Just a quick note to say I’ve been up since 5:30am and I’m so not loving it. Worse is when there really is no point to me being up this early. I seriously sat around waiting for the next person to arrive at work for over an hour yesterday. Good thing I brought a book.

Update: My boss was there when I got in this morning. Can’t begin to tell you what a difference that makes to my day. That hour of sitting around doing nothing really kills my momentum in the morning.

Don’t know how I missed this, but my blog is actually 1 year and 1 week old today! I’ll try and do a Teaser when I get home from work.

This was one of my favorite performances from Wednesday night…

So, broken toe or no broken toe, I kept my promise to take her to Mud Island Friday. This proved to be a bit tricky as I had to find places to put my foot up so that the toe would stop swelling. Fortunately we had a friend along and that helped to keep her entertained. I took several shots of my favorite bridge and river, it was just too easy, as well as a ton of the girls playing in the “river”.

As we walked along the river, taking breaks when my toe screamed too loudly, I did a bit of people watching. I caught myself being particularly mindful of men’s clothing. I saw everything from guys in suits to skate rats to comfy casual shirt and shorts. Funny but the guys I’m always drawn to are the ones who traverse that range easily and with a certain sense of appropriateness. Since I work with a lot of high school athletes now, I’ve become even more aware of how a guy’s clothing affects the way he is perceived by others. Guess it really is worth it to invest a little in your appearance.

Since the River walk is an exact scale model of the Lower Mississippi River flowing from its confluence with the Ohio River at Cairo, Illinois 954 miles south to the Gulf of Mexico, it is to be expected that our journey’s mid point was successfully reaching and taking a break at the Gulf. The girls dangled their legs (no swimming allowed) in the Gulf then went back to “Lake Pontchartrain” for a good time splashing and “swimming”.

I killed my computer this weekend, seriously dead with no operating system, it really sucked. I lost about 4,000 photos, what was left of my sanity, and heaven knows what else. I’m back up and operational right now with at least the basic necessities and a few fun things.

I was kind of hoping that I would come out of this one relatively unscathed, but as always there is something that doesn’t quite work out and a large portion of my photos from the last year were the victims this time around. I’m glad there are some in my blog files, and some on webshots & photobucket.

I’m off to use the software I was so hot to install on Friday night, some how it doesn’t seem like as much fun, but I know I’ll love it once I get going.
