Burnt my finger making dinner and of course its my right index one. I really did a number on it. Looks nasty. Only feels good on ice. LOL...as soon as I take it off the ice bag, it hurts like shit.
Ok, stepped away from here for a bit and the finger is now doing much better after icing it for over an hour. Gonna be a NICE blister! LOL...at least I can type better now and not have to hunt and peck. hehehe....
So what has everyone been up too? Work is driving me crazy as usual. Has been a madhouse since I got back. My co~worker is convinced they saved up shit for when I got back. LOL...she may be onto something there.
I'm finally getting back into the swing of exercise! Whoa! LOL...at least I have maintained my weight the past few months. Dropped and gained the same 5 pounds over and over and over. It's getting old now. So I think I am finally ready to give this a go again. What is it about warm summer days that make you renew the faith to get the weight off? This will be a lifetime struggle, so I best get used to it now.
I email with Amy Smith, Chris (cygnet) and Tina (tmarie) daily. I could not do this without them. They are my rocks. As are all of you, but they have really been here for me thru my surgery and other shit that I don't mention here. I'm trying to plan a trip to meet Amy maybe in Sept. Rob has to cover for a co-worker that has cancer and is going out soon for his surgery and will be gone for several months.
Ok, I need to go upload some pics for you all...so I will be back shortly.
Done uploading pics - did you miss me? hehehe...Now I just gotta add them all to this post. 17 total. LOL...when it rains, it pours! I know you all want to see some wedding pics that I took for my friend, but her daughter and her mom really didn't want me posting them to my blog. I will post a few (they don't know my blog addy) but I will take them off this post in a couple of days. So if you snooze, you lose! Also, Amy sent me a pic that she took of herself and had me turn it black and white, soft focus and leave part in color. She has allowed me to show you all my talents at Paint Shop Pro. I have really started to master that program and it's awesome! I highly recommend it. Also, a few from the wedding are special effects as well. Then we have some of our new pool. We are going to have a pool and BBQ party on June 24th for our 1st wedding anniv. It should be tons of fun! Lastly, there is one of me and Sierraslim from the NS board. She lives here too and we met up a couple weeks ago and I took some before pics of her and some of the rose garden at the Capitol. Boy do I ever need to lose weight! I look TERRIBLE!!! ugh...I almost didnt post any of me.
Enjoy....

Beautiful Amy!
I hope you all enjoyed! I will try to be better at posting more often again! I just have a lot on my plate right now with work and other photo projects. I'm making a wedding book for the couple above and then I took some retirement pics at my firm for a great man who retired last Thursday. I want to do him a book as well. Plus I want to make a parents wedding album for my friend as a surprise. LOL...so busy busy!!! Hugs to all!

Love the pics! They're gorgeous! If I weren't so computer stupid, as you well know, I'd be buying that program in a heartbeat. Of course I don't have your talent in the photography arena, so my pics definitely wouldn't be anywhere near as good as yours! I hope you can make it to CO to visit Amy! You guys will have a blast. We'll still have to drag her butt out to CA sometime! Tell her we have an ocean or something, wouldya?
Hey my friend! :) The pics are great. Thanks for sharing. You know I couldn't go a day without your e-mails. Love ya! Looking forward to your visit; otherwise I'm coming out there to see you all. :) Wish me luck convincing Mike on that one. hehe
