snow days

What a week.

Other than a quick trip to Home Depot last night, I’ve pretty much been inside the walls of my apartment since  Wednesday morning. Two and a half snow days, many class projects and some movies later, I’m finally starting to get cabin fever. It’s been fun having Darren stay home, though. And in the evenings, while I work on homework, he’s been finishing up the mask he was building for Halloween. It turned out really cool. Hopefully I’ll get some pictures soon. Our living room right now, looks like a craft store. It’s pretty crazy.  This is currently our coffee table:

My sister also finally had her baby! Paige Mackenzie. So cute, if I do say so myself. I’m heading down there this weekend, and hopefully I’ll come back with some very awesome pictures. I’m also taking some pictures of my grandpa while I’m there. I need some for a project that I’m working on, and need to snag some before he takes off for Cleveland again this year. Ah, the work of a Santa is never done. He sure is cute though!

Halloween is finally tomorrow, too. And just in time, I finally found my costume. I’d been looking for weeks, but hadn’t found anything yet. I’ll definitely have some pictures posted after tomorrow.

Anyway, now that I’ve lounged for the last day and a half, my house is in desperate need of cleaning!

New Work

I’ve been doing quite a few shoots lately, partly to keep on top of my portfolio. But I have so much fun when I’m in the studio! Take a look at a few recent shoots:

absence or ignorance?

Oh, how the months have gone, actually flown, by. There are various reasons for my extended absence, and although I won’t go into detail about some of them, I will say that it’s been a long hard couple of months.

An entire quarter has gone by in school. Almost. I have two weeks left before I am officially in my last quarter of college. Cross your fingers that I’ll actually graduate this time! I’ve pretty much been non-stop 7 days a week between school and work. Fortunately, next quarter, I’ll be cutting back on work hours to focus on school a bit more.

I’ve been reading a lot lately. Some good, some bad. But it’s nice to have a few minutes to escape reality each day. I was in the middle of reading Julie & Julia when my friend, Carrie, decided she wanted to see it for her birthday. Cute movie, but I’m not sure I’m going to finish the book. Well, knowing me, I won’t be able to not finish it. I hate starting books and not finishing them. It drives me nuts!

I’ve been shooting a lot. I’ve done a couple of weddings, and tons for my portfolio. I will have some to post here in the next day or two.

I haven’t really been in the writing mood lately, so I know things seem a little on the outside, but fear not. I’ll get back there. Anyway, I’m about to head to bed for tonight, but perhaps tomorrow will be the day that something extraordinary happens to get me out of this funk!
