My First Post

Sorry it’s a long one…

So, this is my first blog post. I decided to start this blog after reading other blogs, and I thought it would be a good way to get on paper (or “put my black on the white” as Jessica with 503 Photography would say) some things that were going through my mind. I fully intend on this being completely random as I suspect most blogs are. My mind wanders a good bit & bounces from subject to subject & quite often has multiple things going through it at the same time. I’m not crazy, really! LOL! I’m just busy. I think this will be a nice outlet for me, so if you want to read please do & feel free to comment back too. I hope you will find this blog a comforting one as I’m sure you will be able to relate to some of the things I might write about. Also, being a lover of photography & having a photography business, you will probably be seeing photos & other posts on this subject as well. I hope you enjoy! Now to my “vent” for the day…

Just about a week ago cleaned out under my bathroom cabinets & threw out all of the old make-up that for some reason I have kept (some of it for years!), because I tried it & didn’t like the color or I thought I’d use it for special occasions, etc. (if you know me you know that I don’t wear much make-up anyway so the fact that I had enough to fill almost and entire grocery bag is insane.) Anyway, I decided to get a few new things so I placed an order with my friend Kelly who sells Avon. I love Avon and have been using a lot of their skin care products & some make-up for several years now. I’m not exclusively an Avon user, but I have really liked everything I have tried. Again, if you know me you know how cheap I am (as in I don’t do debt & I’m a complete bargain hunter). I decided to purchase a set of eye shadow that cost $9! That is a big step for me I usually pay $0.99 - $2.99 (maybe) for something like eye shadow. I thought, well I’m helping a friend out by purchasing it, it does have 3 colors & it says “NO CREASE” on it. HA! Yeah right. I have never worn an eye shadow that didn’t crease. I thought I would give Jillian Dempsey the benefit of the doubt… Well at 10:30 this morning I looked in the mirror & guess what? Yep, I have a crease! Oh well, it is still a nice set of colors & I will continue to wear it but dang! $9 & it doesn’t do anything extra special for me?

On another note, don’t you just hate when you are wearing pants with strapy sandals & the bottom of your pants keeps slipping its way between your heel & the sandal? AHHH it’s driving me crazy today!
