Miss--Mashed--Monday

     Well here we are folks, its really late:thirty, or early A.M. whichever you want to call it, all I know is I'm trying to get a plan for my week. But when this is day eight of working to make the paycheck (me likey the OT), and you've been doing the photography stuff (me Love doing this) it gets difficult to get things done and ready to roll. Normally I try and plan out meals for the H2B for the week this way he at least eats healthy at work and doesn't need to spend the outrageous prices in the cafeteria. But it looks like it will be freezer food this week, unless the MIL2B comes through with her leftovers. Just take a look at what I have to work with:

-downstairs freezer- it looks like there's a frozen organic pizza, sweet potato fries, shredded cabbage, a couple of frozen dinners, bag of onions (from the garden), there should be a couple bowls of chili somewhere, other bags of frozen store bought veggies, and blueberry pancakes..........

-fridge freezer- turkey sausage links, waffles, veggie burgers, fried green beans, mixed veggies, bag of white potatoes, blueberries and also a bag of mixed frozen fruit, and why is there a Kroger bag in the freezer?? I should have taken a pic of the fridge but it would show the empty shelves that H2B believes he will starve to death this week, LOL, silly man, there's 'freezer food'! 

 

     I see several options to choose from and different combinations that WILL happen with what is on hand.  On other more important happenings Jingle in July 5K was on Saturday and as always this runners mom was there taking pictures (can't wait to share them) and was even able to try out my ""New"" invention that kept me dry and my hands were free to handle the camera......I'm excited to share with everyone what the doodad looks like!!

     I'm still taking photos of the Hope53 softball league games four nights a week, this little project has helped me a lot with action shots, AND I'm known as the 'picture' lady by most of the players. How Cool Is That!!

 

There's also my new friend Amy;

she's all kinds of crazy and of course we have connected from the get go!!


a runners mom--that's what I am!!

 

Not a Slacker!!

OK folks I know it's been like forever since my last post, and as always the fine line between life's balances still are a struggle. The bullets will give you all an outline of things -not in order- that have been going on, so that you know I haven't been a slacker,

• a nephew has found me after 30+ years, (it's been about that long since I last seen him-Long story as to why too come) corresponding through FB at this point,
• work, plus some OT, take it when I can,
• engagement picture photo shoot for my friends Rhonda and Trinadad, sooo much fun and the pictures were good considering I do mainly 'action' sport photos,
• the H2B and I had our own engagement pictures taken, this was a surprise for me, and now it's time to write up our announcement and get it to the paper,
• finalized on the balance of the 'little things' that always sneaks up on you when planning a wedding, even a small one like we're having,
• the ceiling guy finally made it (some our fault some his) to repair and patch all the ceilings in  order to paint before we get married,
• my grand-son was Baptized, not that this took up a lot of time but it was exciting to be a part of and also witness,
• took care of the grand-cats and the grand-dog while the kids were on vacation, this meant morning and night trips to their house, not that they live that far away from me but it's a new routine,
• H2B had suit shopping on his list of things to do for the wedding, fun to say the least and can't wait to tell you about the socks,  freakin' hilarious,
• Automate 30year anniversary photo shoot, this is where my SIL has worked for about 14 years,
• we went to a local play at Pioneer Playhouse and took the MIL2B as well-such an historic and awesome place,
• H2B has painted the ceilings-I supervised H2B calls it 'straw bossed' where ever that termed come from I have no clue,yes walls and trim will be painted too, bye bye ex-wife colors,
• I did another photo shoot of my two oldest grand-daughters, really pleased with the pictures
• wedding photographer for Rhonda & Trinidad-from mani's & pedi's to the cutting of the cake,
• 1 golf scramble photo shoot benefiting Holly's House, oh yeah, I don't know squat about golf!
• Six races, that's right "6"! Beef Festival 5K, Brass Band 5K, Capital City Stampede 10K, Twinkie Run 10K, Holly's House 5K, Firecracker 5K, and a partridge in a pear tree (you know you just sang that)  
• on top of all these things I've taken on providing pictures for Hope53 Ministries softball league. One of my runner kids-Ricky- is VP of this non-profit organization more about it later,
• And let's not forget all the necessary day to day activities, you know laundry, meal prep, meal shopping, cleaning, etc. etc. etc.

So here it is in a nut shell---I 'm not a Slacker!!
