he he. Yeah that was fun to shoot. We actually played the scrabble board backwards in the shoot. We set it up. Bob actually took the time to lay everything out with all the words I could come up with that were farm related (the boy is extremely process oriented from being a mechanic) and then I had to remove the words in the right order. A couple times I had to put stuff back because I realized I took the word(s) out in the wrong order.

Not much to talk about the past couple days. I've been extremely tired. Last night I went to bed at 6ish and slept pretty much straight through the night. I have the feeling tonight is going to be early as well. At least I accomplished my goal of being off the computer last night.

Honestly, I want to see if it's affecting my sleep and because of the fact when I drink coffee I like Cream and sugar in mine (empty calories right there). Although I did give in and have a cup this morning.
Another good night of sleep under my belt. I feel much better than I have the past two days. I think I'm going to work on getting some quality sleep for the next few weeks - goal is 7-9 hours a night. I'm thinking that it will really help me feel better overall.

Sleep is key! Also...with the coffee...I used to cheat and use the sweetened creamers...they were YUM and less calories than adding my own. Also...the powdered dreamers are pretty good..but then you have to add sugar anyway...tried stevia...but it tasted weirdo in my coffee.
The first two pictures i have picked out for my Etsy Shop (Which I Still need a name for)

My Initals are PAP... I don't think so and PP wouldn't be much better.

I'm just breezing through while grading papers and eating lunch (in other words: I'm not supposed to be on here and I'm really goofing off a bit too much) but you just made me giggle and snort turkey & swiss up my nose.
Those have been standing jokes with me for a Very verry long time.
Well between checking people on my mailing lists, I'm adding more potential pictures to my list of favorites. I think this weekend is going to be spent dinking around and printing out test version of the pictures cuz some of them are going to have to have color corrections done to them.
With everything being in sets, I'm just going through each set and adding the pictures I really like to the favorites. Once I get that done, I'll look at what others have marked as favorites on my sets and go from there.

Paula I Looooooooove your choices so far... It's so hard to name your shop...or your business for that matter. I had a friend who loved carnivel carousels growing up so she ended up naming her business Carousel Designs. I guess you could pull from anything...it's just a matter of finding the thing that represents you...and sounds cool...
ummmm...and yeah...sorry about your initials...hehehehe Anywhooooo I am really looking forward to the launch!!! Good luck printing this weekend. Also...about the color balance, I think most people include some kind of disclaimer, like due to the difference in color from your monitor to mine, color on the final print may vary...something like that!
My suggestion would be that whatever you choose....make sure it's a legally available business name in the event you wish to advertise, use the name in print, website, etc. You don't want to be sued! Took me a long time to find my name and then do a search with the state and then get it all registered. But, it pays to do it right the first time.
Finally got my mailing list at work updated. What a pain in the rear end.
Kristen: Thanks for that advice.
Jane: I know all about that from working in the web world. You would be amazed at how many people don't do much research before they pick a name.

OMG. I would DIE without my caffeine/coffee. It is the one vice I'm not giving up until they pry it from my cold, dead, sleepless hands.
Unfortunately for me, I think I'm going to have to go to the world of decaff if I want coffee. I couldn't get to sleep last night and it was a short night all the way around.
This sucks.... I like my coffee

I'm a bachelor girl tonight. Time to get crazy with the print and check out what everything looks like. Bob is going to walk in here tomorrow and it's going to look like I wallpapered the living room with pictures *Mwahahahahahaha*

The Fancy Dancer picture you really like is DSC_1559 and it's in the November 9th, 2008 folder.
Canon Paper works best with the canon printer (that's kind of a DUH I know).
The Canon Pro Platinum Paper and the Canon Photo paper Pro are no cheaper on Amazon than they are at Frys. Save yourself some time and just go get it at Frys next week to get test packages.
Also look at the Ilford Pearl paper for inkjets.

He he got distracted this afternoon and never got a chance to upload. That and flickr uploadr was being a pain in the rear end.
New stuff - I was down at Kemah this morning bright and early. Unfortunately it's overcast here in Houston so no sunrise pictures, but I got some truly awesome shots all the way around.

Have you ridden The Bullet yet? We took the kids last month -- it is surprisingly intense!
No I haven't ridden the Bullet yet. The last coasters I rode were the ones at Astro World. I road their big wooden coaster and the Batman one. Their wooden coaster scared the crap out of me and the Batman one I really liked although it felt wierd essentially hanging below the track.

I hate you (or at least the fact that you can "just go to Fry's") grr
That looks like a totally cool carousel.
I like Fry's but the noise level there can get really annoying. I used to work at this Fry's a few years back. The cool thing about this store is that it has a 7/8 sized model of the international space station on the ceiling. Many people at NASA have said it's the first time they've seen all the pieces together and what the end result is going to look like.
It's a double decker carousel and after taking pictures of it, I think it would be fun to find other carousels around here and take pictures of them.

Little things I'm working on that I think will make a big difference in the long run:
1) Incorporating more whole grains, fruits and veggies into my diet. - I'm aiming for at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies, and 2-3 servings of whole grains into my daily diet. I'd say I hit about 60% success rate for this overall this week but I'm dong way better than I have been in the recent past.
2) Getting at least 7 hours of sleep. According to my math skills, I hit about 45% on this one.
3) Take pictures daily - Started this on Friday. Need to take some pictures this evening for ebay auctions so while it's not "artistic" it counts.
4) Read my Bible daily - roughly 30% - I'm feeling the need to feed my spirit and this along with daily prayer is a habit I would like to get back into.
5) Working on things I've been putting off. I tackled two such projects this weekend
First Project was shredding papers and ripping up newspapers. this one actually serves a triple purpose. It helps clean the house, it helps me clear up some of the clutter I have going on, and I use the shredded stuff as mulch on my garden.
Second project was working on getting stuff ready to sell on ebay. I used to do Mary Kay and I have a ton of product that I need to get rid of. I spent an hour getting pictures of some of the stuff I have and identifying stuff that I still need to take pictures of. I've had the box sitting on my table for over a year. It's time to stop wasting the energy on feeling guilty about it and get it done. I also have the Pampered Chef Stuff I'm selling that I need to take pictures of. The money from this will be split between my emergency fund and funding some of the projects I want to accomplish in the next year.
