I need to focus on my blogging...

ok, so I suck at bloggin. shut it Jenn!! (I know you are a follower and will get updated because I am actually *gasp* bloggin! You moved, so you can't say anything! hhhmmmpphhh!! but you better come Dec 5th!) I really want to blog though. I think about it all the time, don't you know that? oh wait, I gotta blog for you to know that huh? darn it.

I especially need to keep up with it to show my photography to people that may not walk in my house and search my files for all my photos. Because that's where I keep them. It does so much good!!! But we are on a new venture to get my name out there and to get more practice for my photography. Kevin is pretty sure people would pay for me to shoot them, I disagree. I feel guilty if they ask how much and I actually give a price. Like I am Olan Mills or something! lol Then talk about huge guilt when they compare me to those places that have initials like PP and PI that can give you your photos in 15 minutes!! And they are way cheaper than mine! It's like Dodge vs Mercedes. I am neither, more along the lines of a 72 Pinto. But since my baby making days are over, I need to bring something to this household. Cleaning ain't happening. Hey, maybe I will make enough to hire someone?!! oh wow....the possibilities. What a dream come true! (hey the economy needs all the jobs they can get, right?!)

So anyway, right now I have one photo on my business card


But dang it's a cute photo!!! (this is my big Elliot)

So I promise to add my photos! Maybe i will be good enough to have a blog like PW (Pioneer Woman, aka Ree Drummond-yeah-AS IF!!!), but her photo layouts are the way to go! I love the amount of photos she has. I am having a hard time getting them in the right spot though. Any tips? I do my typing, add the photo, it pops up at the top, so I have to cut and paste it where I want it to go. Is that how it goes? oh well, till you tell me different, that's how it goes for me!!!

Do you have a fav blog? Like Rita's Coffeeshop (free photoshop stuff!!) or like Farrah's (I admit I stalk hers because her little C was born the day after my Elliot was born!) or how about Erin's
she is who I stalk on a daily basis really, I am just an internet stalker, nothing serious. Oh yeah and don't forget The Creative Junkie, seriously she is a RIOT!! So check out some of my favs and share yours! I really don't expect anything. I have one follower, and I think she and I follow close to the same people. But whatever.

oh yeah, and since I am really excited about me actually cooking things that require more than opening a box, I will share. They are usually pretty simple! I like things like that. If they require more than simple, well they usually don't happen. It's just how it is. No apologies. So last night I used PW's (see link 2 paragraphs above) cookbook. If you don't have it, get it! What else will she sign when you go meet her? what? you weren't going to meet her?! WHY???!!! I am-December 5th!!! Here in Houston! I can't wait. Maybe she will bring that delicious cowboy of hers....probably safer if she didn't. Texan women love some cowboys, especially real ones, not the fake ones we have here who work in downtown Houston, but claim cowboy on the weekend. Come here MM, I have some candy....wink, wink

ok, anyway...I made her Penne a la Betsy (which is her way of saying shrimp pasta) It was really good! Added a side of sauted asparagus tips (Sam's favorite) and it was a night! I doubled the recipe because, well let's face it, 3 guys eating at my table, one recipe isn't enough, so I always double. This makes A LOT doubled!!!

Ok, I think that was a pretty good post! Good timing, cause Elliot's hungry and I can't type with two hands and a baby on the boobie! (or should it be bubbie after the Jersey housewife?! hehehe)

BYE!!!
