Ramblings

Okay, I admit, I'm in that "stage of life" where my kids get sick all-the-time. And somehow I often get it too (I thought I'd be immune; after all, I was a kid once too. Plus, I haven't really been very sick since I was twelve). But, no. And this time it's all me. I can't even thank my darling kids for my Tonsillitis and head cold. But I am finding blame, of course. ;)
I'm blaming it on:
the little sleep I had for several days,
and being in Vegas with so many people,
and the chilly air on the shoots I took part in,
and sleeping in the same bed as someone that *might* have been a strep vector (you know who you are;) ).

However I got it, it's taken up a majority of my energy this week.

Unfortunately I have so much on my docket. But, I've been *trying* to plow through and get things done anyway, and I'm happy to say I've made progress.

Do you ever feel that way? These kids still need me to take care of them. There's still business that needs to be done. The house is calling my name (far too loudly).

Well, today I turned off the phone and put my head down and (finally) got my taxes done. SCORE! And while I did so, I listened to some fabulous music by Diane Birch who is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Seriously, go check her out. She has this amazing voice, these fingers that move so smoothly on the piano (I'm jealous), and this soul that reminds me so much of the music my parents listened to when I was a child. It's a treat.

Meanwhile, if you've tried to get a hold of me this week, I'll be returning calls as soon as my voice returns to normal, and when I won't be sniffing and coughing in your ear! I'm crossing my fingers for tomorrow.

On today's playlist

I'm cleaning the house this morning and this is on my playlist. Enjoy!

(Random fact: I've always to learn how to play the cello.)

Almost Ready

The water balloon pics are nearly ready, but to keep you groovin' in the meantime, here's a fun little ditty.

While I edit pictures...

While I'm editing today, listening to this...
(and this particular video is so pretty to watch)

Inspiration

One of the talents I've always wished I'd have was the ability to create beautiful music. Music has played a significant role in my emotional makeup since, well, since I can remember really. I may not have the talent for creating it, but I think my talent exists in really appreciating it. Today I opened my email and my dear friend had sent me a link to this because she understands how much I love music, and knew I'd appreciate it like her. I hope you'll appreciate it too:



AND, since we were rained out for the spring mini sessions, I need to reschedule. I have some spots available, so if you are still interested, go to my website and email me through the contact page!

Tomorrow I'll be announcing the winner of my contest.
To tide you over, I've got a little music video. Here's to a mellow Monday.
