Tonight I will ramble….because I’m just in one of those moods. The blog title popped into my head because I listen to Led Zeppelin too much. You will learn some useless information about me, even if it brings you entertainment for a mere 5 minutes. I’ve come to the conclusion that blogs are similar to reality TV, gossip magazines, email and facebook. They are all just past times, a distraction, and an addiction to keeping up with people. I am totally guilty of all of the above. Even writing this blog and sharing my life with people has become quite habitual.
I would say the past two months have been far from boring. On my desk, I have one of those huge calendars where I write both business and personal dates to remember. Being the nerd that I am, each “thing” has its own color, meaning I highlight what I write down in the appropriate color. For example: Photo shoots, weddings & business meetings = LIME GREEN, Fun Things coming up (Holidays, Birthdays, special dates) = HOT PINK, Bills that need to be mailed in on a certain date = PURPLE (Booooo!!!), Networking Meetings = BABY BLUE, and totally random stuff that I want to remember = HOT ORANGE. If anyone cares, that is how I keep my life organized one month at a time! I guess I’m a visual personal, if thats not obvious yet. Let me just tell you, November and December – I can’t even see the white of the calendar anymore! And to tell you how many shoots I’ve had this year……my lime green highlighter ran out of ink! I sent Randy on a mad hunt for that particular color the other day….didn’t tell him why, just insisted I NEEDED that color, okay, thanks! :)
Today the weather was yuck in Nola, it literally rained/misted all day long. It was cold and gray. My 4:00 session sadly needed to be rescheduled. I guess it was our turn to get a little rain, hopefully it doesn’t last long!
I just got home from my cousins house where I met with some of the girls in the wedding, we did some planning for Randy’s ‘Honey-Do’ Shower and my Bridal Shower. It’s all starting to hit me and I’m realizing I HAVE ALOT to finish before the wedding gets here on 6.12.10! I keep saying…. okay I’ll get to that next month, nooo next month. And seriously, the days just keep flying by. Why does time move so fast? Too fast!
Last night we went to my Grandma’s to watch the Saints vs. Patriots game, it was about 20-25 of us all there to watch football on her new 60” flat w/ surround sound. I felt like I was at the Dome. 11-0 really? Just incredible! It was Monday, we ate Red Beans and I was reminded of how good it feels to be surrounded by the ones you love.
Every post is better with a pic – here’s my pool I made for the game last night, too bad I didn’t win -Â I could have used some $$ to pay off the things I highlight in PURPLE :)
Happy Tuesday YALL!
The random square labeled “girl” at the bottom ….. I’m still laughing about. So we’ve been calling my cousin Charmaine the name “GIRL” since as long as I can remember, I don’t know, its just one of those random stupid things that just stuck. (Some of our family nicknames include: Teet, Noonie, Pookie, Hebba, Bird, Yen….etc etc… – – my Nanan is to blame for most of these!!) So last night, we’re like Charmaine, “do you want to buy a sqaure”, she’s like nahh, I don’t really feel like going to grab my purse, ahh I’m not worried about it” … So anyway my cousin Kelly says to her husband Kris, “seriously, just buy Charmaine a square, she needs at least one!” So anyway, Kris proceeds to write “girl” on a square. Well guess who winds up winning the 2nd quarter… GIRL!!!!! Go figure! We were cracking up!
