i’ve been toying around with ordering a blurb album for a while now and i finally got on the stick and ordered one today. i have taken a mix of red brick photos and combined them with lyrics of some of my favorite love songs… and voila! if you want to check a preview of the book out, you can go to:
it should be here in a couple of weeks. if i like the quality and all, i’m hoping to do one for jeromy’s and my wedding. it’d be cool to combine it with some of the lyrics from songs we played during our wedding/reception and all.
today jeromy and i took it easy. well… kinda. i’ve been working on photo edits and red brick stuff all day. i’m trying to take things to the next level… improve my services and branding. i’m going to have a friend work with me to develop a good logo so i can do a better job of making a consistent image. my welcome packets are going to get an upgrade as well. crazy fun.
it was nice to just bum around and stay in. i’ve been exhausted by interactions lately. over the last two months, there have been several events in which i’ve had to just “get over it.” it has ranged from things outside my control that were clearly wrong and crossed the line to more minor issues that i’ve tried to clear up before they got worse. i’m starting to feel that i must be an ineffective communicator. there have been a couple of conversations lately in which i have been unable to clearly convey my feelings and where they were coming from. in any case, there have been misinterpretations and i’m left with not much of an option but to just move on once the situation nullifies itself. and it’s fine… but it has left me feeling a bit anti social. nothing seems simple anymore.
i’m a big believer in “say what you mean and do what you say.” when the two start to conflict, i become confused at what someone’s intentions might be. there are some actions that i have seen this year that have clearly shown me the character of those behind them. and i have let things stew and the resulting frustration took a toll on me. so when other experiences have come up, i had decided that it was best to nip things in the bud and be completely up front and honest so that i’m not holding in negativity and can give someone an opportunity to show me how i might be misinterpreting a situation. it has become very apparent that i suck at this. as someone who grew up hating any type of conflict, i haven’t had much practice expressing my views when it comes to situations that arise that may cause for hurt feelings. it leaves me wondering if the old, silent way was better – by the time i come up with the right words to say, it’s always too late and it feels like i’m beating a dead horse.
my little brother starts cosmetology school next week. i’m keeping my fingers crossed that he finds something he truly loves doing – whether it’s skin, hair, etc. he needs confidence and some sort of sign that life really can rock. he’s a special guy with a heart as big as can be. i hope that this opportunity will give him a chance to shine.
jeromy’s making a rocket. yes… think lots of pipe, a two-liter bottle, and an air pump. i’m anticipating that he’ll need to go to the emergency room tomorrow. i’ve already had to get on to him for shooting it in the house. silly boys…
