So Bria and I have a difference of opinion. She thinks that honing her RAZOR sharp teeth on my chest is a good thing.

Alas I do not.

Shes very upset by my decision as that means I am mostly pumping and feeding her by bottle. Only letting her breast feed late nights when shes not thinking about biting and I’m not thinking about bottles.

This I can see is not oging to be the easy thing it was with Cammy. Oh how I miss being rejected by my infant.

almost a post almost a meme

I’m the chick that you see rockin out in her car to 80’s music and jill scott. I will dance on tables in bars. I don’t wear a watch but I would like to, I miss my bling – I was really into interesting watches. More like Bracelets with a watch involved in some way.
It has taken me seven months to get my insurance company to cover the birth of my second daughter.
yeah. I’ve had THAT kind of day.
But I was really really nice to the lady on the phone , and she really really worked hard to get it fixed for me. shes the third person I talked to, and the only one who callled back when she said she would and really really tired. So it was easy to not blow my top about the whole thing.

So today I hired a designer for the Pinxit logo,(pronunced \piŋk-sit\) picked out a website to have customized, registered for class, still gotta finish the registration process- and get cleared for online school stuff, I plan to finish the business account setup, get set up to post the pentax to craigslist this weekend or ship it off to be priced to be purchased buy an online retailer. I got some nifty books in the mail, got some cool books to start the refresher process. and excitely its all coming back to me. I talked with the professor who teaches the class I want to take and sent him some samples of my work and he said I did good work but he could definately teach me some things, and that makes me very excited.
I’ve banged out the text for the website – have a few friends looking it over giving me some feed back. Going to work on a business card once I get the logo completed.
there are countless gadgets and things – honestly USEFUL things I need to pick up – most of them however are online purchases, and I hate paying for shipping multiple times from the same place.. Totally sucks.
I need to plan some fun time for cammy and me. I had planned on getting some flowers for hte yard – but we start paying for school – for the both of us – next week and florals are the first thing on the budget chopping block, maybe I’ll get some seeds for us.
Crap I bet that includes my herbs for this year.
Being responsible sucks major.
On a way more fun note.
its a beautiful day outside and I am about to get out in it.

Love ya internets!

No risk No reward pt.II

The whole RISK part is well under way. I’ve started pulling things together. One little thing at a time. Although it didn’t feel like little things, no baby steps at chez henderson – no, I ran a jumped off a cliff.
So as I have mentioned, I am moving forward on the whole “dream a little dream” thing. Funny thing is – I have actual sessions set up, a couple of weddings secured and it looks like May is my offical launch date.
Who’d have thunk it, paid gigs.
This week I’m grabbing a logo and trying to get the site together, although I think I’ll have the blog link back to here – I like my blog and I like who I am, and I think people who hire you to document their lives should see how you document yours. Which means my headers are gonna change, Not TOTALLY change but mostly to include more than just my little wonder Cam and Bri.
Can I also say that my husband is the kind of man girls dream about? The kind of man women push towards their daughters. He has constantly been thinking and helping, being supportive pouring his ideas out, filling in the gaps for me. I don’t think this ever would have gotten past the “man I should be…” stage if not for Jerry. Not that my people who I have let in on this haven’t been AWESOME, they have – Spoken has set up chances for me to shoot people, Nana gave me lighting gifts for my birthday. (they both HAVE blogs but neither of them update often)
I expect I’ll be going to some seminars in the coming months, and I am planning to take a couple courses at the local community college, mostly cause all of my formal training is in Film SLR’s and I want to make sure I am taking full advantage of the equiptment I just sunk a large amount of my retirement into. I know how to USE it, of course I just want to PIMP THAT SHYT OUT!!! I also want to beef up my photoshop knowledge, and a student discount on alot of hte software I want to try would be super duper nifty! I know it seems a bit bassakward, but I really want to be as soild in this as I can be.
I’m joining the associations I think are the most benificial to me. I’m learning as much as I can. Business accounts and fictious names and all manner of things you’d think I should have already known about, since I been shooting as Pinxit photo for about 10 years.
I bought a laptop then promptly gave it to my mother whose computer died a week ago and shes in the middle of a major transistion herself and needs the internet access, so there you go. easy come easy “I better get it back in a week, brudda in law and sister who are supposed to be fixing a laptop and sending it to mom YESTERDAY!!!” (is my hint subtle enough do you think?)
Funny I never actually owned a lap top that I used alot before. I have a Old Mac laptop that I really never used, I bought used from somebody back when I was poeting myself out. I think I may put it on ebay and see what I can get for it. Also trying to decide what to do with the Pentax, I want to upgrade it for backup equiptment – though I am sentimentally attached to it.
I would love to be in a position tha I could just give it to somebody who could love it, alas that is not the case. so things are moving along at a steady clip and I have to hold myself back to keep myself from runnin off half cocked. Will update hopefully upon delivery of my new precious…

Bald headed beauties

I have never really been afraid to shave my head. I’ve done it countless times. A good poet friend Sheba worked for upwards of five or six years with a bald head. They always spoke of strength and freedom to me. When a woman is no longer a slave to her hair and what people think of it, it is truly one of the sexiest things I have ever seen in my life.
But what if that choice is taken away from you?
GMA’s co-host Robin Roberts is my Katie Courick. Shes the person I like to see delivering my news when I can be bothered to watch news casts, which honestly isn’t often. Robin, who lost her hair undergoing breast cancer treatment, stripped off her wig on this morning’s broadcast, and vowed it’s never coming back.
I so admire her strength and courage while going thru such a personal thing in such a public way. I can see how hard it is for her to take this step, the tremmor in her voice speaks not of fear to me – but of strength. And yes it is still one of the sexiest things a woman can do – embrace this type of change and tell the world that it still doesn’t define you. Congratulations again Robin on this step. You so rock.
