Shattered Sun

So I almost forgot to do my blog entry for the day. Look at that, day 15 of 365 and I almost forgot!! Craziness! Anyway, I’m lying in bed, typing this up on my laptop. I was working on a new logo for wekeli because I decided that I haven’t really found what I’m looking for. I would hire someone else to do it but I don’t feel like spending the money and I’d like to think it’s something I can handle. I think I’ll throw up the options here and get your opinions on them. Why not, right? The worse you can tell me is that they all suck. The best would be getting some feedback to move forward with. No woman is an island and I think it’s especially noticeable in me. I want to be reminded at how good I’m doing. I mean, I know when I’m achieving my goals but I love it when other people are seeing that I am, too. It’s a show off thing, I think. Then again, don’t we all have that need to feel worthy and accepted by the masses?

I’m going to the dentist tomorrow. About my tooth. I’m so not looking forward to it! And the cost. Ugh. Why is dentistry so dang expensive? I mean, I don’t want it to be cheap. I just wish that I could get a break, ya know? It’s the bane of my existence. And on that note, I’m heading to bed. My head hurts from this blasted tooth and there’s this whole stress thing in WoW. Which is silly, it’s just a game. And yet, I’m stressed. Time for a WoW break, I think.

Today was a lazy day. We didn’t really do anything except hang out at home and chill out. Z was kind of spazzing, so it was… interesting. Worked on some photos and generally just ran amok around the house. Think I’ll just continue relaxing and then head to bed.

By the way, threw a ton of really really old photos up on Flickr because I wasn’t linking them on my website and they’re older than dirt. But still, I figured that they’d be of some value to family and friends. So, enjoy them!

It was a party here! Well, not really. But we took Z to the movies (have to love free movie tickets from work) and he wanted to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Great movie! Didn’t expect to see the divine Helen Mirren in it (perk!) or Bruce Greenwood (another perk!) and the plot was fast paced & well written. Just loved Greenwood as the President. Beyond being a drop dead sexy man (meow!), he just seems to fit into a leadership role.

The only complaint I have is that they left it obviously open for a third installment (Page 47 anyone?) and I dislike that because it means I have to sit and wait to find out what the answer is. Do they really have to be so cryptic? Oh well, it was a great movie anyway.

Today, little Z hit nine years old. Man, was he thrilled! It’s not every day that he has a birthday (duh) but being the person he is, he relishes his day more than I’ve seen anyone. With the exception of maybe me. But I digress! He is a nut today. Was just in a fabulous mood and had a fantastic day. And we didn’t get him much (he didn’t really want much) but we did get him balloons. Lots of them. You see, for my birthday I got a balloon with my flowers and that’s all he really wanted. I told him, ok, we’ll see. That’s pretty much my standard response to his requests. (Which could be considered lame, but he’ll hold me to anything that’s not completely vague.) And today, I did exactly that and then some. We got him 1 huge balloon and then 12 small balloons. Oh, and J had picked him up a different balloon before he picked me up from work, so really, the kid got fourteen balloons for his birthday. He was thrilled beyond words. I’m going to see if I can take him to the nearby park tomorrow and get some pictures with his balloons. They’re supposed to last long enough, so I’m hoping that if I go in the morning hours, I’ll be able to get some different shots. Here’s to dreaming!

One of my unspoken goals this year is to find photo opportunities everywhere. That’s my hope, anyhow. I’m looking to loosen my control and be more creative. I just feel a spark and I really think this is my year. We’ll see, right? By the way, Z’s hands up there holding the blueberries. He’s very patient with me. Gosh, I love him.
