Facebook, hard drives, wi-fi, and more!

I know, I know, I've been neglecting my blog. I admit it. Part of it has been having fun on Facebook, just a little too addicting but finding friends reconnecting too! So there! LOL Say hi when you can! (Valeen Thivierge for those of you who don't know.)

But I've been working too. It's the off season, well sorta... and I'm determined to have all my technology up to date and working the way it's supposed to. Of course it went great yesterday, but today there was no wi-fi. None. So I had to re-install programs and all that STUFF that drives you nuts, but hey, I DID IT!! And it's working great again, on all the computers!! WOOOO HOOOO !!!

Went to Mystic 4 on last Monday and had fun there, got to see some friends and meet some new ones, so it was cool. Then had an awesome e-session down to Hammonasset Beach on Saturday, it was freezing cold, but they were down with it... and so were we! It was gorgeous though, my first time being there. More on that in another post...just wanted to catch up some.

Okay, so off to edit the engagement shots... Kasey is sending me hers too, even though I got a couple as a preview already and they rock!!! Yeah!! Check back for those too!!

4 going on 14!

I'll post the series of shots I did with Katelyn working her new sunglasses with some attitude later this week, but gotta love those baby blues!!

I love this shot and love my D-3! Right out of the camera! :) Yeah!!

Facebook!

So I'm finally on Facebook and about time, right? Something tells me this can be soooo addictive! LOL

Monday, Monday!

Okay, I'm not a Monday hater. How can I be? For me it's a chance for a new start to a new week, and heck, I don't work a 9-5 M-F so that makes a difference. And yes, I'm an optimist. Oh well. I tried to be a pessimist, how depressing!!! I tried to be a realist, but I like my rose colored glasses too much, so there!! :)

Today I realize I read way too many blogs, so I'm deleting some that aren't fun, or interesting or informative. Or in some cases, there's this one...that has just way too much information. I could read it all day and still not be caught up. So that one's going too. Simplify!! Yeah!! That's it!

And I realize too that I'm just not that big a fan of video on blogs. I wasn't sure why, but now I know. They take too long. I'm a super fast reader (thanks to a speed reading class in 3rd grade, not kidding!) I can read a novel in a day and I just don't have the time to sit watch the video. So I don't feel bad about it anymore. But I know that they can be really good, I'm going to try to watch a few more, if they are interesting and I just might be posting more too since I got one of those little pocket size digital video recorders. We'll see. Confused yet?

Okay,so I was watching this one and found it funny because just today I read that some group wants to ban all cell phones in cars, even hands-free. Hmmmmm... so here's the video from [b]ecker. And here's some other things they should ban, as they are just as distracting, right?

***And before anyone goes all postal on me, it's from a blog post of someone being sarcastic, ok?***

No cell phones
No CB's (if the still exist)
No pets in the car
No kids in the car. Multiple charges for multiple kids.
No passengers in the car
No radios, CD players, etc, in the car.(Knew of a girl who hit the guardrails while changing stations!) OMG, arrest her!!
No Makeup.
No shaving.
No reading a Map.(do they still make them?) Okay...so No GPS.
No naughtiness.(Yep, saw it myself from the bus window!)
No... jeez, what did I miss?
No heat controls.
No AC Controls.
Come on now, people, let's focus!
No.... How about no more stupid laws and just have a law against Stupid People. Now that one I like!!
Enjoy your day, and don't leave the house!:)

Smile everyone, it's Monday!

Bride Wars

Everyone knows I watch ALL the wedding movies! I can't help it, I'm a complete Hopeless Romantic. So Bride Wars is released today and I just don't think it's one I want to see. The previews are okay, but I've read some reviews that are terrible.... they are saying the funniest line is about the Vera Wang dress and they put that on one of the trailers. Hmmmm.... so if you go, let me know what you think, ok?

Too Cute!!

I couldn't think of a better title for this because I'd just laugh each time I'd look at the picture! :)
