[ Random Ramblings ] I laughed!!

I was sitting at my desk today and I busted our laughing as a recalled this particular day.Β  Oh the experiences in life that later bring you such humor.So back in March, on a random day that I was alone in the office I had a horrifying encounter with a roach. I had no-one to speak to except for Raquel on Instant Messenger and really only she could understand the fear that was in me. Seriously those little bastards freak me out. You would think they were 6ft monsters coming to get me if you saw my reaction to them.

Nonetheless, I hope this brings you a little chuckle.Enjoy!

AMY OMG there is this HUGE roach on the wall!!
AMY I’m dying!!!
RAQUEL Throw a file at it
AMY My boss always kills them!!!!

[Singing A Song] (artist)Plumb (song)In My Arms

So i’ve decided that I am going to post great songs I hear… πŸ™‚

Thought this was the sweetest song to dedicate to your child. I don’t have one, but if I did I would sing this to them πŸ™‚

Plumb — In My Arms

Your baby blues
So full of wonder
Your curly cues
Your contageous smile
And as I watch
You start to grow up
All I can do is hold you tight

Knowing clouds will rage
And storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms

Story books full of fairy tales
Of kings and queens and the bluest skies
My heart is torn just in knowing
You’ll someday see the truth from lies

Knowing clouds will rage
And storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms

Castles they might crumble
Dreams may not come true
But you are never all alone
Because I will always
Always love you

Clouds will rage
And storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms

To Be Real…

So if you haven’t noticed i’ve been in a bit of a blog funk, for multiple reasons. Don’t get me wrong I love my blog and I actually do love blogging. There is something special about being able to share a piece of your world with the “world”. The past few weeks have been almost a blur. I haven’t been so busy in a really long time. I announced a few times that I actually worked 36 days straight. Yes straight! No days off, not time off, other then a few hours each day for sleep. My day consisted of wake-up.work.sleep.repeat. This past weekend I finally got to exhale πŸ™‚

So what have I been working on??? LOL. Well I have my “day” job, which we are extremely busy so I barely have time to even eat. I love the rush and responsibility but I have been a little overwhelmed. πŸ™ I decided to brush off my “grad” suit and shoot some commencement ceremonies this season for Grad Images so I traveled across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts and photographed about 12 ceremonies… Luckily I recruited my P.I.C Drenita, so it made the road trips a little more enjoyable… and we discovered the big H.. HAHA! – (inside joke). I have done quite a few sessions which I will be blogging about and have traveled to Florida twice.. three times if you include my trip tomorrow.. and of course its wedding season, so that is in full effect. My nights have been filled with countless hours of editing (the pitts). I used to love editing, I still do deep down, but when you are overwhelmed with 1000’s of images to process I can’t help but catch the case of the grumpies. πŸ™

So that has been my “work” life for the past 6 weeks.

My social and personal life have been pretty good. I have been sick with the cold that will never go away. I am quite stubborn when it comes to taking medicine, I figure my body will get me better on its own (my dad always told me that) So I just tough it out.. Like a big girl. πŸ™‚ ::cough cough:: I am happy that I have been able to see my family so much the past 2 months. They really make me smile and keep me grounded. My mom and sister will be in NY this weekend (though I wont, lol) but I will be able to catch up with them on Sunday when I return. -Hi Mom- My friends have been incredible as usual.Β  I was soo happy that I had a 4 day Sex And The City weekend with the girls. Yes we are totally fans.

Great Places: 5thAve.SATCTour.TheMovie.Buddahkan.CentralPark.TheBourgeoisPig.MoMa.UpperEastSide.SarahBeth’sWest.EmanadaMama.

The Great People: Raquel.Mackenzie.Emma.Madelyn.Angie.Olinka.Melissa.Louie.Whitney

On a more “inner me” level I have been reflecting quite alot. I am glad that I am really finally knowing “me”. What I want, need, and will tolerate. I see things a bit clearer now and have set more goals for myself. I appreciate more the value of “real” people. Though life has never been perfect for me, I still think my life is beautiful. Flaws and all, I am happy. πŸ™‚

I had the opportunity to go photographing with my friend Lemu. Which turned into an impromptu photo shoot of each other. I love random shoots. πŸ™‚Β  Well Lemu gave me the raw files and I told him I would *add some love* to the images and post on my blog. It may be hard to believe but I’m actually kinda shy in front of the camera.. Its quite intimidating when all eyes are on you.. So I guess I understand how my clients sometimes feel. πŸ˜‰ he.he.

Thanks Lemu, for capturing the real me πŸ™‚

xoxo!


[ I really need good natural Vitamin D ]

It’s another Florida weekend. You may think to yourself “she’s in Florida every other weekend.” LoL. Not exactly, but I am there quite often. And you would also think I bask in the sunshine better known as the beach… But sadly I don’t… I never have time too since I work the whole time I am there….

This weekend I will be working as well.. I will be photographing Cheri and Larry’s Wedding at the Eden Roc Hotel on Collin’s Ave as well as another family session.. I desperately need some good ol’ Vitamin D. I am starting to look like as pale as a Cullen (Ha Ha to all my Twilighters)

So I have promised myself evenΒ  if its only an hour to sink my feet in the sand and soak up the sun. I hoping all goes as planned!! ::fingers crossed::
