things that make me, me.

I AM … so blessed.
I WANT… to sleep for an entire day and not feel bad about it.
I HAVE … a lot of things that I enjoy doing.
I KEEP … the fridge stocked with sugar free red bull and string cheese.
I WISH I COULD …make myself be a morning person.
I HATE … to drive in the rain.
I FEAR … I forget to make time for the important things.
I HEAR … the music that’s always in my head.
I DON’T THINK … that I’ll ever be able to wake up and make the bed regularly.
I REGRET … that I don’t work out like i should.
I LOVE … russ & all of the little quirky things that make him, him. Chili’s chocolate molten lava cakes. When I walk in the door and here “cherry!!!!” from little voices.
I AM NOT … going to be upset about not being able to sleep in tomorrow. or the next day, or the next.
I DANCE … not often enough.
I SING … really, really loud. Like, all of the time. Not only when I’m by myself.
I NEVER … watch commercials, thanks to our trusty tivo.
I RARELY … skip out on sushi.
I CRY WHEN I WATCH … other people cry. Or when I get really mad.
I’ M NOT ALWAYS … on time.
I HATE THAT … when I give blood or get a shot I always pass out. Never fails.
I’M CONFUSED ABOUT … the whole “do as I say, not as I do” rule. Who came up with that anyway.
I NEED … to make grocery shopping a regular thing.
I SHOULD … really wake up early everyday and drink coffee while watching the news or checking email. But, do I really think that will ever happen? Um. Probably not… but, what a wonderful idea.

Here's our Fall Limited Edition info!

(click on image to view it larger... and just to letcha know, we've already started booking... so hurry and book before it fills up!)

thought it was time to introduce the other man in my life...

this is moses ;)

(click on image to see larger)

i brought the studio lights to my house for the storm... figured it would be a good time for me to shoot Moses' first session.

i've had a few pets in my life. but, he's definitely one of a kind. an extremely strange personality...

hhhhmmmmmm... kinda sound familiar?? :) HA!

This is baby moses... a day or so after he "found us"... July 23rd, 2005.

he was so teeny tiny... my finger nail was bigger than his noes and mouth! oh, how they grow up so fast! lol!

out of the studio...

... we're headed out of town for my birthday

(which is in about 15 minutes... just thought i'd throw that in!)

:)

wwhhhoooo hooooooo!

Be back monday.

all calls & emails will be returned when i get back!

...electricity is a wonderful thing...

...you never really sit and think about until you don't have it... right!?!?

well. we made it through Gustav with only some minor wind damage. our fence at our house is laying on the ground and the yard at the studio looks like someone sprinkled green confetti everywhere... we're VERY lucky. there are trees down EVERYWHERE and the roads are a mess. Russ & i stayed with some friends in Central who have a generator... it was kinda like a mini vacation.

we were only without power for 2 days. but, i heard earlier on the news that 72% of Baton Rouge is still without electricity... and some area's are estimated to be without for weeks.

um. and yeah, the mosquito's are absolutely ridiculous!!! my legs look like i have a mild case of chicken pox... and they're saying that they'll only get worse... oh joy.

we'll be back in the studio monday (the 8th) for everyone that's wanting to get out... i know sitting around looking at each other gets a little lame... lol...
let me know if you want to come by. i'll probably spend most of the day calling clients - so just leave a message and i'll call ya back!

...looks like i'll be pulling the rain boots out!

doesn't really look very promising for us... now does it!?!??

As of today we still have appointments scheduled Tues-Thurs...
we'll be headed out of town again (for my BIRTHDAY!! YAY!!) on Friday
We're completely playing everything by ear - for obvious reason's, um... like we might not have power or we might need a boat to get to the studio... you know... things like that ;)

so. if you have an appointment with me during those days i suggest calling to confirm that we're still on. it's possible that i wont have computer access to check emails, so calling will be the best way to get in touch!
also. if your waiting to hear from me about your order being in or whatnot i will call you as soon as things settle down - hopefully Tues :)
I hope everyone has a FAB labor day weekend and stays safe through Gustav's arrival...
