Hello my favorite bloggy friends! I hope you are all having a fantastic week! I have had a case of the “Monday’s” and been dealing with a nasty little sinus infection that I can’t get rid of, so I’ve been a bit ‘out’ of it lately. I apologize. I’ve been reading your blogs, even if I haven’t been commenting that much. I’ll catch up soon! I promise! Since I’ve been so vacant lately as far as my writing is concerned, I thought I owed you guys a little bit of a random brain dump. 🙂 I know you love it, so here goes:
I am totally and completely in love with my new camera! I am determined to learn as much as I can, as fast as I can so that I can do more with it. I’ve never liked being mediocre and I refuse to sit around and just be ‘okay’ and photography. Just like blogging & writing, this is something that I really, really enjoy and I want to exceed the norm. {If you would like to see my progress, check out my other blog, devoted to nothing but photography}
I also ordered my Shey [B] camera strap today! Hopefully it will be here soon because I am more than excited about it. There were soooo many cute ones to choose from, but me being an Alabama girl, I special ordered one with Houndstooth & a Crimson Accent. Can. Not. Wait.
I received my first paying advertise on my blog today. 🙂 You can check it out in the left sidebar!
I have felt like absolute garbage the past 2 days.Really. Total and complete crap. My head is stuffy,, resulting in a much unwelcome headache. My sinuses are attempting to drain, but obviously aren’t doing it properly…resulting in more sinus pressure. Yuck. I hate being. It ruins my week. I was able to catch a 3 hour nap today when Little Man layed down. Which was absolutely glorious.
I did up the good wife thing today, just because I was feeling exceptionally thankful for my wonderful husband. They’ve had some kind of inspection thingy at work this week and he’s been late 2 nights. I had supper on the table {or near about it} and ready when he walked in the door. Last night was Baked Fish & Grits…tonight I did Chicken Taco’s [his favorite]. Yay me 🙂
I am at 176 blog followers and I couldn’t be happier! I can not express how excited it makes me when I see someone new has stopped by, liked what they saw and decided I was worth reading. I try so hard to get around to each and every blog and especially everyone who comments me. Just know that you guys are appreciated! Very, very much!
I am so ready for the weekend. The weather is supposed to warm up and we are taking Little Man down to the beach so I can take some pictures. I’ve been reading and studying like a nut case during the day time, so I’m hoping to catch some really great photos. Also, hubby is already talking about buying me my first additional lense either the 1st or the 15th when we get paid. I love that man. He’s so great! 🙂
I’ve had Monica and her sweet little boy on my heart all day today. He’s been having a really hard time getting over that nasty stomach flu that everyone had here a few weeks back. They are having to put him under and use a camera to look at his stomach, so if you guys would head over and let her know that you are thinking about her. Her little boy is such a doll and I hate it when kids are hurting.
I’m not really getting too into the Olympics. I used to watch the Figure Skating growing up, but I’m not too concerned anymore. Whatever. Just something else to take over my television at night. Hubby is digging that “Curling” stuff…I’ve never seen it, but he watched it last night and it’s on TV right now as I speak. Never even knew what it was…never even heard of it…not too into it now. Yawn. LOL 🙂
Is anyone out there watching “Grey’s Anatomy?!” I read all of these posts on Tuesday about “The Bachelor” and I’m kinda bummed that Grey’s isn’t getting any love. I think I’ll write my own recap post on Friday. Maybe even add a MckLinky if anyone thinks they want to post their own and join in. I felt so bad for Mark Sloan last week. Poor guy really wanted to be a grand-dad and then Sloan has to go screw that up. Not happy. Not happy at all. And I’m a little concerned that Meredith and Derek may be heading for rough waters with him being chief now and all that. We shall see…
Ok. For tonight, I guess that’s all. I’m about to go grab myself a bowl of Special K for a snack. I wasn’t hungry at supper, so I’m going to try not over indulge myself and eat cereal instead of a giant piece of Oreo Pie. Good night everyone!
