Tidbit Tuesday #3

I know, I know, I know. This should be Tidbit Tuesday #5, but life’s been a bit crazy as of late! Maybe I’ll make this a long one, to make up for lost time. :)

Well people, there are two weeks of classes left this semester. Yeah.. TWO. My brain pretty much resembles the mashed potatoes I had for Thanksgiving. These next two weeks have to be the most productive weeks of my life to date, and I don’t think I’m prepared for that. Can I get a shout-out of encouragement, readers??

OH! How have I left this tidbit until the second tidbit?! There is a beautiful and quite literally captivating NEW CAMERA sitting on my desk. :) And a new, equally as lovely, lens on its way to steal my heart. As my business has grown more and more, I’ve been able to reap the benefits of all my hard work! It’s funny though, because it’s not the equipment that excites me most. What does is the ability to use new equipment and a new blog to become a better photographer. So flipping excited to grow! More, more, more!!

Okay, I have decided that ruby red grapefruit juice is pretty much the best way to start my day. Except when I have a sore throat. :/

Ever watched the shows Ace of Cakes or Cake Boss? Well, I am add.ic.ted. If I didn’t already love what I do, I would do cakes, or at least think about being able to do cakes! Hmm..

I NEED to start Christmas shopping, but I have no idea where to start. Dylan is SO difficult to shop for. He’s like my mom in that way. He asks for business shirts – the wrinkle-free kind. And mom asks for towels. Okay, seriously, what fun are business shirts or towels?? I need some better ideas! Amazon.com, here I come!

This weekend, I’m escaping to NYC with Dylan, my future brother-in-law, and his girlfriend. We’re not sure what’s on the agenda yet, but it will involve visiting Dylan’s older brother, and his girlfriend as well. It will be so nice to get away from the stress of school and wedding planning, and just enjoy one long triple date! :) Ahh, not to mention that fact that I will have my new 50mm 1.4 with me! Expect some pretty sweet images on the bloggity after this trip!

So my wedding is now 194 only days away! Seriously?! There’s not even a 3 in the hundreds place, or a 2! But a ONE?! Props to TheKnot for reminding me how little time we have to get SO much done! 195 days figures out to about 6 and a half months. I’ve thus decided that I will enjoy food and laziness until the exact 6-month point, December 13, and THEN make friends with the bulky elliptical sitting all lonely-like in my living room, along with all of my long lost pilates equipment. Gotta look fab in my amazing dress. :)

Reason #98273409 why I love my new blog: It’s distracting me from reading “The Case for the Personhood of Gorillas” by Francine Patterson and Wendy Gordon. Remind me why I’m in this class again?

Hey readers, where do you think Dylan and I should live after we get married? Anybody got some favorite must-live place you wanna share?? I dream and dream of Cali, but my man says no. Someday I will convince him! (I hope!) Comment now!

Oh man! I just have to share this crazy dream I had the other night! Mind you, I am infamous for my radically bizarre dreams. One time, I watched my cat turn into an onion before my very eyes – just to give you some perspective. Hah! Well, last Thursday night, I dreamt that it was our wedding day, and that I missed the entire ceremony! Well, not missed-missed. I was there, alright. But I sleepwalked down the aisle in an unconscious stupor, and only woke up during the kiss because everyone was shouting. All I kept thinking in my dream was, “I missed my own wedding! I didn’t get to see the look on Dylan’s face. I didn’t get to hear him say his vows. Who even knows how I said mine?!” When I woke up the next morning, I made Dylan promise to make sure I’m fully awake on that special Sunday afternoon. He said he’s gonna snap in my face once my dad gives me away.

Okay people, it is time I immerse myself in “The Case for the Personhood of Gorillas.” Sorry, just had to say that again! Stay tuned for a family shoot on Thursday!! :)
