Inspired

I joined a local photography group a few months back, and last night we had a monthly meeting then went out for dinner/drinks.

Last night was the first time I have went out to eat afterwards, but I am so glad that I did.  I found myself surrounded by amazing photographers from architectural photographers to a professional monument photographer (how cool is that!)

These people inspire me to be the best photographer I can be. As I was sitting there I couldn't help but think, man I really don't belong here.

But then I realized that the beauty of photography is that everyone belongs because photography is such a broad field. I think that is why I love it so much, there is something for everyone, whether it is shooting people or monuments.

Photography is my passion!

Some of  my friends and family say that it will take me nowhere and think that I am wasting my time. Well I dont take photos to try to get somewhere, I take photos because it is my way of realeasing all of those daily stressors in my life and because I enjoy every second of it from the time of capture to the finished edited photo.

So I encourage everyone who reads this to go for whatever passion you have in life whether it is photography or being a pro chess player.

 Do whatever make YOU happy and forget the rest because they are the ones missing something in their life!

Go on and get inspired!

G is for a Googleing Goddess

This weeks letter is G.

I instantly knew what I was going to post about!

I am a self proclaimed Googleing Goddess!

Whenever I have a question no batter how big, small, or embarrassing I have my trusty professor  to go to, GOOGLE!

I seriously don't know what people did before the internet came along!

Is it weird that I type in random letters and words to see what people have searched? Believe me theres some weird stuff that people search, quite disturbing actually!

This is what came up when I typed in why does...

Why does my eye twitch?

Why does my poop float?

Why does my belly button smell?

Why does my dog eat poop?

Keep in mind this is the exact order they were in too! Whats up with poop?

Weird People, very weird, and I thought I googled weird stuff!

Go check out what else people have searched, come on, you know you want to!

This googleing goddess is signing off for now!

Happy Thursday to you!

A little bit about me....

Here are ten things that I bet you didn't know about me!

Here we go:

1. 
   
   I am a left handed. I use to think it was cool that I was left handed until I read this article! My college couselor even told me there are even scholarships for left handed people!
2. 
   
   I grind my teeth at night like a crazy person! I wear a mouth guard, but every single night it somehow comes out! I wake Eric up in the middle of the night because I grind them so hard, my poor hubby!
3. 
   
   I was an Asst. Manager at Pier 1 Imports! I loved my job, I was only 18 when I was promoted to manager. I learned so much working their!
4. 
   
   Eric and I have been dating since I was 15! He got my number from my cousin after school, I was so excited when I found out, I thought he was so cool. I went home and held the phone hostage until he called that night! We talked for two hours the first night and we have been pretty much inseperable since then! I love him so much!
5. 
   
   I have been trying to "go green" these past few months. I am using reusable grocery bags, making my own household cleaner, trying to use less paper towels, (which is very hard for me) I've been using microfiber towels for dusting.We also switched alI of our lightbulbs to the energy efficient ones. I just feel like it is my responsibility to do what I can to help this beautiful planet that God gave us stay like this for my great grandchildren to enjoy! I also think that it is better for our health to clean with as much all natural cleaner as possible.
6. 
   
    I don't think that I  have ever told what type of camera I have! I have a Canon 40D, which I absolutely Love!
7. 
   
   I LOVE Rachael Ray, she is the coolest spunkiest person ever and she always makes me  smile! Meeting her in person it on my "to do before I die list".
8. 
   
   I go to Goodwill at least twice a week! I have so many fabulous finds from there! like these:

please excuse these pictures they are pretty horrid and of course I can't get them to align right! Grrrr...

9. I hate doing laundry. Actually, its not actually washing and drying that I hate, its the folding and putting away! So if you come to my house at any given time there will be a basket of laundry sitting on my bed.

10. I wear jeans pretty much every day of the week! I am totally bummed because my favorite pair of jeans just wore through in both knees. It's time though, I have had them since I was 17, plus I only paid like $20 for them from Target.

Well there you have it folks, ten totally random tid-bits about me! Hope you enjoyed!

Happy Monday to you!
