Super Bowl? Where?

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Ursula's Orange Roses

It’s Super Bowl weekend and of course, being in Arizona, people are a bit nuts this weekend. The parties have been happening all week through out the valley (mostly in Snobsdale, because that’s where the rich mainly live). And yet, I’ve been mostly unaffected by it. I don’t really care who wins or loses. I’m just not into football. Can someone explain to me the draw of the game? I don’t understand how people can just lunge into each other, chasing after a ball. I guess it’s not worse than soccer in that sense. Except I find soccer players more attractive than football players. Maybe that’s it for me. Maybe if I found football players attractive, I’d actually want to watch their games. As it is, the only things worth watching are the commercials, the half time show, and the cheerleaders. :) It’s all about the entertainment, right?

And into February we go…

Flame
(MUCH Better Larger)

It was a quiet night. Had chinese food and contemplated life. Okay, not really. :D However, I did put some plans in action for my weekend. My thought it that I should take some time tomorrow and try to finish up some more random photos. I’ve got a lovely section on my Picasa where I mark all the photos that I should do something with. And I got really creative with the name and called it… “Do Something with These”. Original, I know. :) You’re jealous of my writing talent now, aren’t you? :D

I also need to get everything worked out with organizing my photos. I’ve been doing a little bit every day in an attempt to get them all wrangled the way they’re supposed to be. I have been doing something similar with my music, too. As much as I love my iTunes, I found that when I switched computers, I was unable to keep my music organized like I had hoped. So, I’m going through, getting rid of duplicates (who knew they took up so much room) and then tagging them, too. I think this will make my life mucho easier later on, once I get a system in place. The hardest part about organization is getting through the initial parts of it. I think that once it’s done, it’s much easier to maintain. Similar to weight loss, in that respect.

Anyway, I have a session coming up for both this weekend and next, which I am so terribly excited about. :) They’re going to be mainly Valentine sessions, with a little something extra thrown in. :) I’ll post photos when I get them finished! :)

Pretty pretty!

Ursula's Orange Roses
(Better Larger)

I know that the guys probably get tired of the whole lot of flower shots I take, but I think they’ll get over it! :) Hope everyone had a fantastic day. I was swamped again at work. But at least I got to leave work on time, head to the printer, proof the newsletter type thing for work, and generally goofing off this evening. I had to take a semi-relaxing evening. I think I was killing myself a wee bit. As I mentioned on Twitter, I think I’m overdoing it a little bit with managing my stress and it’s just getting to me. Just a wee bit. ;) Anyway, I’m heading to bed early tonight, going to enjoy a little bit of some pogo games and then actually try to get enough sleep to want to get up early in the morning for some exercising. I think the exercising might be the key to energizing me in the morning hours. :)

Feeling Tropical

This probably won’t be a long post this evening. I’m feeling the need for a vacation. How’s that sound to y’all? Just a break at work, really. It’s getting near the end of the month and everyone always stressing during this time of the month. It’s cruddy and I think it’s contagious in a small office like mine. People just seem to be all over the board right now. Just trying to beat the clock, I guess you could say. Anyhow, I’m going to head to bed. Get up early, get some work done. And then, go to work and get more work done. ;) How much fun does that sound to you?? Me, too! :P Oh, went and bought just the most adorable pillows for some valentine photo sessions today. They be the cutest! I am taking some photos this weekend (a mini session) and I think they’ll come in mighty handy. J says that I’m not going to get the little girl to give them back though! :D

Slight back step on the weight loss. It’s okay. Cake at work = bad for Nisey. Gonna have to start having more will power and self control around that stuff. Thank goodness the holidays are over though!

Not yet dead

Not Dead Yet
(Better Larger)

So. Yeah. Flowers might keep giving after they’re dead but my phone did not. I can’t seem to access it, though the memory card works! :) Not that it does me a fat lot of good, but I’m looking for the silver lining here. I didn’t have much on it that I can’t replace. Except that I have to go through and re-enter all the contacts. That’s the part that sucks. I hate having to re-enter everything. So yeah, it sucks. I don’t even know for sure if I have everyone’s numbers written down. I can honestly say that I never expected my phone to suddenly stop working. Let this be a lesson to you, back up everything. :P I’m off to try to figure out my phone (it’s nothing fancy, which might be why I’m having a rough time with it) and hopefully to dream of beautiful musical things to come. :)
