Hopefully this isn’t looking into the future.
We had a little fun with Aaron’s Photobooth application on his computer this afternoon.
Very entertaining.

Small sample of the wedding I covered today.
Today is gonna be busy around here - starting at 9 (I’m trying to get it to 9:30) I start taking photos of one of my mom’s friends son’s wedding. I’ll have a small hour break this morning and then I shoot clear til 8pm. I’ve had dreams these past few weeks about forgetting to wake up and go - and then getting called DURING when the ceremony is supposed to be and having some strange, angry family member ask me why am I not taking photos yet? In the dream - my answer? I was still sleeping. At 5 pm.
So I’m a little nervous - the mother of the groom is a worry hen - she emailed me numerous and I mean numerous times in the weeks leading up going as far as to ask me what if my camera breaks between now and the wedding, do I have a back up?
Really? Because that never crossed my mind - and if my camera breaks between now and the wedding - it’ll cost over a grand to replace and then well, no - there’s really no point for me to be taking any photos then, is there.
So I got to bed on time last night and woke up with a start at 7:40 because, WHAT IF I FORGOT?!?!?! And now I’m ready and waiting for it to be 9. Should be a fun day.
It’ll be nice because my mom is the Mistress of Ceremonies with her main squeeze, Roger - so I’ll have someone to help me chorale everyone and get things moving.
I don’t take photos of weddings - for my brother and a close friend, yes - and I have another friend that when she gets married if she wants me to take photos, even if I’m not the “photographer” I will - but other than that … I leave this kind of stuff to the professionals.
So no - I won’t travel to Indiana to take photos of your best friend’s boyrfriend’s mom’s best friend’s daughter’s wedding this fall. But The Walcott’s? They will. Give them a call!
Aaron comes home tonight! Jessica and I are counting the hours at this point, we’re both very excited about his return. Jessica is going to stay up and go with me to get Aaron from the train station which isn’t that late for her but she started telling me she wanted to go to bed at 6 already.
I’m sorry, but do you know my child? Asking to be put to bed? Really? Someone please check her forehead, and mine for that matter. We’ll see if she makes it. I think she’s got her second wind - we got her a T-ball set up and she hasn’t stopped playing with it since I brought it home, in her pretend high heels of course.
We don’t buy Jessica a lot of toys because most of the stuff she looks at and thinks she wants is only fun for a day and then we’re stuck with some primary colored Piece; but she’s getting to the age where she’s interested in playing games and really taking to all the “pretend play” there is out there.
So we’re looking at getting her a pretend kitchen … any ideas or pro’s/con’s?
Jessica and I did decide to come home yesterday and I think we’ve finally recovered from our sleep deprivation and the traffic on the way home. Now we’re just taking it easy until Aaron comes home on Wednesday. We’ll have to plan another trip to Chicago without a work agenda to get the most out of it with Jessica.
