Sit and Spin

To start, my left ear has been plugged for the past month, making me feel dizzy and not in the greatest mood.  Anyone know of a remedy? Probs a specialist would help :/


Lately I've been avoiding the fact that I have a college degree and have yet to find a related job for it. With photography jobs being mostly elsewhere, I'm literally stuck with whatever I can find here. I hate that. I hate constantly being unsettled, moving from one seasonal job to the next.  It's embarrassing and degrading.  Since college has ended, I haven't been keeping up with photography as much as I should be.  I remember my last day of college, my professor's advice was to never lose what you have; dont lose that drive.  She was almost begging it to me.  I'm sure everyone has been told that with any field, but it's really stuck to me, and when it rings back in my head, I want to kick myself.


What I want to do with photography simply isn't here.  Sure I can freelance here and there, but that is all Erie can offer to me.  I'd like to be a photo editor.  I love working on the computer, and I'd say I'm pretty damn good at editing/retouching.  Maybe for a magazine or even a newspaper, or website.  Owning the pictures would be even better.  But right now it seems like a distant dream of mine, as I sit here stuffing my face with popcorn and playing Farmville. Yes,

Farmville.


All I can do is hope.

   And get a freaking car.

Tids and Bits

If you don't know already, I'm engaged! I'm very excited to plan my REAL wedding (no more "dream" wedding board on Pinterest). But, this means lotsss of money will need to be saved, and with where we're both at financially, it's going to be a long time until we say "I do".  SO,  while I sit here and wait for that dream job to come along, here are some ideas that I have been thinking about here and there.
For colors I'm thinking dark/navy blue, and bright/lime green.  Spring Wedding!

I'd like to have a elegant/lace themed wedding. I love the detail.

I'm diggin these flowers.

...and that cake.

I like sparkles, and I think this would look pretty in the background of pictures.


I really like these story telling decorations.


Possible table decorations, there will totes be lace.

Lace wedding dress for sure.  And that hairstyle.


Gotta have an ice cream bar! And chocolate. And cupcakes...and cookies.  
I'm already getting a sweet tooth.












Free Time

Things to do when I have time:

      Probably wont happen until I have my own place, right now I already have a full length mirror at home.

        I love lace, which means this is totes happening. But again, I have no furniture to do this to yet.
