Blog Police?

Bleh Bleh….. I know, I’m getting grief from the blog police for being absent for EVER! Yeah I got that! Ok, so I SUCK at blogging. No surprise. Hell, I’m admitting it freely……. I’m visual and my words come from my photos.. so blogging isn’t at the top of my ‘YAY! Guess what I want to do today list?’….Ok, I’m bitching…. my husband knows that voice all too well. So once I have acknowledged my slackness (Ok, and let me just express here, I’m really NOT a slacker – I’ve been making albums and getting ready to launch something new and exciting and all my free time – all those 10 minutes in any given day- have been devoted to these projects!)…..There. I’ve purged. I’ve confessed. All is better now! [That's all]!!  – I will just laugh and say, I went to log in to post here and TOTALLY forgot all my passwords and my url– uh huh, it’s been a while. Sue me already.

 

First of all, I have some favorites that I want to share with you.  This is the song/group I listen to when I edit. I *heart* this group… Gold frapp Oooh La La  

One of my most favorite reads…when I used to have time to read. Is Ken Follett, ‘A Place called Freedom’. A girlfriend had to read it for an assignment and I just thought it looked good…  read it and instantly became a Ken Follett fan. He really is a great author. And I don’t get much of a chance to read, but if I do get a moment I do NOT want to be bored to tears with a Nicholas Sparks wine fest….. I liked the ‘Notebook.’ but I read ‘A bend in the road’ by him. Gag. Seriously, it was Sooo predictable that I could barely believe I wasted my time on it. 

Something else I love is astrology. Ok, let me verify – I am not a fanatic about it~! I’m not a new age weirdo, but I do think it’s interesting. AND…. I know that my sign is VERY MUCH similar to my personality.

  • Strong-willed, stubborn, obstinate (My poor mother used to hate dealing w my stubborn streak)
  • Very opinionated, (I resemble that.)
  • Far-sighted, visionary, revolutionary (Still waiting on my revolutionary moment)
  • Original, innovative and inventive (I’d like to think so?)
  • Tolerant of other views, seeing both sides of the argument, unprejudiced and (always thought I’d be the worlds WORST judge. I see everyone’s side of a disagreement.)
  • Humane, humanitarian, altruistic (check)
  • Idealistic, having high expectations (makes second shooters HATE working w me)
  • Free-spirited, rebellious (Umm, got to the point, I could work for no one but me.. for various reasons. I have high expectations and I have little tolerance for anything less than great)
  • Independent and individualistic (Uh huh)
  • Intelligent, intellectual, curious and seeking mental challenge.Yes, get bored way too easily!
  • Very clever, witty (?)
  • Imaginative and Intuitive (Very intuitive.)
  • Unwilling to participate in any standard of protocol (Unwilling is a strong word. Kicking and screaming? That seems more realistic.)
Some famous Aquarians are.. Ronald Reagan, Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Anniston. 
Do you really care? Maybe not.  Eccentric? Laughing. Eh. just a little. I’ve never really followed everyone else’s rules of what is right or wrong. But that doesn’t make me different. I remember when I was younger everyone used to say.. ‘She definitely beats a different drum.’ And I had no clue what that meant back then. I thought they were all delirious, because I certainly didn’t travel around with a drum.? I guess even then I stayed on my own path in life. I don’t and never have let anyone else influence what I wanted and what it took to get there. I was never the kid in high school peer pressured into smoking pot behind the bleachers at school. I was an artsy fartsy nerdy type. I think. And I think I still may be. Holy Crap! I’ve still not grown up.
And since I’m talking about my idiosyncracies:  I have a fetish with shoes. Always have. When I was little, I hoarded shoes from my female family members. When I was in high school, I was the Asst Mgr for a shoe store in my town. I’ve always had love for shoes. But I hate tie shoes. So, I buy hiking mocs and cowboy boots. Pretty much live in them. Here’s my newest fav. 
And I couldn’t quite go to sleep tonight unless I also professed my love for tacky, tasteless cowboy/girl boots. I want every color, every style to wear with every tacky outfit I somehow seem to toss together out of my lackluster closet.  Which is full of black, brown and white…… Oh, puhleese. I’m a wedding photographer.. I can’t exactly wear hot pink to my affairs! Ok, secretly I want to…..but I have too much respect for the bride to do that.;)

Tomme and I are both Aquarians *and* ENFPs!!!!
Wow.

Ok, Tomme. It’s your Aquarius that’s making you love shoes.
Aqua rules the ankle region.
Betcha didn’t know that! ;)

I like shoes – don’t love them.
I like clogs better than shoes (heels).
And boots. Yeah, if I had a cowboy rodeo around
where I live, I’d probably love cowboy boots.
But, I’m a boring suburbanite and the only “rodeo”
around me are boring MALLS.

Your work is soooooooooooo beautiful.
I always wanted to be a photographer but I didn’t find
that out till I was in my 40′s.
I’m in love with your work.
If my sons get married, I know who I will choose as
the photographer!

xxxooo
