And AAWWAAAYYY WE GOOOOOO!!

So after about 10 years of "wishing" I was doing this I finally bit the bullet, and twisted my husbands arm, and enrolled myself in Photography school. I recieved my first unit of books/cd's/dvd's etc...yesterday. I tore into it like a kid at Christmas and promptly organized it all...(cuz that's how I do) and then started my reading today. I am pretty excited about it and needless to say a little nervous! The last time I took a test was 10 years ago and it was only a driving test! Plus, of course I have photo projects that I will be sending in to be critiqued. YIKES! Now, I am hoping in about 8 ~ 12 months I can hang my sign up and start my own little business.....wish me luck!

Feeling the Pull

For some reason I am feeling the pull to do this again! I know, I know I have said this before and not followed through but I think this time I might really mean it! I am not even going back to see what/when I last posted I am just jumping in with a fresh start. Although, I do seem to recall that my very first post ever was a poop story or something along that line so I find it totally appropriate to have a fresh start with a puke story......

So, if you know me at all then you know I may hold the record for having the strongest gag reflex know to humans so anything that involves vomit is sure to send me over the edge. Therefore, this week has been a bit of a test for me. See the husband is off galavanting across our nation for "work" and this time I really mean "work" in the way that it came out. That leaves me here at home holding down the fort which is fine except for some reason the dog has puked 4...yep FOUR times this past week....no clue why but he has! Then last night the boys are playing together in the family room while I am on the phone with the husband hearing about the day spent with his Grandma in Illinois and I hear C crying...not the hurt kind of cry but that something is definitely wrong kind of cry and he turns the corner in the front room and he is all red, holding his stomach, and covered in the little styrofoam beans that are supposed to be INSIDE the bean bag! I get off the phone right away and head into the other room to find G standing in the midst of tiny beans, and next to a pile of puke with a deer caught in the headlights look on his face. Carsen, who inherited my social puker gene then starts gagging so I shuttle him into the bathroom and he proceeds to throw up. I then put on my Sherlock Holmes hat to find out what the BLEEP is going on!! Here's the whole truth.....

G talked C into unzipping the bean bag and putting his head in it and walking around while G "poofed" it around on C's head. C was laughing and therefore inhaled a couple of the 'beans' which then caused him to throw the bean bag off his head and puke all over the carpet! This is a scene that seriously could have come straight out of Calvin and Hobbes and caused me to say "WHY ME!!!"

(I do have to admit that last night I did not find this as humorous as I do this morning! )

Inspiration

It's a new year and I want to write on here....I have been wanting to for a long time but am in need some inspiration....hopefully, I will find it soon! I did see this on a friends facebook page and it struck a chord so I am stealing it!

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. ♥ So love the people who treat you right. ♥ Forget about the one's who don't!!!! Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance ... grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it....
