Just a Bad Day...

Ever had a bad day? That is about the nicest thing I can say about yesterday...I guess I should back up and say that it snowed Monday night...not the so-called "snow" that is pretty to watch and then it melts..I'm talking SNOW...that sticks to the ground, covers the car, etc...anyways I was very nervous about the predicted 1-3 inches of precipation...only because I have never really drove in it...but Bruce assured me that I would be fine and just take my time driving and keep more distance between cars...so I wake up yesterday morning and get ready for work...nothing could have prepared me for what I woke up to..it looked like a painting...beautiful white snow covered everything,but the problem is I have to fig get all the snow off the 4-Runner so I can get to work...well that presents a problem...since I have no shovel, broom, etc...so I wiped off the windows and got ready to leave...it took me twice the time to get to the office because I had to drive so slow...and I couldn't find a park...kinda aggrevating..well I made it through the day and by the time I left, the streets were fine and the snow was melting..so last night we go to Bruce's parents for dinner..and once we got home I noticed that the steps were too slippery..and dediced I would put some salt on the stairs..BAD IDEA...because I took two steps down and fell..I fell down on my left side and my mid-back caught the next couple of steps..needless to say I woke the neigbors..luckily Bruce was outside and heard me too...he helped me back up and helped me inside to assess the damage...just a couple of bruises...but it could've been much worse...I am becoming educated in snow 101.. now I know the importance of a snow brush, salting the stairs, and good snow boots!

Christmas time's a comin'!

 
"Jackson" Christmas '07
I will be shooting Christmas pictures at my friend Amanda's house this year! We will even have SANTA there!!! I am soooo very excited!! We printed up flyers on Sunday and I already have 3 clients so far. I shot them at my house last year and had a great time...and since I had so many coworkers ask me to take their family pictures for Christmas..I decided to make a day out of it!
I had a funny thing happen Saturday at Sam's Club. I was printing off some pictures and the lady asked if I had a copyright. I told her no but that I took the shots and I worked with Teresa, aka "the Picture Lady" and she tells me she has to call her and make sure!!!! I was flattered, but kind of embarassed...once she talked to Teresa she let me pay for the photos..I guess I should invest in some business cards huh?

Uh oh...it's SNOW!!!

 
Hard to believe..
but today was the first snow!

I love this even more!

 
I want this T-shirt!!

This is too funny!

 
Sorry ...but I couldn't resist!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days...work has been INSANE....we had a dinner/seminar at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on Tuesday night after work...while it was the best filet mignon I've ever had...we didn't get out of there until 9...so the last few days have been a blur...we have had double the stress tests this week...it's been crazy...all the while I am trying to finish up Christmas presents, order Nat's shower invites, and find a time to shoot Christmas photos for my coworkers as well as mine & Bruce's!

I booked my flight home for Christmas on Sunday night...I am very happy that I got a direct flight out of South Bend...

Kay's (my coworker) daughter gets married next weekend! It will be so much fun..their reception is at minor league's baseball stadium, aka Coveleski Stadium...and I will be taking snapshots for her...I can't believe it's already here..November 22 seemed so far away when I moved in March!

Natalie & Allie!

Isn't she cute!!! I can't wait to take some belly pics over Christmas...booked my flight last night...I will leave out on Sunday,Dec 21..and return on Sunday, Dec 28th!!
