Completely overdue posting...
Gosh, I swear I'm on here often reading my friends pages but I never update mine. (I do believe I start every post like this)
Life has been amazing and busy and crazy. The most exciting thing in my life right now: I called yesterday to set up the appointment for the breast augmentation in May and I put $500 down. I guess its pretty set in stone now and I'm crazy excited and crazy scared.
As I do just about every month, I've started a new hobby. Jewelry. Its definitely an unusual style but its mostly using shells, sea glass, and coral that I find around on the beach. Somewhat of a tribute to this amazing island. I got a Dremel and learning by trial and error about what I can drill through. I'm still sewing and doing the photography but both are kind of on the back burner (knitting is barely even thought about these days though I have TONS of yarn) as I learn this new trade. It should be interesting when the silver chains and accessories arrive in the mail. Again, trial and error.
I have a wedding to photograph in two weeks and I'm quite nervous. I've always sworn against weddings but its a semi-friend and I said yes. Hey, It might be something I fall head over heels for...haha, that is not happening. I have a family photo shoot in a month and it feels good to be getting back into it. The only thing I've done in the last 6 months is a Welcome Home Photo Shoot with a family greeting Dad back from Iraq. That was hard with all the candids and insanely bright sun but good practice for the wedding. I don't even think I'm getting paid to do this wedding, grr. I'm way too nice. If it was a close friend, I would do it for free no problem but a semi-friend...We havent actually talked about money yet but I'm hoping to set up a meeting and finalize and maybe then I will have the balls to ask for something.
I'm back in school though nothing too time consuming or mind consuming. Its a stupid required one credit class on research. January starts the time/mind consuming shit. I don't think I'm looking forward to that. I am, however, looking forward to having a degree in 20 years when I finally finish my college. I'm seriously on the 20 year track for graduation. We all have our aspirations, right?
Ciao for now,
MS
