Studio...maybe...

I know it's been a while since I've blogged...I just have to get into the habit of doing this regularly...I'm doing some thinking about what I want to do with my life...I mean I have a great job, I make a good living...but it's not my passion...you know...so I've been looking at this place for quite some time. It's in a great location and I can absolutely imagine my photography studio there, I'm just not disciplined to work at it and challenge myself to make this vision of mine a reality. I have to trust that with God's help I can do all things.

Happy Valentine's Day

This is my FAVORITE holiday of the year, I swear, my favorite holiday! Ask anyone... and so my boo and I were really looking forward to being a part of this but the weather was crazy cold...so we went to our usual haunt, Cafe Brazil, and just for Valentine's Day, my latte came like this...

So sweet that waiter! The All Star Basketball game is going on this weekend as well, so there have been celebrity sightings everywhere...I haven't seen anyone but I know there out there...Welcome, Welcome...Dallas is a super-cool place to live, especially of course, OAK CLIFF. BTW...we have an awesome sermon at church by the bestest Pastor ever, Pastor Juan brought it close to home this Sunday...AND we had a great youth class. I love our youth group...We learned that Jesus always accepts our hearts even when it's crumbled and broken...I know that this holiday can be bittersweet but it's comforting to know that no matter what, seriously no matter what, you really do always have SOMEONE that loves YOU, someone out there needed to know that today. :-)

Record Snow Fall In The O.C.

This is still on the first day the snow started to fall..

Kids will be kids...Their little hands were so cold...

This was my street coming home. We did lose some branches!
Who knew snow could be so heavy...

Do bulls like the snow? LOL!

Can't catch a break...

So I had the whole ordeal with the monster n'stuff well now I've been having the most horrid toothache...who knew wisdom could hurt so much...I might as well go without! But I did get through both photo shoots and I must say all three models did lovely. Beauty starts first from within...I'll post pics soon, I doubt I'll be able to sit at the computer long enough to go through and pick my favorite ones right now. I do want to give some major props to my hubby, Valentino...I've really been bedridden and he has just been wonderful. He even called in to work to go with me to the dentist. These are the times that remind me how really blessed I am to have him. Truly God made him just for me. Also props to my makeup and wardrobe artists, Liza and Meggie and my models April, Martha, and lovely Rebecca, even though I wanted to rip my cheek off my face (from the pain), they put up with me and made it a lovely shoot.
Oh and the cool thing about Oak Cliff...yes, even in my pain I have to give it props, living close to my bestest friend Juana and my sissy Meggie who let me wash my clothes at their house so I wouldn't have to deal with washeteria...
Pray I get better...oh and why are dentists sooooo expensive, seriously!

Sleepy Head's Best Friend

I survived! I survived! I was so sleepy at work, I literally took a power nap under my desk...which is near impossible with me being on the tall side and stuff...but I couldn't have made it through with out my Jesus (Christ) and this stuff right here...You who know me know that I have to have coffee...I'm addicted. But this stuff here...I wish Apple would hurry up and create the scratch and sniff screens because if you could just smell this coffee...My brother came over after work and I was just starting my brew. I opened the bag and although he was intrigued by the smell he was still a non-believer...I poured him a cup of this joe and let me tell you hardly anything makes him stop talking but he took a sip of his coffee and he stopped mid sentence to savor the moment, dummy savored it so much he forgot what he was going to say! But now the cool part... available only to Oak Cliffinites...these people deliver to your door stop. I'm not kidding, they delivered it to my porch! It's the best thing ever...now I wasn't around when people would get their milk delivered in glass jars to their house but I bet they felt the same joy I feel when I find my coffee...hmmm...So check them out now!
Okay I'm hitting the sack...I'm tired and I got to do two photo shoots tomorrow. Pray for me...

Monster under the house

I bet your wondering why I'm blogging so late into the night or morning...whatever...and well...it just so happens that the monster under the house has decided to wage a war against the very large dog next door. Now I should probably explain the whole "monster under the house" before you people start thinking I'm crazy...by monster I simply mean I'm pretty sure we have like a very large mutated possum or raccoon. Do possums growl? ours does, which obviously annoys the big dog...so the story is the "monster" growls, very big dog barks (LOUD), I can't sleep because it's like right at our window...oh yeah then I hear some other commotion upstairs...my son has a bad ear ache, I'm putting medicine in his ear, Sophia comes down, she's crying because she thinks we've left her upstairs on "purpose", Mylo the cat is meowing because Sophia is crying, Winston and Chelsea are now activated because of the craziness and oh yeah Valentin is sleeping through it ALL! SO...........I've created this blog...because I thought someone might as well get a laugh at my misery. Ahhh the joys of living in an old house where racsumms like to take refuge...Remind me to ask my smart friends tomorrow about how to evict my freeloader under the house...
