I uploaded four old art pieces of mine back from 2oo2 to the art gallery that I found at my old house today. And I also started painting. Something I haven’t done for a little over two years. Hopefully it doesn’t turn out as awfully as I imagine it will.

Later today when I wake up again I will be taking shots of a young woman in hopes to capture her acting headshots and her senior photos. I’m pretty nervous and still can’t understand why people will pick me out of a lot and say, “I want her to take my picture.”

I didn’t even know you looked at my “work”. I don’t know what I’m doing, really. She is absolutely gorgeous and yet I’m worried that when I take her picture I’ll mess it all up somehow. I just like doing it for myself. How do I know what it is she’s expecting? But I could use the money and another addition to my portfolio (my portfolio booklet is plaid by the way) and she wants me to. Wants me to.

Anyway, as an end of summer celebration today we had our very own fireworks in our backyard. It was positively lovely. Fall, here we come!

I became very emotional when I pieced this video together because I remember the flood of emotion I felt when I was about 13 and I watched the home movies my mother had made of us playing together as children. I knew that one day the girls would look at these. I knew one day when they are older I will look at them too.

And here I go getting emotional again.

The messenger bag is on its way, I just can’t decide between which coat I want.
And I’ve been trying to upload this video to YouTube for two days now and it keeps freezing. Very annoying.

I usually have a bowl on the table in the living room full of hard candies for guests when they come over. While at the store yesterday I snagged a bag of candy I’d noticed a few weeks back.

Strawberry Shortcake, Cinnamon Bun, and Apple Pie a la Mode.
Hard candies that taste like sweets. Could life get any better?
(Oh, I guess it could. They were on sale for .31 cents)
Also, my other journal is almost done, so when I saw this one sale I helped myself.

Of course Kelly had to stop me from trying to eat it.
And last but certainly not least in any way shape or form-

Could life get any better?
I submit that it can not.
(Maybe they’ll have plaid winter coats this year.)
Sincerely from the bottom of my heart, thank you indie kids for bringing plaid back. It’s made collecting incredibly easy this year, as I’m quite sure I wouldn’t have been able to get the plaid backpack or plaid flats without your influence.

Yep. Still have an attraction to plaid. Having it be somewhat in style makes it easier to find things. Like plaid flats. That’s right, I own yet something else in plaid. Kogepan, Penguins, and plaid. Behold, the power of cheese plaid.

(I’ll post pictures tomorrow.)
