subject Diet Update......
mood: hopeful

Diet Week #2......


Today's Weight: XXX.X lbs

Loss or Gain This Week: -3.7 lbs

Total Loss or Gain: -3.7 lbs

That is mostly due to cutting back on intake. Gives you a hint of my terrible eating habits. :(
I really haven't gotten my butt started on my walking regimen.

I'm exhausted today. Drove out to Joe's warehouse, sounds weird . Crown Case Company has it's own warehouse now and other employees!!! anyway... drove out there as he told me he wanted to see me for lunch. We never do lunch dates anymore so it was nice to see him during the day. Cuddle a little on one of his big bad cases eat some Thai food, talk gossip on all our social circle and catch up a little while both of us were awake. Lord I love that man.

subject Oh?



Your Word is "Fearless"



You see life as your one chance to experience everything, and you just go for it!

You believe the biggest risk is being afraid and missing out on something amazing.



Sometimes your fearlessness means you're daring. You enjoy risky activities.

And sometimes your fearlessness means you're courageous. You're brave enough to do the right thing, even when it's scary.

_______________________________________________

The holidays were really nice around here. Stressful, sure. With the business' is that the plural? I'm too tired to really care or wonder THAT much but either way. With Crown Case Co. in a new warehouse.. and Shutter16 taking off as well. It's hard around the holidays let alone getting ready for Xmas with family in from out of town and five children... overall it paid off. It worked out well, it was nice. I received and gave some really outstanding gifts this year. As you go in relationships you can just gauge better what people want, need and want-need as I call it. Fun fun. Some of my favorite gifts are so simple but I never quite gave away what I liked the most so I get all or at least some of them again!

Anyway, I like to play my life out in photos. For a while I stopped taking photos everyday. I just did them for "work" I noticed I lost a lot of my creativity. If you do not "use" you "lose" it's very true. The more I used to shoot the more I'd push myself for a better shot. A more creative shot.. "THE SHOT". So now.. I'm back. I've entered into several 365 day projects and just doing it for myself as well as my art and my business. This SHOULD be fun.I'm sure some days I will want to pull my hair out, will have to crawl to the camera blurry eyed exhaustion just to shutter release one still. One still to represent that day, my art, that moment. Here is to hoping.

Xmas through a lens. I didn't photograph the holidays that much surprisingly it was just so hectic and I had just done a stint of like 20 shows in a row and finally had a moment to breathe. I'm a house photographer at The Milestone, oldest music venue on the eastern side of the country. Biggest shithole, best off road shows, hardest lighting imaginable. But I do every show and get stuff for my portfolio to grow. I love it, I live it. It has become me.

anyway... xmas through my lens.

Grandparents, son, all the grandkids.

I've had my share of ups and downs. More ups than downs. I'm positive on the New Year, I am to the point I refuse to accept anything else. I'm pushing.. on .. and pushing up.!

subject Day 2 : An update with photos!

Another day another time to try to be lazy. While I say lazy most would fall under my schedule. On any given day I clean up after five kids. Take care of five kids. Do work for my guys business (paperwork and what have you). Cook all meals, do all dishes everything you could think. Grocery shop.. all for two houses. Run a business of my own that is under huge re-haul so the hours I put in is about 14 a day. I'm exhausted but I'm happy. I remember just being exhausted from being ill. It's so great to still be cancer free. My mom is now cancer free it was a hard track with her. This week she goes back for her first set of tests since getting the "remission" stamp. Nerve racking her cancer has a 95% chance of resurgence in the first year. I'm sure it will be fine.

My family is definitely getting better and finally have got used to living together it's been over a year now. They better have right?!?

Thought I'd update with a few photos. Work and family related. So here goes. :)

Illusion
Illusion and camera fun.

The man I love. Our daughter took this shot when we went to Xmas town USA for the third or fourth year in a row.
In love <3

More photos and updates to come I'm kind of rushed to spend some time with the man, catch some sleep and work a whole lot on the web galleries/sites and set up printing for pay .. tomorrow!

======================================================================

Neighbors next door had their mexican tuba music going when I dragged myself home this morning. So nice of them.....

We have had our "Light Rail" in operation for the last week or so & have had, according to the guy in the radio this morning, 4 accidents so far. The most recent was a furniture truck in Tempe that got run into by one of the "trains". I think that they (the trains) should have been on elevated rails instead of down the middle of the street like they are. Actually, I think the idea should have been scrapped in the first place. We don't need the intrusion of these "trains" messing up our already messed up traffic. The cost was too high and, as expected, turned out to not be enough so more had to be spent....It's just a headache for commuters. Phoenix is too spread out / not concentrated enough to justify having these. I thank God that the idiots in City Council & the Legislature didn't decide to start digging a subway instead!! People are treating this thing more like a Disneyland ride (the Monorail, to be precise...), which this probably will end up being.

