It’s Friday! It’s Friday! It’s Friday! That means another installment ….

Caffeine is my boyfriend! Shhh don’t tell my hubby, although I am pretty sure he has noticed the love affair we have been having for the last four years. I get my caffeine fix with regular old coffee or Mt Dew most days. but then there are those days when I get to have Starbucks! It’s like the clouds have parted and the sun is shining just for me. There is a happy tune playing in my head and life is grand! In the words of  Charlie Sheen it is EPIC! I know I may need to seek help for this silly lil problem of mine, but I am not to Sheen’s level of whacked out just yet. Although today I think I may have surpassed my caffeine limit with the iced camel macchaiato the hubster brought home yesterday. See I do know my limit I suck that bad boy in the fridge (and had sweet coffee dreams all night) till today.

So I was inspired a lot this week. I really don’t even know where to begin but I really want to give this photography my all.  Let me rephrase that a bit. See up until now I was doing just that, giving my all.  But what was this photography giving me back??? The answer is hard to define, I have gotten back a lot. I found my passion, I’ve met amazing people, I have beautiful images of my own children, I get to make others happy with my work, I have literally started looking at the world differently (emotionally and physically). But I want more.  What more is there? I want photography to be a part of me, not just what I do. I want my readers to know me and know what makes me tick.  I want to share more and hope that I get more back…..Maybe I am crazy, but maybe, just maybe it will all work out .  So the first step in my give more to get more is a weekly instalments of Friday favorites.  Every friday I will blog a bit about my favorite things I hope you will love them as much as I do and you’ll get to know me a little better in the process.

And the first official Friday favorite things is my new computer!!! I spent the last year and a half struggling to keep up with my work load.  Every night I would sit watching that little time capsule thingy spin around and around while I waited for my poor laptop to catch up. It took me awhile to get the courage for this purchase…it wasn’t just the money that scared me, although I officially have overhead now ekkk.  A big purchase to me means I now HAVE to make this work as my job.  I have put in the blood sweat and tears but a new computer just made it all real to me. I think it makes it more real to my hubby and father too. Anyhow back to my favorite thing …can I just say that getting a mac was the best decision ever.  It still doesn’t do the work for me but it sure makes the work easier and a lot faster!!!  I big puffy heart this thing  and did I tell ya I can watch Dexter while I work. Love it!!! And yes those are my lil’ tootsies in desperate need of a pedi.
