Big thing on my mind:
Well, I should be at work right now. I really want to be at work right now. My car has decided that it doesn't want me to go to work and be a responsible adult. And now it's like the 5th time in the last month that my car has forced me to call in to work, and I fell like that's not very good for my continued employment. So in the last three-ish months I spent $900 on the radiator, another $300 new two tires, rotation and a tire sealing process to stop leaks, and finally after weeks of battery issues due to the arctic apocalypse we have been having here a final $150 on a new battery and instal. And it is STILL having issues. When I went to pick it up from the battery change 2 days ago I went to drive it out of the lot and it started shaking and died. Of course I went back inside and told him and he sent someone out to get it and check out the problem. That guy started it up and limped it back into the garage. A little later he came back and said that he had hooked it up and got codes indicating that the computer needed to "reset and relearn itself" so the guy had done something (not a clue what) and drove it around (even going to the highway) and came back. Both guys said I was good to go and if I had anymore problems to call them. So, ok, drove it back to work and it was fine, drove it home from work that night and it was fine. I was off yesterday and didn't go anywhere, so no issues, but today I went to start it up to let it warm up and "chugga-chugga-shaky-shaky-shaka-shake". Dad came and we tried heat and nothing. He pulled off the oil cap and it was damp, but since it did the EXACT same thing the other day and then was fine he didn't think it was the head gasket. So ya, I need a new car, this one isn't paid off, and I have NO money. Like zilch, zip, nadda. This car shit is just getting out of hand and ridiculous and I am in need of winning the lottery.
Another thing from the last week:
Well, this was a bigger deal in my head 5 days ago, but my team lost in their first game of the playoffs for the 3rd year in a row. It hurt. A lot. I am not into many sports, but I do bleed green and gold, growing up with 5 brothers and lots of guys in general has made me a bit of a crazy person about football. It was a very sad night. And now I start rooting for the Seahawks. As I watch the game right now, things are looking quite good.
Something I'm SUPER excited for!!!
A friend of mine from work is going to help me with my foray into unnatural/alternative hair colors!! Looking at blue to green, or vise versa, or just some combo of the two colors. I have lots of pictures for inspiration and she is an incredible artist who does her own gorgeous hair all the time and it always looks killer.
Yet another thing:
I am starting to have dreams about this building that I am on the waiting list for. They are these gorgeous artist lofts in an old converted brewery, and I CANNOT wait to live there. Starting to solidify my living crap for between now and then. I just really like living alone and don't want roommates, so that provides a big obstacle.
A funny thing from work the other night:
There is a customer who comes into the store I work at about once a week. He has always looked a little familiar to me, but that was always eclipsed by me turning into a spaz every time he walks in the door. He's just really attractive and hits every one of my favorite things in guys. He's just perfect, I can't describe it well. So he came in the other night and I immediately ran into a wall/swinging door corner. Then I was trying to go about my business and was up on a ladder putting something away and he came around a corner and I almost fell off said ladder. I also spilled soup down my front on a third occasion. After he checked out I found out his name. Which was funny, because he had the same name of a guy I knew when I was younger whom he reminded me of. But I didn't think about it too much. Told my mom about him that night, because she knew the guy he reminded me of. Then later when looking up the name on Facebook, I discover it is the SAME person and I do in fact know him!!! My mind was blown. Still can't muster up any normalcy to go and talk to him (because sentences haven't worked for me when I have tried in the past). But at least now I know who he is. I also think I remember him getting married like 5 years ago. Le sigh, at least I got a funny story.
Random thought:
Tinder is a thing. Not sure about it. Seems stupid, but I am always skeptical and have never had any luck with dating sites or anything like that. Or, really, dating/relationships at all for that matter. Any one have thoughts about Tinder?
And Finally:
I will be in Austin, TX in June!!! I was thinking of trying to find out if there are any SGs down there or any SG photographers?? I would love to do a set in San Antonio or perhaps even on the coast? I would absolutely LOVE to shoot a set in the ocean.
Oh…And A First Set Update:
First round of elimination for getting the 302 photos down to 50ish is done!! But I'm pretty sure it's still over 150 to narrow down, so it's just a baby step. I am HOPING to get the set submitted in the next month, and then hopefully quickly into member review. I really have no idea how long it will take. But here are a few teasers. Like I said a while ago, I have never modeled before, but I love the way they turned out!
