Blogging

I was just looking at my blog. In 2007 I blogged 329 times! Holy shit that is like almost a blog a day. So far this year I have blogged only 20 times. it's really facebook's fault. But I have to admit there are times when I do miss writing, especially since I am not taking any classes right now and I actually do miss writing papers and essays and doing projects. I also miss reading everyone else's blogs... freakin' facebook. There is a huge difference between reading someone's rambling writings and reading one witty (not not-so-witty) thing a day that they feel like sharing. (Rick being the exception to this... of course. He FB posts just like he used to blog LOL)

I am camera researching/window shopping. My camera just isn't cuttin' the mustard anymore.  It's terrible in even slightly low light, and it's just not fast enough.  We are doing more and more photo shoots lately, and I have enough of an inferiority complex about my photography as it is without adding in the fact that I know that I am going to be battling with my camera through the whole shoot.

P.S.  How freakin' cute is my niece!!!!!!?????

Football, Soccer, Weddings, and MORE!!

FOOTBALL IS BACK!!  J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!

The busy time of year has arrived. The kids are back in school. All the sports have started. Jessi is rockin' the field hockey stick again this year and Sean is giving soccer a try. Not only is SEAN giving soccer a try... but _I_ somehow allowed myself into getting roped into coaching his team... so MOM is giving soccer a try as well. It's actually been VERY fun so far. At first Sean was VERY reluctant to play soccer (as in... I forced him and bribed him to play), but after his first game this weekend, he actually THANKED ME for making him play and says he wants to play EVERY YEAR. And coaching has been fun too! Thank goodness the parents of the kids on my team understand that 'it takes a village.' ;-)

Tom and Jody are MARRIED! YAY THEM!! :) The wedding was absolutely perfect and SO FUN!! I am so happy for them!! Nicole and Jessi and I did the photography. Nicole did most of the heavy lifting though, since I was in the ceremony. Much props to her!! She rules!!

Speaking of our photography... we actually started a website for it since we seem to get more and more jobs trickling in. So that's kind of exciting too :)

OK OK. That post was a little dramatic

I have gone for a run, cleared my head, and all is well.  Weird how that happens.  In all honesty... obviously I feel fantastic.  While on my run tonight a lady on my run route stopped and waited for me while getting her mail to tell me that she sees me out running all the time and always says to herself "YOU GO GIRL!!!"

I am wearing the smallest size I have worn since college, my husband can't keep his hands off me and I have NOTHING to complain about.

I thought about deleting that other post... but... I'm all about keepin' it real.  And crazy IS my real ;-)

Moral of my post....

-Say nice things to strangers, you may make their day!
-If you feel like you want to kill someone, and like the whole world hates you... go for a walk...run.... skip... hop.... bike ride....

Disenchanted for no reason whatsoever.

Wow,  I may have become the ultimate blog slacker.

I am still on my "no eating all day plan" ...but I am a little "eh" about it today.  I have lost 17-20 pounds, depending on the scale and the time of day.  It's been 11 weeks.  That's an average of around 1.5 pounds a week.  I could've done that without these drastic measures.  Probably.  For some reason this is easier to stick to.  And I am not a Nazi about it on the weekends and stuff, so it just seems easy.   I think maybe it's because I have no self control.  So by not allowing myself to eat all day, and only eating one meal, I never get on the slippery slope of "Oh well... already ruined the whole day... may as well eat whatever I want.

I am also a bit 'eh' with life in general right now.  Ok... today.  And again... for no reason really.  OK... there is a reason, and I know what it is.  There is a lot going on with all the people in my life, and I have no control over any of it, and I feel helpless and lost.  And even though I know that everyone has their own shit going on, and frankly like I care a lot more about a lot of people in my life than they do about me.  That may be completely untrue and unreasonable, but this is my blog and I'll whine if I want to.  I'm sure everyone must feel like this from time-to-time.... right?

Wow... Can you believe that I DON'T have PMS!?  ;-)

Anyhoo.  I don't want to end on a yucky note.  The kids are back to school this week, YAY!!  Sean's first day was today and he says it was a great day!  Jessi goes back tomorrow and is looking very forward to it. AND FOOTBALL STARTS THIS WEEKEND!!!!!  WOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Oh yeah... and I got a promotion at work, which I love, and am excited about... but certainly is playing into my dramatic mood right now.  Change is hard... and tis the time of year for change.