I think I'll grab a snack & get into horizontal mode for a few hours now. Is it my day off yet????

Dear Journal,

I've missed you. I have no outlet anymore. My art is flourishing. I've done some amazing shows. Things have gotten so big and so fast in what people see as a long period of time but with five kids and a whole house and other house to watch... time really flies. I'm up to my eyeballs in work and building sites and stuff. I'm drowning. happily drowning.

Forgive me for being gone so long.

Are you there.

You Are Copper



You are provocative and challenging. You help people realize who they really are.

You live a very balanced life. You always take time for love and art.



You are both a powerful and generous person. You always have time to give back.

People find you to be incredibly ethical and loyal.



[sandwich was quite yummy, btw...]



You Live Your Live Candidly



You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is.

You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.

You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many acquaintances.

Some of your past dreams have disappointed you, but you don't let it get you down.

subject awake again.....
mood: hungry

I have a craving for a grilled ham & cheese sandwich now. Aargh.

Woke up earlier from the cat going on the rampage about something....then I remembered that I needed to send my branch mgr an e-mail about some things my site needs replaced....then I've been too lazy to get off the compoooter & i've been sitting here since then just surfing around and listening to the heater fan.

Then...the above mentioned craving kicked in. (on sourdough, if possible).

My neighbors have some music playing. It has a "thump...thump...thump..."type of beat to it that one can feel through the wall. Not too loud, but not easy to ignore either. Not sure if the headache I feel forming is because of the noise or because of the tummy being empty and it's having an agreement with my brain to get my attention in such cases. It's not nice when my internal organs conspire against me like this. Maybe I can find some bread with lots of fiber in it. That should keep it quiet for a while....

The hunt begins -

subject Who comes up with these things?????
mood: confused



You Are Trusted



You are down to earth, humble, and honest. You are likely to be in excellent mental and physical health.



It is likely that you will only have one child. If you have more children than that, it may be hard to conceive.



You are not easily moved. You are very stoic and not thought of as an emotional person.



You are very detail oriented and tidy. Some may even call you obsessive.



You are quite conservative. You are neither a flirter or a flaunter.

subject January 3rd
mood: chipper

It was on this day in 1882 that the Irish playwright Oscar Wilde docked in New York. Customs asked him if he had anything to declare. Oscar Wilde replied, "Nothing but my genius."

Wilde had come to the United States for a lecture tour, which was set up as a publicity stunt for a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta called Patience (1881), which poked fun at the Aesthetic movement. The producers of the operetta were concerned that the United States wouldn't know what Aestheticism was, since it was a British movement, and that they wouldn't think Patience was funny. So in order to educate the general public about Aestheticism before trying to satirize it, the producers arranged for a lecture tour from England's most prominent Aesthete personality, Oscar Wilde.

Many people thought Wilde was ridiculous. But his lecture tour did well in surprising places, like the rough mining town of Leadville, Colorado, where the miners loved him, and he enjoyed himself, as well. It was there in Leadville that he saw a sign at the local saloon that said, "Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best." Oscar Wilde later said that it was "the only rational method of art criticism I have ever come across."

Let the New Years Resolutions begin.
Yes, it's that time of the year again. I think I Will start with repeats from last year. Okay, let's be honest and say they are repeats from pretty much every year in the past. :p
1. Lose Weight.
2. Spend less money.


With that said, I will start with my beginning of the year weigh in.
I am embarrassed to say, I think I am back up to around the highest I have weighed. My body must be comfortable at this weight because it always seems to peak right in this area. At least in the times that I have been weighing myself I have never weighed more than 5 pounds more than I do now.
The embarrassement means that I won't be sharing my starting weight for the time beng.

Today's Weight: XXX.X lbs

Total Lost: 0.0 lbs.

mood: contemplative

Today is New Year's Eve, the last day of the year.

In Mexico, people eat one grape with each of the 12 clock chimes at midnight, and make a wish for the coming year. In Venezuela, they wear yellow underwear for a year of good luck. In Japan, people eat soba because long thin noodles symbolize longevity, and at midnight, temple bells ring 108 times, matching the 108 attachments in the mind that need to be purified before the New Year.

At midnight in Greece, families cut a cake called a vasilopita, which has a coin baked inside; whoever gets the coin will have a lucky year.

In this country, the most famous celebration is in New York City's Times Square, where up to one million people gather each New Year's Eve to watch a ball drop.
