Life is amazing
I am going to live my life being as happy as I can be. If I'm doing something that's not making me happy, I am going to change things so that I am.

Man I wish I knew someone who had nothing to do and wanted to sit outside and drink some beer with me. I'm leaving work early and just wanna drink some beer out in the sun since its SOOO nice out! Both my girls up here are working so that sucks.
Hope everyone has an excellent Memorial's Day weekend! No work Monday!!!
Download "Alcohol" by Brad Paisley. I love it!!
Okay so I took Libby back home with me last night...
I felt so bad that she was whining all day and that it was kind of cold and the forecast said it would rain last night, so I took her back home with me. She's going back today or tomorrow though because its supposed to be a pretty decent weekend.
I was thinking the hay thing, too. Some hay bales and a tarp over it or something? Guess we'll see. My mom told me yesterday that she doesnt think she'll even live to see winter when we were discussing what I'd do with her then. What a pessimist! Well she said that or she'd go find a new home. But that damn cat got back to my house and pissed outside of the box! So today or tomorrow, she's back outside.
Okay well I'm off to get some work done.
Alright so I'm at my parents house, doing laundry, and I released Libby out into their backyard. At first she seemed kind of alright with it, but she's really NOT impressed with the rain. I feel so bad that the weather has to suck so much on her first day outside. We are still going to feed her and whatnot, just not let her inside. I think that is a pretty fair deal.
Of course I'm gonna be thinking about her tonight, all alone outside. It really sucks. I think once she gets used to it everything will be fine. I just need to come up with something so she can go inside it and be warm and stuff. Any suggestions?
I hope Jagger doesn't get lonely. He will probably be fine, but he's always had a playmate so I guess we'll see about that. We may get a new cat if he starts acting weird/sad/lonely. I don't know if I want to get attached to another animal though because it sucks when it doesnt work out.
Alright well, I'll probably post tomorrow while I'm at work if I get a break. Have a good night :)
Wow, finally I am busy.
This past weekend was great. I photographed an engagement session with passport photos thrown in :), shot some costumed Tulip Festival goers, and did a family portrait session. Also went to May Day and to see the town play The Wizard of Oz. My cousin was Glinda the good witch and she was sooo cute :) she was also the May Queen so that made May Day more fun. Anyway, I also handed out a lot of business cards this weekend, and even had someone call me this morning for some future sessions. Things are looking pretty good! But I'm incredibly busy and need to get back to work--
Right at this moment, from this point of view, everything seems like its on the right track. Its insane how much things change day to day...things seem well here at work and at home.
A few things that turned my day happy yesterday:
* went to a new salon for a haircut [ its in my building, and the lady who runs it seems really cool ], which is always fun to get your haircut, makes ya feel pretty for a day [ even when they over-pouf my hair ]
* said salon-owner is coming over today to have a mini consultation about doing her and her 2 sons family portrait
* I bought a $3 lotto ticket and won $60
* I went shopping with my mom, usually anytime I hang out with my mom I get happy
* I came home from shopping and Jason had dinner just about done already
* it was a good cuddling, relaxing night
* Bo's a capella song, that was pretty cool, and then he did a Stones song...which should have been a different RS song but thats alright I guess.
Yeah I guess thats a decent happy recap. I'm just happy as a pig in shit right now :). Now I have to get to work on some things for this weekend!
Before I do go though, I heard this song on Sirius on my way to work, it was kind of a hokey tune but the lyrics were great...
When you cry be sure to dry your eyes, 'cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile be sure to smile wide, and don't let them know that they have won.
And when you walk, walk with pride, and don't show the hurt inside, because the pain will soon be gone.
Chorus:
And when you dream, dream big, as big as the ocean blue.
Cause when you dream it might come true.
When you dream, dream big.
And when you laugh be sure to laugh out loud, 'cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself, and it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on when the troubles come your way.
Somethings happenin' here, what it is ain't exactly clear...
That's how I feel. Things are either gonna get back to good or go to shit very soon. Its an ominous sort of feeling. And to think that this applies to just about every area in my life is a little scary. Updates to follow...
Okay so here's the deal with Libby...
