My Life in a Box



The "box" I speak of happens to be one of my own creation. That is just how I roll these days!

For two days now I have been sitting on my fit ball at my desk redesigning the look of my website. Through tears and sleeplessness and hunger, once I realized my brain lapse into coma was from hunger and lack of sleep, I have created my masterpiece! Now I am learning to build it in software programs I do NOT know how to use. Thank God for the internet and all the tutorials and forums available to those of us who have always refused schooling in any subject or capacity outside of our own obsessive needs.

I digress. It is beautiful.

Back to the "box".

My new Camera system....Dream!

This morning while getting ready to blog I noticed the "wishlist" link in my profile and proceeded to make a complete camera package wish list for myself from Amazon.com to post here. If anyone ever wants to buy me a gift THAT is THE place to go! Make no mistake buying jewels or glitter, it is all about the gear for me. ;)

Now that I've had coffee and my stomach is screaming for food, 3 hours later, I must stop and cook my breakfast.

There is such a big weekend ahead for me: a noon birthday Q in Beechwood Cyn, out of town childhood friend landing LAX at 1pm, another birthday in Venice at 4...my cousin's twin boys' birthday to photograph Sunday afternoon. It looks like I'll have gear on my person everywhere I go, no doubt.

Another long time avoided project began last night. I spent the dusk hours into evening finally creating an Etsy sellers account so I can get my Grandmother's vintage couture photographed and online for sale. I do need a dress form, ideally, to take the initial photos. I don't really want to do self portraits or bother a friend to play hours of dress up time. You'd think as long as I've been talking about this one of my ladies would have volunteered by now, but obviously this isn't anyone's idea of a good time.

Ah, my hunger pains have gone away. Leave it to the brain to always take over and disregard those bodily necessities. That must be what has happened to my love life. Well, back to the kitchen! If you can't stand the heat....
