Blogging From Bed

I feel as though my poor blog is being neglected these days. Usually, I blog every day. I’ve just had such a full plate and as it clears off, I pile on more.

Remedy?

iPhone blogging. So nice to have the Wordpress app.

So, I’m alive. Trying to fall asleep. Thinking about how I need to blog last weekend’s headshot sessions and how I’ll be doing another one in Belleville tomorrow.

It’s how life rolls these days. Grateful the big snow was yesterday and not today.

More creative posts to come in the future. ;) night!

Tech Lust

I admit…I’m Geek Chic. So there.

I lust after many techy gadgets and toys. My latest wishlist includes the Nikon D3 (yeah right), a new Mac Pro Tower decked out (another ha ha), and of course, this:


At $499 for 1 TB – it’s more doable than the first two lusty items. My question is, can I use it as a hard drive and with the backup system i.e. Time Capsule? Like, could I put all my EHD stuff on it and still backup my laptop? Anyone know this?

I’ve Been Awake

I’ve been awake since around 3:30. Had to pee and couldn’t go back to sleep. I read like five more chapters of Eclipse. It’s now 6 a.m. and here I am checking email. Feeling better. Somewhat.

My stomach is still *grumbling* – but that’s about it. I’m beginning to think it might be something I ate the night before. Not fun…no, not at all! I had to miss my aunt and uncle’s garage sale yesterday. I was supposed to get up and go help them, but that wasn’t happening. So, they have it again this Saturday and we’ll be heading over. We have a few things to put in the sale and then if they don’t sell, putting them on Craig’s List. One is Jake’s futon. It has one spring piece missing that can easily be replaced. It’s a pretty nice one. It’s just taking up room in our family room since he can’t use it right now either. We’ve planning on switching our front and back rooms out. This way, the front room is always clean and orderly should company just *pop* by.

The other things we have are an unfinished dollhouse. We had someone interested on Craig’s List before and she never showed up to get it. Possibly a BMX style bike. If you live in STL and want anything like those, let me know! You only have a day to nab them!

My grams comes to town this Friday. Which means, she’ll be here through Monday morning. We’re planning on spending time with her and working on the two rooms we’re switching out. We have GOT to get the floors finished in this house. It’s like a working construction zone here all the time! Raquita has cancelled this weekend’s boudoir event due to lack of participation which works for me considering I am entertaining grams and the garage sale this Saturday now. It’s her birthday – though I don’t know how old she is. I should ask her, huh?

As the fall approaches, I’m going to start getting my calendar prepared for fall dog photography sessions. In fact, I’m considering doing a “day in the park” event. Where you pay a smaller fee for about 15 minutes with me. I figure a park might work better than doing it at a local vet’s office or something. More space. I need to put that together! If interested, I’d love to hear from you.

As I opt to go catch up on a few other things before I clean part of the house before Gram’s comes tomorrow, I thought I’d share this funny with you:

Sick

Woke up at 5 this morning sick to my stomach. Not sure if it’s something I ate or a bug. I feel awful! Nice to blog from bed on my phone. Limited email today until I feel better.

Reality Bites

Sadly watching reality junk tv. Ahhh. The Hills season premiere.

And I like this mini blogging from my iPhone.
