The weekend
The weekend is filling up. Going to upgrade to the latest and greatest new version of WP. 
Probably on Sunday as tomorrow is filled with patching holes, painting over those holes, hanging things and sleeping. And I will be meeting my new Creative Memories person. She keeps my tape runner and photo file box needs met. I found her through the gal that runs the crops on Friday nights. Hopefully some business cards will make their way into her goodie bag to hand out to her friends.
Speaking of cards…I handed out cards and talked to a family waiting outside the JC Penney studio this morning. They brought their 3 kids and a week old newborn to the mall for photo time. She thought it was awesome that I would drive to them vs. having to schlep everyone. 
Hopefully she will call me when they need their holiday photos done. She liked the idea of having the photos on a DVD a lot. 
I also handed out cards to the gal at Borders and the one at Best Buy. They aren’t doing me any good unless they are in someone’s pocket!
I found a bathing suit to try on in JC Penney’s. I then ordered it from the catalog through the gal there, it may be here before we leave, but, I don’t plan on wearing it except for when we go to Kings Dominion in two weeks, so no biggie. I could only try on a top in one suit and a bottom in another suit to gauge the sizes. I think I’m going to be another size smaller by the 30th, oh well. I gave that gal a couple of cards as well. 
Tomorrow night Greg and I will have our first date night in three weeks. I think we’re going out to eat and then to the movies. I’m a Star Wars geek just like he is. We may end up shooting pool instead, who knows.
I bought some really cool cards for Greg, Gary, Storm and Tina. They all have birthdays this month. Gary and Greg on the same day, of course. Tina is the 28th and Storm is the 29th. He will be 21. It’s pretty sad that they don’t make any really nice cards for someone’s 21st birthday. He doesn’t drink, so, the options are pretty limited. At least where I went they were. I did get a good one though, one from Hallmark. I wish they carried cards for a twin to his brother, that would be awesome to have to give to Gary.
Greg’s gifts are this (the catapult) and this. I hope he likes them! I cannot believe he asked for a book, that never happens. I guess he will read it on the plane. I’m taking a book to read.
Hopefully on Sunday I will get a chance to decide what to take on the trip, we leave Wednesday morning. Hard to believe we’ve never traveled on a plane anywhere alone, eh? I guess this is our time.
TTFN!

You are doing some good networking at different stores. That’s good to hear! I hope you have a great weekend. Your trip sounds like fun. I really really need a vacation too…but that won’t happen til MAYBE next year.

Have I told you before that you should try maternity photography? You should put a post on Craigslist or something in the baby/kids section. I keep saying I’m going to get maternity shots done, but I haven’t gotten around to it.

Hey!
See I said I would read and I am commenting too!!!! lol
I love Star Wars - My friend’s 7 year old son loves Star Wars - (He’s actually seen all 6 episodes and not been freaked out at the gory bits - he’s at that age where it’s cool I think!!!)
I wanna go see Clone Wars but at present I think I am going on my own!!!! I wish I lived closer so that I could come take photos of random stuff and learn things about photography from you (does that make sense? Soul Survivor has just stolen my energy lol)

Whats Maternity Photography - is that like pictures of your bump at different sizes? When the day comes I want to do that - I’m going to have a box that will have all baby bits in it like photos and cards and the scan images then one day when I have the money/time I’ll create a scrapbook.

I’m so jealous you’re going to King’s Dominion! I have so many childhood memories from that place. I went there with my family growing up all the time, then had season passes there for me and my kids when we lived in Fredericksburg. Good times!

Ooooooh, don’t be jealous until I tell you what happens while we are there! *LOL* I hope we have fun! We had season passes for Busch Gardens when we lived in Hampton. The girls loved it and so did we! We would just go after dinner some days to ride a few rides.

Yes, you’ve got it!

I wish you lived closer too, that would be fun!
We heard that the Clone Wars movie was really bad, so we didn’t see it.

Thanks Chas, I did move the ad on Craigslist to services vs. events, they don’t have a baby section here for ads.

Thanks T! I hope we have fun too!
