Let’s chat shall we?

I can’t believe Christmas is like 70-something days away. It’s my absolute favorite time of year.  In my family I’m known as the Christmas CRAZY person.  Yep…I’ll take that honor and own it honey!

I like to jingle jangle in every way possible. Connor and I even listen to Christmas music every morning before school.  George Michael’s (WHAM) “Last Christmas” is always a favorite.  I think I know every word of that song.

Life right now is consumed with work, home crap (laundry, dishes, poor meal planning, and cleaning), and photo shoots on the weekends. I LOVE taking photos and it makes my world to take photos of all these precious families.  The fun part comes when I get home and go through them all and edit.  I love to turn them into something magical.  It’s taken YEARS and tons of $$$ but I just love this photography thing.  I’ve always been a creative gal.  In college I was working towards a degree in graphic design.  I’m glad I still have my creative outlet through blogging and photography.  That’s probably why my blog design changes so much….I just can’t stop “playing” with it.

So before Christmas hits us square in the eye I’m trying to savor the beginnings of fall and I’m currently bathing in Purell.  All that’s on the news here in DFW is E-B-O-L-A.  Errrr single day.  Yes, it scares me, but I’m not going to sit around and think about it until I worry myself to death.  But why in the WORLD would you freaking get on an airplane and fly across the country after you were just exposed to Ebola!!!  Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

I just want to slap someone!

It brings out the worst in OCD people like myself. FYI- At our local Target this week if you get a flu shot you also get a free tall Starbucks drink.  Just so ya know 😉

So what’s on the top of your Christmas wish list? I feel like everyone is a fashion blogger these days and has such great style.  I’m lucky if I get my eyeliner on straight.  I’m not clicking on that link because note to self: I can’t afford a $3000 purse even if you do get a 10% commission!  They do have a lot of pretty pictures though (well, you know if you are a size 2-4).  I see a lot of pretty outfit photos that catch my eye, but when I actually click on the link I nearly stroke out at the amount of money these people spend on CLOTHING.  For real???  Someone needs to do a blog series called “The Look for Less”.  I used to love that show when it was on Style Network.  Now that’s an idea!

All I want this year is a new desk chair and maybe a new camera lens or camera equipment. You know the stuff I used to think old people asked for?  Like maybe some socks and new bras?

And if anyone works at Starbucks or knows if the Christmas bevies are coming out early would you holler at me? In the mean time I’ll be dousing myself in Purell and living the dream…live each day, love each day, you never know if you’ll have another day….and if you do it won’t be like today!

Thank you for reading my rambling…
