2-fer
And catching-up from several months of not blogging:
Air Force:
Nope… not gonna happen for me. Am I sad? A little. Am I glad? A little bit more glad than I am sad. I’m not so sure I am cut out to be IN the military. Oh, I could do it. I just don’t want to. I’m spoiled and lazy; and I know this. I know this now more than ever since I couldn’t even lose 10 stinkin’ pounds to make my “goal” weight. Humiliating... but I’m not bitter. I know this wasn’t for me because if it was, I would have chosen it long ago, or I would not have had to jump through my self-imposed fiery hoops to make some lousy weight-loss goal—I would have already BEEN thin enough. Plus, everything happens for a reason (one of my favorite life-mantras); and this didn’t happen for a reason.
Kid’s say the darndest:
My Hubby (singing): “I’m-a-be- I’m-a-be- I’m-a-be”
Our child (singing): “I’m-a-be-bumble-bee-I’m-a-be-bumble-bee”
School:
My kid’s birthday is the last day of the school year cut off: 8/31. Here children have to be 5 before 9/1 to start school. My kid barely made it. We thought about letting our little sponge-of-knowledge sit out the first year. But, back in April we received a letter from the daycare saying the whining was too much and we had 2 weeks to find another sitter. In a scramble we found one that is conveniently located between mine and my husband’s office. Although this daycare is more convenient, there are 16x more kids the same age as our child. So, we thought we would try school this year… School starts 8/12.
Weight-loss:
Well, this is more about NOT being a vegetarian. I guess this is just one more thing I will not be doing this year. I still want to. I KNOW it is tons more healthy for me and I would probably lose weight if I stopped eating beef… well, meat, in general. I’m not good a cooking beans. Everything I try… fails. Miserably. I want to learn how to can/jar fruits and veggies. In my mind, that goes along with being vegetarian—it’s just the next logical step. I’m completely open for someone to help me get started… like send me links to sites that articulate clearly in a step by step way to slowly remove meats and slow add other protein sources. My husband won’t eat a lot of soy meats… so, what else can I do, besides beans?
Ok… enough rambling. It’s time to go soothe my killer sore throat.
Sheesh… it REALLY hurts. :(

Fire cracker
The weather has been too hot to go outside.
There are tar balls on every beach within driving distance.
So, I’ve been hanging out with the wee-one and now we share the same cold.
Lovely.
Seems odd to feel feverish, achy, with a sore throat so sore you can barely swallow.
The chest and sinus congestion are imminent.
Maybe next week will be better.
I have a few maternity session images remaining to edit.
My last wedding is DONE. Until the bride decides she’s ready for her proof book.
(Secretly I hope she never calls me.)
I never get good shots of fireworks. It’s not that I don’t know how.
Oh, no. I know how. I just never bring everything I need, i.e. my tripod.
And between my lap and my husband’s lap our child never finds the “perfect” spot.
But here is my favorite:
I’d like to think that next we I will get better images.
Alas… nothing with ever compare the Independence day of 2009:
National Mall, Washington, D.C.

WILD!!!
I've been couponing and like most "hobbies" I adopt, I have become OCD about the whole experience.
In my OCD of organzing and making everything simple, I have lost my binder with this week's coupons and ads. It's upseting because there were some store credits in there that are lost. I have gone back to the store multiple times inquiring if someone has turned it in. My name, contact info and reward if found are included within the documentation. Alas... still missing. :(
One site I have found and really enjoy, in addition to a couple others, is http://www.wildforwags.com/. Christy over at WildForWags posts deals and sales for Walgreens. I love this site because she gives scenario ideas with and without Register Rewards. She also has prizes she gives away... This week, she is giving away $25 in Register Rewards. This will come in VERY handy considering I have lost all of mine.

500 Photographers
Someone must have been reading my mind. I was thinking it would be great to have one place where I could find some awesome photography (aside from my own portolio, of course)...
And here it is... Pieter Wisse has done it.
For 100 weeks five photographers will be featured weekly in his latest blog created April 10, 2010.
Maybe you will see my work one day. :)

Maybe it is me...
Recently, I've been getting the feeling people, in general, do not like me.
It became realized today when I joined a "mom" forum.
As customary, I posted an introduction in the "Pleased to meet you" section...

Since I signed up, other people have also posted "New here" threads...
