3 AM

Yes, that is the actual time! For the third night in a row, I can't sleep at all and I'm really tired. I HATE tossing and turning in bed for hours only to just get settled and then have to go to the bathroom! I used to be a sleeping queen before I got pregnant with Brayden. Now, I sleep very light, and do not really get deep sleep until about 6-7 am. And what do you know? That is right when Lance's alarm goes off and he starts getting ready and then after he leaves, Brayden wakes up screaming for the Wiggles and milk. I know my body is really craving rest right now, but for some reason it is fighting it. Maybe, just maybe if my back and shoulders didn't hurt, Lance wouldn't snore, the temperature would stay comfortable, the dogs next door would go mute, my mind and bladder would be completely empty, AND I took a sleeping pill, I might be able to get a good nights sleep. However, it's not looking too hopeful! So I will just sit here and cry at 3am!

Back in the game

Well ladies and gentlemen, I am back in the game and have actually posted something new in less than a week. Some of these pictures are from a Bridal Shower that I went to in Hotlanta (aka Atlanta for those of you who don't live in GA). It was a brunch at Einsteins. LB is getting married in October, and I have the honor of being her photographer. It was nice to meet some of my subjects before the actual big day and get a feel for their personality. I think we will have fun. :o) The other pictures are some snapshots I took of Lance and Brayden this past week. Brayden is getting so big, and it makes me sad to think that before I can blink twice he will be all grown up. He loves his Daddy, and his Daddy's guitars. I think we have another musician in the house, and I had nothing to do with it. Well, I will stop rambling and let you look at these pictures.

I'm a slacker

Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a LONG while. I have some bridal shower pics that I will be working on soon enough. But to fill the void, here are some pictures from my trip to Dallas, Tx for Mary Kay Seminar. I didn't take my big Nikon, I only took the Coolpix. I have a love/hate relationship with my Coolpix. I hate it because it is not my DSLR (it's very hard to go back) and I love it because it fits into small places and doesn't have the weight of a sack of potatoes. I hate it because the flash is so harsh and the delay is horrible, and I love it because it has a video camera built in. Since I use the Coolpix for random shots and stuff like that, I tend not to Photoshop so much. It would kind of be like framing a puzzle; it will make it look better, but its still just a puzzle. I promise I will post some new pics soon!

Dallas skyline from my hotel room. We had to get up before the crack of dawn to get ready for the day.
Waiting to hear my ranking in sales. Turns out I was #5 out of 6000 consultants.

Just walked across Seminar stage to get my 8ct Citrine/Topaz ring for Queen's Court of Sales. I was a little excited if you can't tell.
This is Mary Kay Ash's personal office on the 13th floor of the Mary Kay Headquarters. They wouldn't let us go in :-(
