It's Over

Sorry I am just now posting to here, but Sunday I began to get sick, and I am trying to deal with that nice little flu. No it's not the swine flu. Mine is all in my chest. Once I can get it out of there I am good to go. I spent most of Tuesday on the couch and let Dean do all the work for me. That was nice. So I ended up not being the primary photographer. I am miffed though. Everytime I tried to get a shot that I wanted the big fat blob would get in the way. And I am being nice there. Everytime I found a photo op she would run over and get in the way. She wasn't even a professional. If she was she would not have taken half the shot that she did, and she would have taken the bridal party outside in the goreous sunshine to take the pics. I feel bad for Renee' because here wedding photos are going to be crappy. But I am also going to be somewhat mean here and not allow her any of mine. Why woulod I do that you ask, well she and William have ben bugging me for a year to do their wedding. She told me that she trusted me to take the pics that she wanted. She told me the othe girl was there for the photos that I were in. Well pretty funny when I get there and this girl is all over the place and not allowing me to take any shots. So the pics that I have are mine, and I really am not going to allow her any. She should have laid out the ground rules for us when we got there. Instead she let the other girl do what she wanted. I was at one point trying to get a pic of my daughter, and the only shot I got was her Fat A- - !! I may give that one to Renee' and thank her for not setting down ground rules. Why beg me up until the night before and then have the other girl be primary and take all the pics? But whatever. I am going to be a B----! Ok enough venting. Here are some pics from the big day...

Rehearsal

Well rehearsal is past us and the wedding is today. Allie is going to be great as long as she doesn't freeze up. Chloe on the otherhand could be a problem. She refused to walk down the aisle with Allie, but instead she ran back to Renee'. We are going to try it again but if she acts up then Angela will just take her and hold her during the ceremony and Allie will be the only flower girl. Allie spent the night with Judie and she is getting her ready. That will be a nice relief for me. I still have no idea what I am doing with my hair yet. Everyone thinks that I should wear it down. I will practice with it today once the cholesterol treatment is done. Hopefully I can figure something out. Here are few pics from the rehearsal...

It's Crunch Time!

Hello everyone. It's Wednesday. Mid way through a very hectic week. Tonight is my last night of work and then it is full wedding preparation mode time. I have nails and hair on Thursday as well as my regular Thursday duties. Friday is the Bear Picnic at my daughter's school in the afternoon and then the Evening is Rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. The wedding is Staturday in the late afternoon, so the day will be spent trying to figure out my hair and my daughter's hair. My stepdaughter is coming over to do my daughter's so that is one less thing to stress about. My dress fits great. We were worried aobut needing a certain undergarment, but the bodice is the perfect tightness to hold everything in place :) I just need to learn to walk in the 2 inch spikes. :) Tonight I have to see the ex-wife when I drop my daughter off with Renee and William till Dean gets done at work. I am not very excited about that, but it is something that I knew I would have to deal with since they are getting married. She lives in North Carolina and is never around so I guess this is a small price to pay to make the kids big day go smoothly. :)
I am the photographer for the big day so I have been charging batteries, cleaning lenses and packing up tripods. I will have my stuff ready, but not sure I will be ready. She apparently thinks I am an awesome photographer. I am actually not. I take hundreds of pics just to get that perfect one. I hope they like getting their pics taken. :) So I am off of here for now. I have to work tonight and I have a few things to get together before I leave. I am letting a friend borrow a dvd collection of mine, and he may be in tonight where I work to pick it up so I want to get it packed away before I forget.
Have a good week and weekend. I will post some pics of the big day in Sunday.

I will be gone for awhile.

As mnay of you who travel to my blog have read, my son gets married on Saturday the 23rd, and this week will be very busy. From manicures to rehearsal dinner to wedding, to the wedding to the day after to recover. I won't be scrapping this week unless I get a few minutes pf peace from the madness. I am currently charging my batteries for the camera. I need to be ready to go for Friday night and Saturday afternoon and evening. So I am off of here since I have to work tonight. Hope all of you have a wonderful week, and I will post some pics from the big day next weekend.

Sorry I haven't been around.

I can honestly say I am officially a World of Warcraft addict. I spend most of my spare time either playing that game, or scrapbooking, but scrapbooking seems to be losing to it right now. I am hoping that once the wedding is over and I have a ton of wedding pics to edit and scrapbook, I can just play WOW after work. School will be ending soon, so I will have Allie during the days as well, and I want to keep her on as close to school schedule as possible. By doing that it shouldn't be so hard int eh fall, and she tends to do better on a schedule. I plan on taking her hiking and getting her outside to play more as well this year. She has a ton of baby fat to get rid of as do I. :) Dean and Allie bought me a new Jade plant and a flat of flowers for mother's day. It was nice. I needed some flowers, and I miss the Jade tree that died a few months ago. He also bought himself some tomatoes to use in that Topsy Turvy planter that they advertise on tv. He got one for Christmas from his parents. I am ableto meet up on WOW with a friend whom I can't see on a regular basis but who plays in the evenings when he gets off work at 12:00am like me. We spent 2 hours talking Saturday Night. I am looking forward to chatting with him some more. We got caught up on what we have missed in each others' lives for the past 8 or 9 months. It really was nice. I may play some when I get home tonight. I will have to see how awake I am. Tomorrow I am hoping to scrapbook as they shut WOW down for most of the day to do upgrades and maintenance on it. It stinks when you really want to play, but then it gives me the chance to do housework and scrapbook. My scrapbook room right now is a nursery. All of the plants we got on Saturday are out there until the cold weather front that we are experiencing has passed. Well I need to get off of here. I have to head to work and finish with Dean's dinner. Have a good evening and I will type more later. Hopefully I will have a layout or two to share tomorrow.

I Don't Lie I Just Embellish!

This layout was done using the file from Chris Durnan. The I Don't Lie file is available for purchase right now at her shop. The papers are from Die Cut With A View Retro Stack. The flowers are 7 Gypsies, the scrolling is Tim Holtz Grnge Board, the crackel paint is Dried Marigold Crackle Paint by Ranger Indsutries. The Berlin Ohio Die Cut was purchased at a scrapbook shop there in town. This layout is of the group of ladies that I went with in March to a weekend scrapbooking retreat in Amish Country. The weekend was filled with laughter and friendship, and lots of shopping as well. I had a wonderful time and am planning on going next year as long as I am not in Florida at that time.

National Scrapbook Day!

Happy NS Day! And of course look who is "not" creating this day. I relaxed and played some World of Warcraft before gettting ready for work and blogging. I was supposed to attend an all day crop today, but I got stuck working. Oh well. Such is life in retail. I spent yesterday with DH and researching DSLR cameras. I am eyeballing one of the newer Canon Rebel Models. I am hoping that I will be the proud owner of one in a few months. I am hoping to get it well before our Florida trip in March of 2010. Well just thought I would pop on and say Hi and wish you all a wonderful NSD!!
