Afternoon Nap- Cat style

Last night an amazing thing happened.  I actually got tired and went to bed around 11:30 instead of working all night long like some kind of stressed out night owl hyped up on adrenaline.  So then I woke up at 7:30 this morning when my husband got up.  Since we were BOTH up for once bright and early we went to grab a cup of coffee and chat before we started the day.  It was really nice...and I thought, hey, maybe this could become a new habit for me!  Going to bed early, getting up early.  Well, by noon I was fading fast.  I just kept trying to work through it so I could go to bed early again tonight, but I was sooooo tired.  Then I had the brilliant idea that if I laid down on the floor of my office I would only sleep for a little bit because I'd be so uncomfortable, right? 

Yeah, not so much.  THREE HOURS  later I woke up on the floor with a really sore hip.  The cat of course was draped across the top of my head, thrilled I'd finally come down to his level.  I guess that's further proof that I could sleep just about anywhere.  I can add it to the growing list - along with the sidewalk (in 50 degree weather wearing an ugly polyester dress, don't ask), the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the shower (yes, with the water running),  the car (while driving), and just about every class I ever took in High School (although I still managed to pull off a 3.8 gpa somehow!!!!).  I would even sleep through the bell ringing and wake up in an empty classroom.  If any of my High School teachers are out there reading this, would you please leave a comment in the comments box to back me up on this one???

I heart the 80's

Oh to wake up on a saturday morning and wolf down my TRIX cereal while watching The Smurfs and then put on my jelly shoes to go play outside.  Maybe go for a ride on good old plastic Wonder Horse or wander aimlessly through the neighborhood on my hot pink banana seat bike, no doubt purchased from a garage sale.

As you can see, Wonder Horse is still alive and well.  And since 40 is the new 30, he's got nothing to worry about.  Although- he may still be upset with me about when I was 3 years old and I used to lay under him and pretend to milk him like a dairy cow.

Red heads rule the world.

I'm sure of it. 

Okay,  I've been tagged on a couple of people's blogs and have not been prompt in telling 8 things about myself that you do not know.  So I am going to make restitution. 

1.  I take 2 showers a day.  Sometimes 3 in the winter because I'm freezing and can't get warm.

2.  I can turn my left leg all the way around so my foot is twisted completely backwards and then I can walk that way.

3.   I used to bite my toenails.  I promise I don't do that anymore.  O my gosh.  I can't believe I used to do that.

4.    I have a crush on Starbuck from the new Battlestar Galactica.

5.  I have a history of chronic nightmares and extremely spiritual dreams at night.

6.   I played the french horn for 8 years.  Now its hard to imagine me sitting there tooting away.

7.  I believe in UFO's and aliens.  I'm worried that I just said that on the internet because maybe now they are going to come find me and do experiements on me.  That really happens to people.

8.   Throughout my early adolescent years I would put on different melancholy records or cds and weep to the sad music while thinking of the saddest things that I could.  David is heavily amused by this and consistently  requests to know which particular songs I wept to.

I know I'm supposed to tag 8 people now, but I've noticed that all of my friends have been tagged in the last couple of weeks and I don't want to be like 'the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends.'  So we will call it a night and I really should get started on my editing seeing as its 1am already! 

I wear my sunglasses at night

I know I have to write something here and not just show pictures or *Anya* will make fun of me when she comes to help me do my packaging.  =)   She said, "Amy I can always tell when you are swamped because you just say something lame  like 'I'm lovin pink' and then show pictures."  She totally caught me on that one.  So I'll try to not be such a dork even if I am busy.  The last thing I want to be is a nerdy blogger.  David would probably pay me actual dollars if I would post more often.  He's one of the faithful who checks everyday.  If you would like to blog stalk david please click here.  Thanks for all the great comments and emails everybody on my last post!  It's so exciting getting such great feedback.  I know I still owe you an update on my DC travels. All in good time my friends.  All in good time.

I liked this purty girl Caroline.  She was reserved.  And very soulful.

And TA DA!  The slideshow.

I'm loving Pink

Recent senior session...

Still Alive {Part 2}

Okay, back from Florida now (more on that at a later date).  I'm off to Washington DC in the morning.  =)  This time David is coming with me so I'm really happy about that.  I have several sessions while I'm there over the weekend.  If you need to get in touch with me by phone or email I will returning all calls and emails on Tuesday when I get back.  I'm the queen of late night packing and last minute everything- so right on par I've been trying to get everything ready to go tonight and I am sooo tired.  We had my life long friend's engagement party tonight and it was so fun.  Congratulations you guys!  You make the perfect couple in my book.
