Hello guys. This photo is not from Mac Photobooth today. It's from home.

I didn't sleep well last night and was feeling pretty crappy this morning. I actually got up, got dressed, went to my orthodontic appointment and tried to go to work. My boss kindly said it was fine to go on home. Now I'm home in my jammies and no makeup and boy can you tell in this photo. I am a lady that needs a little help in the morning!

Saturday I worked at the UT game all day. That night the hubby and I went to eat dinner at La Feria with some friends. I even had a Patron shot! WOWZERS. It was a fun night and we were in bed before midnight.

Yesterday I had brunch at Kerbey Lane Cafe with Mom and Grandmother. These crazy ladies ate so thriftily that the tab came to a whopping $26. I paid and you would think I had offered to buy them a new car or something. You get to a certain age and you should take your parents out to eat now and then, don't ya think?

Afterwards I made the questionable decision to go to Costco (on a SUNDAY) and do some stocking up. I hadn't been in a couple of months and boy was I missing that hummus they sell. Then I went over to WalMart and got a few more things. Then home, laundry, cleaning/organizing the pantry and cleaning kitty litter. Last night we watched the season premiere of The Amazing Race. I LOVE that show.

I never did get a nap, but that is the plan for today. I've got some laundry going and I'm about to go get into bed for a nice long nap. Later on I'm going to try to get out and swing by the post office to send off a package. If I'm feeling up to it after Amos gets off work we will go to the gym today too.

How was your weekend? Do you take your parents out to eat now and then? Do they let you (Amos's parents never allow us to pay for a meal. NEVER)? Do naps work into your life?

Have a great day, guys!

I just sold my Nikon D40 on Ebay, so we are having some sentimental time together before I have to send her out via UPS.

Throughout the 18 or so months that I have had her, I have learned a lot, and yet still understood very little. There were moments when I got the settings so screwed up the photos were merely snapshots of black.

Since Day One, I have pushed myself to learn more- to take more challenging shots. And while I consider myself far from a photographer, I know that one day my vision of the world might be captured so I can preserve my life the way I have always seen it.

It is one PM and I am still in pajamas, face moisturized but not yet wearing the daily mask of pigments and powders. Mondays are for work days spent at home--long hours spent in quiet familiar spaces. Mondays are for days I say goodbye to an old friend and welcome a new one.

My Nikon D5000 will be here Wednesday. New adventures are bound to ensue.
