« Summer ♥ Main ♥ Blowing off the dust. »
Getting back into the swing of things.
You know the old saying, “I need a vacation from my vacation”? That’s SO true! Just today everything is back to normal. It’s crazy! We unpacked suitcases downstairs and then unpacked them upstairs as well.
We had a great time in Atlanta! We saw Jess on Friday after bowling for a few hours, then spent the day with my sis-in-law and her family on Saturday. We never did get to the races, it rained, so we went for Mexican food instead. *LOL* We met with my brother and my niece for lunch at Subway on Friday and then met him and his wife for brunch on Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon we shopped with Jess and then finished our Phase 10 game and just hung out. I did upload some photos to Flickr, although there’s a few missing that I have a feeling are on my laptop’s h/d. I will have to get into that tomorrow.
I’m pretty much caught up on the laundry, just have to clean the bathrooms tomorrow and put the Scooba and Roomba out tomorrow on the floors.
I just ordered this yesterday. I’m SO excited about getting this, finally. I currently carry my D200 in a Crumpler 6 million dollar home and my D40 in a 4 million dollar home. I also carry my laptop in either a case or a backpack. Plus I have my tripod to carry and then light stands for the flashes if I’m inside, the background stands…tons of stuff. This will make it nice, only one thing for 2 cameras and all the accessories and my laptop. I’m going to order either this one or this one next month.
I went to a few specialty stores today to drop off some business cards and card holders. I also grabbed a few business cards from the bridal store, I plan on contacting these people and hopefully get some business networking going that way as well.
My sis-in-law, Tina, is a Mary Kay consultant, so if you are looking for one, let me know and I will hook you up. I haven’t tried any Mary Kay stuff in about 15 years when it made me break out in hives everywhere on my face. Very attractive. She gave me some samples while I was there on Saturday and I was very nervous using it as I have extremely sensitive skin, like hyper-sensitive. But nothing happened! My skin is acting really well to it actually. Yay! I haven’t worn blush since I was like 20 as any blush would make my cheeks break out. I’m getting ready to order some things from her, she ships for free, just charges the tax for her state which is 6% as they charge her. She just started in March of this year and is really doing well at it.
Greg and I are off on Saturday morning to Kings Dominion. Then we’re spending the night and coming back on Sunday afternoon. The trip is literally just costing us the price of the discounted tickets ($40 total) and gas and food money. The hotel is free as we reserved it with the Comfort Inn points we had accumulated two years ago with our cross-country trip! Nice! 
Greg’s off of work on Monday and next Friday as well, so it’s a short week!
Jacqueline is starting college on Wednesday. Her schedule is really good actually, we worked it out so I can watch Violet for her! YAY!! She’s taking one online course and the rest are at the college. One she and Storm are attending together. Awwww! One is in the mornings and the other is at night on the same day. It worked out just perfectly, none are on Friday’s either. She’s so excited, we’re off to get her some new sneaks tomorrow.
Violet is growing by leaps and bounds. She’s walking and crawling everywhere and is now 15 months. She has her next doc appt. on Tuesday. She eats everything and tries everything, which is great. Only baby food now is the veggies so her mommy knows she’s getting it somehow and sometimes cereal at night. She’s sleeping all night from 8 p.m. or so until around 7:30. I don’t know any parent that can complain about a 12 hour nights sleep from a toddler! I hope it lasts! 
I’ve been getting back to working out as well. I ran today and on Monday for a few minutes. I just have to get past the 10 minute mark on the treadmill and I’m golden. Funny how strong your mind is, eh?
TTFN!
