Thursday's Thoughts

1. I am so tired of itching. I'm not scratching, though. The doctor told me yesterday that what I have is a rash that started as a little bump (which it did), then I itched it... itched somewhere else and it just spread like wildfire from there. Isn't that nice? I love talking about my rash, just keeps the dirtiness going..



So, he gave me this new cream that I can put on as much as I want to keep me from scratching, thereby hopefully eliminating this rash. Good News: Cream worked at first. Bad News: Key word: WORKED. It worked for about the first 12 hours, now my rash has won the battle with the cream and the cream no longer works very well, so as I sit here typing this, both my elbows are on fire itching, as they have been since 5:30 this morning when it woke me up. Annnnndd.. there goes my knee...



NICE.



2. I had to go to the DMV today to renew my license with both kids and it was raining outside. I was really anxious about this. I even considered giving Noah a little benadryl. Yes, I did... CONSIDER it. I know, GREAT parenting... but I was TERRIFIED of him being a terror and them kicking me out, refusing to renew my license. But I braved it. Didn't give him the benadryl, and I was in and out in less than 25 minutes.



AMAZING.



Now I'm good for 8 yrs. So the next time I need to renew, Emma will be almost 13 (INSANE to even think about her being that old) so she will be very capable of helping me with any small children I may or may not have at that time.



3. Emma's in love with her best friend Garrett. I think I've already told you all this, but she came up here decked out in her Cinderella gear the other night and informed me that Garrett could be her Prince Charming.



I almost fell on the floor.



4. I have two weddings booked. I'm more excited about this than I can even put into words. Let me tell you, though... one is my brother-in-law. It will totally be a gift, hence NO CHARGE. The other, one of my bff's, who is renewing her vows. Which means another gift. Same.. NO CHARGE. This is so exciting to me, though, because I so want to be a wedding photographer, so I'm just so grateful to God for sending me these two opportunities, that will hopefully prepare me to be an actual Professional Wedding Photographer who gets PAID. Yes, P-A-I-D. :)



5. My new camera comes in Monday. Very excited about that. Just in time for two shoots later next week. YAY!



6. I can't wait for our trip to the beach in a couple of weeks, hopefully Noah will get a chance to play with his new friends, Izey, Ian, Miah and Emma-Kay again. I hope you girls are still gonna come visit us down there! :) Oh, and my Emma really wants to play with all the kids too. I didn't tell her that she missed out on the fabulous day we had last week, instead, I just let her eat as many of the cupcakes as she wanted.



7. I need to lose like 30 pounds by this time next month. You think that's even a vague possibility? Amy and I are doing this big photoshoot day of each other and I want to be skinny for it. Any ideas on how to drop that much weight in thirty days? And please don't tell me how unhealthy that is. That's not the kind of advice I'm looking for.... ;)

8. Emma has this thing about turning on 500 lights and not turning them off. This really set me off last night because I've told her a million times not to do it. Any advice for how to teach kids that electricity isn't free?

9. I kind of already have baby fever. This freaks me out a little.

10. Does it tick anyone else off that on Tuesday nights, Dancing with the Stars' Results show overlaps the first hour of American Idol? I loved TV this week, because Dancing came on Mondays and Tuesdays and Idol came on last night and tonight. This makes me much happier. Why can't it always be that way?

11. Sorry for the boring list and for ending it on an odd number and for not providing pictures, but these are the things on my mind at the moment.

Well, I feel your weight loss woes, but I don't really think 30 pounds in a month is possible. You would have to burn an extra 3600 calories EVERY day! But hey, if someone gives you an idea that works pass it on woman. My hubby is coming home is 29 days! Ask Jess' husband, he once lost 11 pounds in 18 hours. I'm pretty sure he's a mutant though, that CANNOT be normal.

Good luck on the wedding shoot! Maybe the new camera will ensure success!

Oh and don't know the whole picture-less post... I never have pictures! But my blog isn't as popular, maybe there is a correlation. I wish my camera worked. All I have is my phone and I'm too lazy to dig out the usb cord from storage. I'm waiting until I get a home to spend money on a new camera. Maybe in a few months you will see an all new alphabet blog! We'll see.


By the way, how old is your little Noah?

Ewww... I have to find out how he lost 11 pounds in 18 hours... that does sound a little mutant-y, but hey, I'm willing to be a mutant if that's the kinds of results they get!

And Noah is 10 months old. His birthday is May 15!

Hey lady, I hope you can finally find something to get rid of that annoying rash!! As for #7 you find out anything let me know!!!
New camera, whatcha getting???
2 weddings Congratulations girl!!! I remember when I did my 1st wedding I was sooo nervous...Hopefully your family is better than mine, they wanted me to take the pics, but didn't want to listen to anything I said, bc they wanted great rushed pics!! It's funny how they forget that, they are the ones in the pic, so to go fast cooperation is needed...lol I have had the chance for others though, that were a little more cooperative! I wish you the Best of Luck!! I know they'll be great!
Also, I love when you guys blog lists!!!

i'm glad you have baby fever :) u should. i predict pregnant within a couple months *wink* come on..everyone else is doing it!!!

austin only lost that much weight cuz he's a freak of nature. he isn't normal and what he did to lose it wasn't normal either. it involved, a sauna, not eating ANYTHING, colon cleansers, sweating profusly while running...all of which is totally stupid. the things he'll do for the marines, right? crazinesss.
