Another day another nickel...

Yeah here we are another day at the happiest place on Earth minus the rides. Not! Well, time will tell if I find something else to do in the meantime I guess I am stuck or until they really tick me off & I quit. Which is kind of likely considering the mood I am in. Just tired of being taken advantage of & putting up with the Drama Q. I saw a shirt at Target last night & I almost bought it. "Save the Drama for your Mama" How fitting that would have been. Oh well. School tonight. Also Liz & Homer will be leaving this week. We all had dinner together last night so here are some pics.

Ahh Monday is done now to get on with the rest of the week!

You never like to wish away the days, but sometimes on Mondays you do find yourself wishing it was any other day than that one. So today I went in to work early as I was told we would be having a sales meeting via Skype with the Mexico Sales Dept & ours. Yep 2nd Monday in a row I went into work early for a meeting that never materialized. Hmmm... Are they testing me to get me into work earlier??? I think tomorrow I start my first class for digital photography and I have no idea where to go & I need to buy a parking pass. Ugh! Oh well it means I will be leaving work around 3pm on Tues & Thurs for the next 8wks. Yippee. The job market here is pretty sucky unless you are willing to commute 45min to an hour to Santa Barbara. I would love it down there to work if the drive wasn't so long. My friend Liz is finishing the last week of her Lompoc Sentence & then off to Louisiana she will go with her family. Meanwhile back at the ranch Ginger will hopefully be here till we leave at the same time. Hopefully she won't get time off for good behavior or anything like that! Mitzi should be coming to town as this is the week for Flower Festival. Maybe I will go this year as I have never gotten around to it that last 2 years. Always time for a first. On another note I talked to my friend Kim this week she is the one in the middle. She wants to come for a visit next year as this year will be her 40th birthday. Funny how things change & you are caught in the middle between two friends not really understanding why the 2 of them no longer speak. We used to be the 3 Amigas & now it's hang out with one or the other when I go home & always one will get the short end where my time is concerned as family does take priority. The funny thing about friendships even when our friends hurt our feelings aren't we supposed to forgive them & work thru it? why do some choose to shut down & turn away from those that care about them? It can be a great mystery to those that are left behind in the wake. I think everyone should be entitled to closure.

Well the weekend is almost over.

Here I sit at the end of the weekend updating my blog. Today we went to a car show in Pismo Beach. There were a lot of cool cars there. A few I would not mind having myself. Finished up proofing Zenia's wedding shots & another shoot. Hung up a flyer in the post office for some possible business. Now I just need to get in gear & get that website done. Joined myspace & I am adding friends as I go! Hee Hee Hee! Weird to see an ex-boyfriend on there. Strange but true. Oh well. Time for bed as I have an 8am conference call in the morning for work. Yippeeee! That was sarcastic of course. Until another day.

Live Like You Were Dying

That is one of my favorite songs by Tim McGraw. I think we sometimes get so tied up in the goings in & goings on that we forget that each day is a gift. So what if my friend doesn't want me to come take pictures for her wedding. Someone else will. Just because you want to give people a gift of yourself doesn't mean they want to accept it. Sometimes you just have to let go & move on. So today is a new day. I am running behind...but I leave you with this. When you were a kid & they picked you last for kick ball doesn't mean the others were better...they were just saving the best for last.

Ever thought you were alone & no one was watching...

Then you turned around & someone was staring right at you? Yeah since the husband wont pose for me I was doing some self portraits in the back yard next to the fence with a window behind me. After a couple of snaps I turn around to see this face in the window staring at me! I let out a little scream! It was the husband. Just for that I did make him come out so I could snap some of him too. He of course feels the need for the EXTREME CLOSE UP! So here are two I liked. Went to a birthday party yesterday for Ethan, who turned 1 year old with a baby sister on the way in August. Should be exciting! Got a cute one from that too. This afternoon I will have some of another little guy should be a cute shoot if it is not too windy.

Laugh Every Day

I think the best thing you can do is to laugh. The next best thing is to capture that moment on film or memory card for the digital crowd! I think a picture of someone laughing captures who they are & shows you their spirit. For instance I took a picture this weekend of my friend Kathy. She is 61 & looks great I think. She also reminds me of Doris Day. So please don't eat the daisies! LOL! It's been a busy week and I for one am glad it is winding down. I spent too much time with co-workers & not enough with friends. One of my best buds from work & outside of work is moving. June 15th is the day they will pack up her stuff for Louisiana. She has been generous enough to share her family & awesome Texas cooking with me. I will miss her so. She has been paroled from this town finally. So I am happy that at least she gets to go to a town with real shopping & places to eat without having to drive 30 min or more. Well I need to update this thing more often I just run out of time. :)
