My sister asked me to take some pictures of her and her fiance. It really made me feel good… I love taking pictures, and knowing she appreciates what I love to do makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I know there is always room for improvement, but I’m pleased with the outcome of these… The  photo below  is on their wedding invitations He proposed to her last Easter, they are getting married this June.

My aunt and my cousin asked me to take pictures of my cousin and her children Easter Sunday…I was hoping to get better shots of them but, wow… they were all over the place and it proved to be quite difficult… I’m just glad there were a few good shots for them.

I love this pictures… she kept trying to blow the bubbles, but she wasn’t blowing hard enough for it to leave the wand so she would blow, and then stop and it wouldn’t ever go anywhere lol…

I just saw this post and was immediately floored by how easily it was to see a reflection of me / my life in one of these brilliant photos. I’m convinced, every girl can see herself in one of these fallen princesses… which one speaks to you? For me – it’s Cinderella… and it’s kind of crazy how I never related to her before laying eyes on this image.  (( Listen while you Look ))

What do you suppose I do with this??

I’ll tell ya what I didn’t do…. I didn’t say no!

That’s right… this sweet faced kitty now resides in our home…

Or more precisely, in our bed…

She has made herself at home rather quickly.

Translation: She has made herself Queen of this Castle in less than 24 hours.

But would you look at that irresistible smile?

Seriously… she is smiling, right?

Meet Pixie.

Smiling, swinging from my camera strap, bed hog Pixie.

We love her.

Yesterday, I busted out the camera and we took pictures.. it’s been a little while since we had good fun with pictures, and we were in rare form… well, okay, I was in rare form… but we had fun. And look, even my flowers like Patron! No seriously, doesn’t a Patron bottle make the cutest little vase? I thought so… I’ll take the stickers of, eventually.

I had some fun with N while my sister took some pictures… He never even knew what was going on. It was so funny when he finally saw these, he couldn’t believe that I “got” him!

Poor kid. I wonder what it’s like to have a retarded mother….

I wanted my sister to try to get a decent shot of me… she said for me to put my hand on the pole, which I immediately thought “How CHEESY”, but I did and this is what she got.. then about a nanosecond later, the wind blew and I felt the power of the cheesiness of my hand on the pole, and well… I worked it…

I really didn’t think she’d catch that, because it was so quick, but… pictures don’t lie! I am cheesy, people! And I have fun being me

Then my sister’s boyfriend and N decided to jump off of the porch, and damnit, I didn’t have my shutter speed set right to capture this! It was hilarious, and I think it’s okay that it’s blurry.. you can see how spontaneous it was lol

Then I got a decent picture…

…and decided, I’d had enough. And that it was too cold outside to continue this madness!

Today. Oh, today.

The pictures have nothing whatsoever to do with this blog post. I just needed to break up all the text, and wanted to share them at the same time. So, bare with me on this lovely A.D.H.D. day…

We went (my sisters and I) to Donna and her ex’s apartment to get Donna’s stuff, and bring it back to the house. Naturally, there was drama. Her ex came in there, called me “baby” a few times until I got nearly severely bent out of shape. Some retarded neighbor felt like putting in his .02 was absolutely necessary, and he made me want to get physical with him (and not in a freaky way).

We got most of her stuff, I think. Nobody got hurt. But I still think that neighbor could have used a good open hand high five to his face.

That other guy, the one I thought was making me happy, has been out of town. He called today, because from 5 states away, he heard I was in a certain bar Saturday night. What? Seriously? I’m going national That’s just crazy.

It’s been a long day. I’m exhausted, tired, and irritated with people… but I still think this is quite funny. Say this outloud… Spell I-H-O-P then say “ness” – if you don’t hear it when you say it, have someone else say it. I nearly choked on some mac & cheese tonight when I had Donna say it for me, and I finally heard it… LoL.. so, have fun with that. And have a better Monday than me!!
