My fingers are flying like crazy over the keyboard in order to do this quickly. Okay, quickly as in 48-60 wpm, not very fast, but I like to think I’m an awesome typist. I have much to do. The kids and I are going to a church retreat tomorrow and won’t be returning until Sunday afternoon or evening. Then I’ll have to bake and frost a cake. It’s my birthday. My 34th to be exact.
Volunteering: I will volunteer every other Thursday through the end of the year then we’ll fill out a new calendar. The gym smells the same. The Asteroids arcade game isn’t there. It’s probably a good thing ‘cause I rock at Asteroids.
Photography business: I received my business cards, registered my business name, finished the family photos from last week and delivered them, finished up a wedding reception and will put them in the mail today. I have 2 senior photo sessions to do…then I need more work. I can’t really do any editing today because I am merging all my photo libraries into one library. Then I’ll go organize them better. So far I have over 16,000 photos in 3 years. Amazing.
I think I need to write a business plan, but I don’t know what that is or how to do it. It sounds good, though.
Reading: I was able to read Les Mis without interruption and I find it quite interesting. I still am not sure about a lot of things, but that’s okay. I’m also reading a book by Evan Morris called The Word Detective. It’s a humorous little book on word meanings. Do you know what bloviate means, by the way? And yes, it is a word!
I got a much needed oil change yesterday. I’m not sure why that made me feel so grown up. I used to actually change my own oil, but that was on my lovely Bertha- a 76 Dodge Dart slant 6. She was green with one yellow door and the gas gauge barely worked. Just ask Rob Porter. He ran out of gas in my car on the way to Cornerstone in Chicago.
My checkbook is balanced, my bills figured out, my laundry mostly clean, and I am showered and dressed. I feel accomplished.
