a crazy month. i can say that i am throughly looking forward to having next week off. 

i am getting extremely excited about thanksgiving this year, as i will be cooking my very first thanksgiving meal. i have already bought my turkey! i can't wait to start cooking next thursday and spend time with my family. i hope that it is a success :-) makes me feel so grown up! 

i think the theme of my life for the past few weeks has been just that... growing up. you know, being a big girl. i have been considering a big trip, the out of the country kind... and i have never been outside the US! i would have to fly all alone... so scary and yet so exciting! and i need to decide... like yesterday. but really... i do. growing up. 

and i thought i came to my decision last week. but then, i had a bit of an emergency situation. friday morning, i got a phone call that my precious little buddy was being taken to the ER. i felt pretty helpless and panicked as i drove to the hospital. when i arrived, he had regained consciousness and looked about pitiful in his oversized hospital gown. my heart broke to hear him cry in pain... as i cuddled him i knew that what i felt was similar to what a mother must feel in those situations. he is my best friend... my favorite 7 year old... and like a child to me. working with him everyday makes my heart just fall in love with him. he is great. and as i sat there with him all i wanted was to make him feel better. and now, he is back to being the fun loving michael... and i am ever so cautious with him... just like a mother ;-) ... growing up. 

saturday i have a wedding to shoot... it is almost 2 hours away. it will be a l-o-n-g day. and i better bring my good attitude. :-) having your own business= growing up. 

so. there you have it. here's to hoping sunday gets here fast. yay fall break! 

good ol' W.

i think that this is a great article. 

and i am definitely going to miss the humor bush brings me. the random dancing, squinty eyes, and how he amuses himself with his lil jokes in speeches. i would love to meet him. and have him make me laugh. he should be my grandpa. haha

that's all. 

just a little politics... dos

today the children in michael's kindergarten class had to choose what candidate they would vote for if they could. i found this humorous because i already assumed what the outcome would be. and wouldn't you believe it! that obama is just as popular among a group of 5 year olds! as soon as the teacher pulled out his picture all the children exclaimed, "barack obama"! wow. and like two kids were like, "john mccain" when his picture was shown. of course, most of this is due to who the parents are for in their homes. but... i find it startling that he is so popular among these children... just like he is in the rest of America. i am afraid it will be that way on election day as well. just going with the popular choice... all i can hope for is that they are all informed voters. but i digress...

a lot of people at work don't talk about who they are for. in our generation, i feel like that is a pretty open topic. on my facebook page i clearly display that i am for mccain. and i am ok with that. in 2004, i clearly displayed a "W" sticker on my car. i am proud and thankful to vote. and i am ok sharing my opinion about who i am voting for. in our generation, i feel that this need to keep that private is changing. and i think that can definitely be a good thing. i think having an opinion and sharing that opinion can help spread the desire to vote and inform people about this issues. i always enjoying hearing why someone has chosen to support a certain candidate. i think it is interesting. i also like sharing my opinion with others... in hopes i can shine some light on something that i feel is important and maybe they can see it too. i wish i could talk to people at work about the election, but they are all just so darn secretive about it! but i guess i can understand why they might not want to get into politics because of possible judgement or heated debates. but i say, let's be honest. it's just politics :-)

but... going back to the kids... and to brighten up what may be a dreadfully boring post... little michael chose obama. and i found this hysterical. ultra republican family... with the son that chose obama... it was clearly a peer pressure decision by ACORN (a coercing organization rallying nonsense) ;-)