She's been doing the pee thing off and on since she was about 6 months old...and she is now 3 years old. I know I sound disgusting for keeping her but its never been too awful. I decided to take her to the vet yesterday and he gave me all kinds of stuff to maybe work this thing out. And I'm thinking since we have only lived in the apartment a few weeks maybe now is the time I can break her of it. He said she doesnt have any health problems and that its probably a mental issue.
So along with some "happy pills" to adjust her attitude, some pheromone spray and some urine breakdown spray, I picked up another litter box and put it in the other corner she was peeing in. So far so good. I'm pretty sure she's only used the litter box since her visit to the vet. I really hope this trend continues FOREVER, but sometimes she is so sneaky about where she pees that I don't find it for a really long time. Otherwise I can only keep her til these pills run out ( about 3 weeks ). But they say it takes people something like 21 days to break or form a habit, so maybe its the same with cats and this will all work out.
My mood has improved greatly just from taking her to the vet. I was feeling really depressed for about a week now but yesterday and today I feel better. I was hoping she was the only reason I was feeling like that. Well, besides sitting around in my studio all day with nothing to do, thats a bit discouraging, too. But I know it takes time to start a business and I need to get over it, then I'll feel fine.
Alright well I'm off for now. Maybe more to come if I'm dying of boredom here. Have a nice weekend everyone!
Welp, today I'm getting rid of my cat :( Anyone want a cat? I don't know if I'm going to set her free outside somewhere, put her to sleep or take her to the humane society. It sucks. I wish I knew someone who wanted an outdoor cat or something. Shes never been outside though but now that she's constantly peeing outside of the litter box she's gotta go. It's so sad...and its gonna be so hard.
Just enough time to type up a post before heading out the door into the great weather outside!
I'm freezing here in my little studio. If I turn the heat on it gets way too hot and if I turn it to medium, well, I freeze. Oh well.
So life in the apartment is going well, at least it is on my side of seeing things. Hopefully he feels the same way. My moodiness is beginning to wear off for the week and I can't wait for the weekend. Nice weather, mothers day dinner, and just chilling out around the apartment. We got invited into our own yard for a party. Sounds odd, right? But its just the neighbors being nice. One of the two guys that we met came over last night and told us they were having a fire party Saturday night and that we were invited to come sit and drink beer with them. So that'll be nice, getting to meet the other people in our building. There are only 8 of us, but its all young couples so thats pretty cool.
We got the stove on Tuesday...its GREAT. They delivered the wrong stove. Not really wrong, just the wrong color. We ordered black and white [ ugly, but it was 50 bucks cheaper than a solid color ], but they delivered a "bisque" colored one. It looks pretty good with the rest of the kitchen, so that all made me pretty happy. Jason cooked a really yummy dinner on it for the first night of having it. Maybe I'll learn how to cook well if I pay attention to what he's doing. Ha, I can dream! I'm not a terrible cook, I'm just not experienced enough I think.
Alrighty I'm gonna finish up here and head home. Have a fantastic weekend!
Welp, I had my first meeting with a client in my studio :). Went pretty well, except for the fact that I'm getting my furniture tomorrow for that kind of stuff. [ A cool looking bar table and 2 stools ] So today alone I booked a wedding reception in August and a senior portrait session for the end of July. So feeling somewhat accomplished and satisfied, I'm leaving early! Although I did just take a 3 hour lunch! Woops. But I was catching up with my cousin for a while, so that was nice.
Tomorrow is THE day. We get a stove -and- cable. It'll be heaven :P We got the fridge last Friday so thats taken care of. We can start eating like normal people tomorrow. I look forward to that. And Jason likes to cook so I'm soooo excited now :) I feel so domestically challenged. Like I can't do anything right. Which is odd because I have lived on my own before so I don't know whats going on. Maybe because Jason just seems to be good at everything. I dunno.
Well I've got a headache, big surprise, so I'm outta here. Have a good one!
Wow I feel as if I just drove through three seasons. It started out as snow as I made my way to my car. At the edge of the dark clouds in the sky it turned to rain. Then I had to put my sunglasses on because the sun was shining like a champ. Whoo wee, what odd weather we've got going on!
