She said OK

After seeing the pictures I had taken (post editing), Andi agreed to let me post them. She realized I had taken out a few umm...imperfections and was happy with the result. These aren't all of them but they are the best ones. I have to say I am really proud of myself. I think they are pretty dog gone cute! What do you think??

What I've been up to...

A lot actually. Projects and assignments from school are nonstop. If I'm not writing a 5 page research paper on solutions for divorce, I'm making a book cover, color wheel, or taking awesome pictures of my prego friend Andi. Yeah we had a portrait assignment and had to bring someone with us. First I took my friend Kristy, she is also pregnant. The pictures turned out really good. If only I knew how to better work my camera, I wouldn't have accidentally erased them. All. I cried. But good thing I have such a great friend like Andi. She came with me the next week because Kristy had to work. I wouldn't say she was eager, but she helped out nonetheless. I bet if you all ask her nicely, she'll let me post some of the pictures on here. They really turned out awesome. But since she hasn't okayed it yet I'll post these quite amusing pictures of my cat Shadow.

I actually bought this sweater for my dog Ozzy at Target. He is always so cold and shivering that I thought he'd like it. Wrong. After a half hour of getting it on him while he growled and snarled and snapped at me, it was to small. So what better to do than torture the cat with it. You can't really tell from the pictures but he was walking around backward trying to get out of it. Priceless. Well that's all I have time for now.

Don't forget to ask (beg) Andi to let me post some pics of her.

It's a good thing

that Ben works 3rd shift. I have come to the conclusion that is nearly impossible for me to fall asleep when it is the weekend and he is home. sleeping. at night. in my bed. I don't see how other people do it. Even if I do fall asleep, I can't ever STAY asleep when he is there. Of course this has no effect on him whatsoever. He actually sleeps BETTER when I'm with him. Just my luck. He's in there sound asleep as I speak (or well type I guess.) You'd think since we have a king size bed that I would be fine, but I'm not. He needs to get his own bed.....hmmm......not a bad idea. just kidding. Anyone have any idea how I could get over this???

Not so good

Last night was the first night in awhile that Ben and I actually got to spend some time together because of my hectic schedule. So we decided to watch Blades of Glory with Will Ferrell and it was pretty much awesome. Then Ben really wanted to make some home made chocolate chip cookies which I thought sounded yummy. Let me give you a little background on my cooking. It sucks. I always seem to mess up ANYTHING I make somehow. For example, for the 4th of July I made a homemade cheese cake and it came out soggy, messy, gross. Unless it comes in a box, I will mess it up. But I thought, "how could I possibly ruin chocolate chip cookies?" and besides, Ben (being the much better cook) was right there with me. So we got to cooking and all went fine....until the first batch came out of the oven. They looked like crap...literally....crap. We had no idea why they looked so gross until I took one more look at the recipe. It called for 2 and 1/4 cups of flour and I only put 1 1/4.... oops. Needless to say I felt like an absolute idiot. So we fixed the problem and finished the rest of them and they were all quite scrumptious.
SO....I've decided I need to start cooking more often then I do now....which is never, to get some practice. I want to be a good cook. So I will be trying new recipes and see how badly I can mess them up to. Hopefully I will get better at it.

A Pirate's Life For Me

At least that is the theme for my still life photo I had to do for school. So I've decided that since I never really have anything interesting to blog about I will start blogging more of my work. So if you like pictures, I will be having lots more! Here is the project I did for still life. Although it looks like it was shot outside on a nice sunny beach this was actually in a studio, I was pretty impressed with myself for having such a cool theme cause everyone else did boring things. I made them jealous though, I was even told that! So anyway here is my latest piece.



I must give credit to Ben of course, cause the pirate accessories were provided by him, but the idea was all mine, except the sand, my instructor actually just happened to have some in the studio and asked me if I wanted it. I think it adds a lot to it. Let me know what you all think! I up for any criticism anyone has.

Lost and Found

Well when we got to church today, I asked my neighbor (one of the animal contol officers) if he had seen my Ozzy anytime yesterday. He said that another guy picked him up and took him to the Police Station and they had the pound pick him up. I was so relieved, after worrying about im all night. So he brought him to us today and he is fine. It turns out he was probably only outside like 10 minutes before someone found him because the police station is literally right around the corner from our apartment. But he got his very own cage at the pound because Darrell said he was scared of the other dogs. He was probably just cold and shivering but who knows. But I hope he learned his lesson by having to spend the night in the doggie slammer!

On the Loose!

Yep that would be my dog Ozzy. He has run away from home today about 1 o'clock because our front door didn't latch when we closed it and he got out. I am pretty upset because I know he is not the brightest animal and cannot possibly find his way home, not to mention he is VERY cold natured and is probably shivering to death in the cool weather tonight. So if you all could be on the look out for this dog...

it would be very much appreciated. We live on the square so if you live or happen to be by the surrounding area please keep your eye out. Thank you!
