Maggie Update

Maggie Super-Star: Spotted after bath-time, and sporting fabulous vintage aviatoresque sunglasses. 

And only a few moments before Maggie had enjoyed a wonderful bath in her Aunt Sarah's sink. 

hello and goodbye!

Short list:

1. Went to the doctor today and she didn't seem overly concerned about anything.  They did do a biopsy as a "precaution" and the results will be back in on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.  More than likely it will be a "followup in six months" sort of thing.  At least I'm hoping that's what'll happen. :-)

2. The ship to VA is leaving in approx. 30ish minutes.  It should be interesting.  Five people: Tom, Jennifer, Sarah, me, oh and the small screamer named Maggie (who probably won't be that terrible to ride with...I hope) will all cram in to Sarah and Bobby's Honda for the next 6 to 7 hrs (that's factoring in Maggie-stops, bathroom stops, birthday gift pick-up stops, etc.).  Hopefully we'll make there by 9, because Grandma is cooking Hungarian cabbage rolls (yummmm). 

3. I am officially the oldest (almost) 21 year old I know.  I hung out with the girls last night and we went back to Karee's house to wait for our plans to be finalized.  Well, I found myself in a hour-long conversation with her dad about speculation with oil and what the governments going to do about it.  Then, we went to the actual party and I spent most of my time being the awkward girl in the corner.  Nice.  Seriously though, I always love hanging out with my three loverlies.  We had fantastic dinner, and had a moving dance party while I DJed as we rode from place to place.  Good times. Love them. :-)

4. No more blog updates until I get back from VA.  I think that probably makes me sad more than anybody else. Tehe. 

A list for starters...

Everybody has lows and highs right? But what happens when your lows get so ridiculously low that you can't even seen the beginning of a high?  Well, I'm kind of in that spot right now where it seems impossible to see beyond the suck. So, I decided to list things that I like and that make me happy, no matter how frivolous, superficial, or trivial they may be:

1. New Season of Project Runway (okay so that shouldn't be number one, but I was just watching TV and saw the preview for tonight's show... tehe)

2. My painted ladder that is doubling as my shoe rack...still a work in progress, but I like it.

3. Sarah and Bobby

3. Maggie

5. Jennifer and Tom

4. Daddy (and his super cool sister, aka, Aunt Gin)

 5. California

6. Mama, even though she's not here anymore, I still had/have the most amazing mother in the world.

7. Turner Classic Movie channel (Watching The Apartment with young Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon)

8. Orange and pink Dunkin Donuts straws.  They make me happy.

8. Oscar and Kobe, even though I find random doggie hairs my dresses in the closet that I haven't worn in 3 months. 

Okay, so that's the beginning of my list.  I am saying "Yes, Please" to good things and hopefully they'll stay around... or at least the good mood brought on by good things.

my awesome b.i.l. and photographs

I'm madly in love with my b.i.l. Bobby right now.

Last night I walked into my room and there was a new printer AND a tiny printer that I can plug my memory card from my camera into. Talk about heaven...

So I experimented a little and printed off some of my fav cali pictures and (of course) some Maggie pictures. I am really so pumped.

A guy I work with has been after me to sell some of my photography for a long time and today when I showed him the pictures he just looked at me and goes, "I still don't understand why you're not trying to sell this stuff."

I guess it's just the fear that I'm mediocre. I mean, I obviously love my photography, it makes me feel good about the things in my life, makes me feel like I'm doing something. I don't want to be mediocre. I think that has always been one of my biggest fears...

I suppose the only way I'll ever figure it out is if I actually try...

yards of grass

a hopeful earth day to you and yours.
