Never goto sleep early…

… if your me that is

Well greetings from lovely 4am, been up since 2, but been working on some things, been a busy week, Saturday we got the kid (brother’s daughter) and she’s well, exhausting sometimes - but fun none the less, she has been hanging out with me and dad most of the day, then when mom gets done with work, she and grandma go crazy (shopping, movies, etc). So fun stuff.

Some not so fun stuff yesterday, don’t want to air too much dirty laundry as of yet, but let’s say it was a day where I had to put my foot down with someone, just tired of being nice, then having them push that nice to the next level and basically try to get me to do what I do to make a living for free, frustrating, and making it even worse, they huffed off after I did it like I was being mean by saying “No”. Sad stuff really, just find myself praying for this person, as I know they have had some rough times, but no excuse to exploit others - but its been said, done, and life goes on, finishing the last thing I agreed to do, and I am done for a while.

I am really excited about today, second shoot for Awaken! Dan is coming, possibly Courtney and Jake as well, plus Mrs.  Foster will be there to cheer me on LoL It’s fun stuff, even got a 2GB CF card ($36.50!) and it works good in the camera, so I am going to shoot ALL of tomorrow in RAW+SQ(1280×960-JPG) so I can do some more advanced editing with Lightroom (one of the few Mac/PC apps which understands E-500 RAW format) - so going to be nice to have some digital negatives this round, and do some more advanced clean-up of the colors/lighting/etc.

What else… Got a txt from Rosie around 3am wanting to go riding, and since I am still awake (which means I’ll probably need a nap before the shoot) I txt’d back okay - but that’s only 2 1/2 hours of sleep for her, have a funny feeling there will be a few “15 more minutes” calls but already have the backpack loaded, water in the feezer to chill a bit before leaving, and workout clothes set aside so as soon as I am out of the shower I can get dressed - but a ride strangely sounds nice right about now.

Anywhoo - more busy work this week, more to come next week, I have 30 cell phones at the office -  maybe I should sell em on the street corner but possibly another post in a day or so once things calm down, or who knows, maybe tomorrow after the shoot to show off my favs So with that, I’ll say Top of the Mornin’n to ya! and be on my way to the shower.
