Just another day…

So today was fairly good. I worked at the photography studio all day editing and entering jobs. The day started out with me attempting to fix a senior picture in photoshop of a girl whose blonde hair was completely washed out by the sunlight. There are a few problems with that because it is, obviously, too bright but also there is also no hair texture shown because of it. Anyway…after an hour, I was very happy with what came out of my “messing around”! I really don’t know what I’m doing with programs. I just mess around with them and hope for the best. lol Seriously. But it’s fun to me and this one I was VERY happy with! I think the best feeling was that the studio was impressed with the outcome. It just meant a lot to me.

At lunch I went into town to get something to eat and to run a couple of errands. On the way there, one of my pet peeves began to completely irritate me. It was a girl TAILGATING me. AAAHHHH!! I seriously can’t stand that. It drives me CA-RAZY. I mean…seriously…there is a problem if I look in my rear-view mirror and all I can see is your WINDSHIELD! No hood…just the windshield. Here’s another view: Going the other direction and a person is so close to someone I think, “Wow…you’d think they were TOWING them.” (And NO…I’m already going OVER the speed limit.) Let’s think about this people. Any of the possibilities occur – car in front of me slams on their brakes, a deer/moose/skunk/porcupine/field mouse runs in front of me and I have to swerve or brake even a little(sorry, but I will shout out a little prayer for the animal to move, but I will run over something small before I risk my own life), I have to turn and you’re not paying attention for .0015 seconds(because that’s all it will take for me to only see only the top of your car), you blink and anything happens, a bee distracts you in your car(Yes, Matt…I put this in for you) – you will be in the back of my car and your car will be a wreck. Then we will either have to deal with endless hospital bills, therapy, phone calls from bill collectors and insurances, lack of income from being out of a job from not being able to go to work…. GET MY POINT? It’s just truly not worth it. I promise. There is no point to put my life, your life, and anyone else’s life who is involved in our pile up, in danger. I’m a bit of a promoter of, “If it can be avoided, what’s the point of anything else?” There are enough things in life that happen that we are not able to avoid. Anyway…if you’re in the car with me someday and we have a tailgater, don’t be surprised to hear me ranting and raving about how RE-DICULOUS I think the person is behind me…turn around quickly and give them one of the “Danielle looks” or slow down to make them get the point. Okay…letting go. For now. Ha!

I have a lot of homework to do. Ick. Am I doing it? No. I am exhausted. I will get up in a minute to begin to bake some cookies for a couple of groups of guys tomorrow when I go to Brockton, MA. I think chocolate chip oatmeal. Then I’ll start to read the book I have to have a book review done on by Sunday p.m. Tomorrow morning I’ll get up really early to take Chaeta to the vet (which will not be fun). I will definitely be praying about that NOW. I usually make Matt take her because it stresses me out. Can you imagine me NOW? 6 mo pregnant bobbing around as Chaeta goes crazy trying to run away or kill someone. She gets so scared, she actually bares her teeth at the vets. Some of them “get her”, but sometimes some of them are just terrible about it. I mean…you think you’d GET that she’s just scared. I have to have a muzzle on her every time. She has to get some shots and have her front joints checked out. She is incessantly licking them and they are now RAW. It’s awful and it is driving me crazy. Just another thing…

I’m so tired so I need to get up and start the cookies. I’ll have to move my paints first, though. Oh yes…I started a new painting for Katelyn’s room I think. I don’t know. I didn’t really know what it was going to be but it seems to be a painting portraying our family. Matt, myself, Ryan, Nathan and Katelyn. No, it’s not people. Maybe I’ll take a picture of it when I’m done. Depends on what it looks like when it’s done.

Okay, Dad. All the years of making you your concoction of baking soda and water for your heartburn…I truly feel for ya. This extreme heartburn is awful. My cold is getting better. Chaeta is burying a bone in her towel I gave her which is annoying me. Jeopardy is on and I know nothing. Holy CRAP…I take that back. I knew the answer was Echinacea. Thanks, Mom for all those years of vitamins and healthy herb knowledge.
