It’s time for another one of those posts where I talk about everything and nothing and hope you don’t mind too much  I haven’t done one in a while so I think I’m due!

*I’m tired.  I delivered Taylor’s images today and was up until 1:30am this morning burning them b/c I’ve been having issues with my Mac “finder” windows for three days.  That thing about Macs not having issues – it’s a lie.  On the upside, I treated myself to a triple shot Starbucks this morning to make up for it, had a wonderful lunch with Taylor, and found out she’s a closet blog reader!!  YAY!  I’m not just talking to myself, LOL!  (Hi Taylor!!)

*I’m tired.  Oh, wait, did I mention that already?  LOL!  I was looking over my calendar today and we are swamped for the next three months.  Looks like I’m going to stay tired but YAY for being busy! 

*This time tomorrow I’ll be sleeping with the ocean outside my window.  I already mentioned John and I are going to Florida to celebrate our anniversary and I cannot wait!  For the next 3 days I’m going on vacation for real – no work-work and no photography work!!  I think I might even leave my laptop at home – that’s CRAZY talk coming from me, but I just might do it

*My friend Lynette’s sweet, blind pug Stevie is having to have his eye removed on Tuesday.  If you wouldn’t mind please say a prayer for the little guy.  He’s a rescue so he’s already been through a lot. 

*Is it too early to plan a trip for 2011??  LOL!  Melanie and Tiffany and I have been talking about a grand “30-year-anniversary-of-being-alive” girls cruise in the  summer of 2011.  I’m already stoked.

*I’m still holding out hope that I’ll finish my China trip scrapbook before our London trip in August.  Here’s a sample of the one I made for Tiffany:

*And last but not least, I’ve started a little “personal history” project.  I was inspired by my friend Kitty who rocks at all things genealogy.  I am very blessed to be a 4th generation Nashvillian and to still live so close to the homes of both of my great grandmothers.  A few months ago I went out and photographed their homes and while they are not quite as I remembered them, I’m still glad to have a photo of them.  I plan to try and photograph some more homes and buildings that are part of my personal history before they disappear. 

This one was my Gamommie’s house (my maternal great grandmother).  It’s an awful photo because the sun was already high in the sky (hence the giant tree shaddow), but I’m not sure if that’s why I don’t like it or if it has more to do with the fact that I passed the house 3 times before I realized this was it.  It looks totally different  I’ll have to try and find a photo of the house pre-remodel.  It was so cute with a little covered porch and green shutters.

And this one was my Nanny’s house (paternal great grandmother).  It’s had dormers added, but for the most part looks the same.  I was so thrilled they have even left the original mailbox!  I would love love love to own this house one day, but it’s in a neighborhood where the median home price is ~$500,000 so unless I win the lottery I don’t see that happening.

Ok I’ve gotta get to bed!!  I’m so tired I’m rambling.  Be back next week with some Florida pics!
