Busy little Beaver

It has been a busy time in the world of Henderson dear Internets.

Cammy and I went to Grants Farm with her classmates. My little ball of wonder fed an elephant! My kid is just so awesome. Some days I am just in awe of the people they are. Especially Cammy. She is just so full of curiousity, and is so happy. Just a well of good tidings. She is so full of confidence and is not afraid to say what she thinks and how she feels. I know her life is a work in progress but somedays I am proud of hte job our support system has done wth her as a person, and who we have all helped her become.
She went to an great birthday party last week it was just four girls and the birthday girl, and it was held so that at the end of the day so there was enough time for bath and a story then it was bed time - GENIUS! I tell you!
Bri has beena little sick lately - just a tad under the weather. The occasional fever, mostly just sluggish and not able to keep many solids down (fun times!) but all in all she has bounced back well. She’s taken to the outside and wants to spend allof her time outside - which is a mixed blessing as my kids both love being outdoor but htey are both like candy for mosquitos. So we are trying to work out a less chemically HARSH was to fight that battle.

Jerry and I went to dinner with our friends again tyesterday. Its downtown restaraunt week which we like to use to try new places, I think we found a serious contender for best place to take a group of people who you love and don’t mind sharing a fork with.

Mosaic.

It was so good it gets its own paragraph break. We tried almost everything on the menu. Thing that left a lasting impression, the Sea Bass, the Kabob, the lacquered Chicken (we had to order anything that made us think you were ordering food from HomeDepot.) It was Mojito special night and we ordered the Watermelon Mojito (cause how could we not?) and the blueberry Mojitos were AWESOME. The thing I like most about our life right now is that Jerry and I have a blended family that is truly blended. My friends and family adore his and vice versa. I love that we don’t go out with his friends on Tuesday and my friends on Thursday. That we can call them all and they are excited to get together. We had very interesting table converstaion. We watched the olympics on a 45 in flat screen near our table we made pleanty of comments about the clear violation by china if they think anybody is buying that someof those girls are 16. And while I don’t want to turn tape recorder some of the classic lines of the night were…

  • Give me some of that sweet gravy! (it was soup)
  • Oh.. you see how that gymnast is lookin at that other chick? Shes plugged into the Hatrix.
  • (from a vegetarian) I really do remember meat! (us to the vegetarian) that meat you didn’t eat? it was awesome.
  • Seriously? You can get a pole in a box? Yes, a stripper pole in a box, yes over at … they sell em, I bought one as a gift..

It was the kind of night that you think the stars have to be aligned to have happen but we have these kinds of good times everytime wehang out with our friends, so I can only count myself as extrememly blessed to have them in my life.

In photography news the “Its Intimate” portion of my work, is truly coming along. We will hopefully formally launch in the next few weeks. I am about to announce holiday session specials for cards and I am looking for Senior ambassadors, so if you know any High School Juniors who are interested in getting a great deal on their senior session please feel free to forward my information to them.   

Funny thing is I have gotten way more interest from my portrait sessions than I thought that I would. And I sincerely thank you for that. I appreciate all that you do and how forgiving you all have been as I work the kinks out of my process. Your feed back has been invaluable - good and bad, I want to hear it all, and I thank you for taking the time to tell me what you honestly think.  I am attending a seminar that I am hoping to learn more about this side of the art and will hopefully make for better experices for both you and I.

I’ll be posting more sessions in the near future, I am sort of working on finishing some of the other elements of the site and that has taken priority, so bear with me more stuff is coming soon!

Bossy does baileys

I met a whole slew of bloggers I have never met before. I went to this function because I really wanted to meet three bloggers in particular. I got two out of three. I was like SCORE! There was Angela from Fluid Pudding who I have been DYING to meet. She rocks in real life. Mocha Momma who brought her daughter who has a kick arse tattoo.

sums up the night..

THe only person I didn’t get to meet that I wanted to was Melissa from Sugared Harpy. But not to worry there were many very cool bloggers there in her stead, including MP from My Second Journal, who was super sweet with awesome sauce. Bri from Under the Arch, we’re the same age she was sweeter than red kool aid, and helped me finish off my blondie, and she loves photography too… Might have to discuss asking her to second shoot for me… hmm instant idea there, making mental note to follow up. Heather from Three Boys and Me, J from Mommymae (not to be confused with muthamae) L from Tempered Woman and Sonrie from 1017 who were on the other end of the table so I didn’t get to chat much with and there there is the ever lovely Bossy.I must thank her for bringing such a new group of bloggers out for me to meet- it was most excelent. Even when I got cursed out by my best friend for going to the chocolate bar with out her - perhaps this is the motivation she needs to BLOG MORE OFTEN!?!?! maybe? not?
tasty yummyness

St. Louis Shaken not Stirred

And I like mine dirty with extra olives… So there was an earthquake.

Fun times I’m tellin ya. Thus being I’ve been up since 4:40 this morning, which while not that much earlier than my alarm rings out - it is earlier than I wanted to be up.
I am well on my way in the photography realm. I’m pulling the peices together one thing at a time. Think I am gonna sell my old kit, put it on craigs list, see how that goes.
Working on pricing lists and wording for the site. Do you have any idea how hard it is to put a price on what you do?!?! Where is the balance between a good honest wage and DAMN ARE YOU CRAZY LADY?!?! I found a web site where the local in our area photographer charges $400 just to come take the photos of your family,… Got more than five people in your family? its an extra thirty bucks person. I was like GET THE &#$$*! OUTTA HERE! I shoulda been doin this YEARS ago.
Do not worry my chicadees, even if I did think I COULD charge 400 bucks per session I don’t think I could. People should be able to afford their memories.

THis is just a drive by posting I shall write again..

Earthquake this morning..
