To Albuquerque we will go …

Well, another long day that ends with a long night. Lots of phone calls but I couldn’t see Ayiana. She has some problems again today. I am doing all I can reasonably to have her out of that RTC ASAP!

On the bright side, whenever I come up here I get to go to Whole Foods. I finally found the purse I’ve wanted for ages. It wasn’t expensive, it’s just right in size and I love the design. What more can I ask for. I also found lots of good food! I had a gourmet meal consisting of a basil, tomato, and tofu salad for a beginning course, followed by a humongo piece of artichoke, black olive, and spinach pizza (to die for!) and as a final course, a large square of Tiramisu, of which there is half in the fridge for tomorrow.

Our meeting is not until 1:00 so I will have plenty of time for iced coffee and tiramisu perhaps? LOL, no I got my favorite bagel which I was there also.

I’m getting tired and I’d like to finish a few more layouts while I am awake. Thanks for reading my no news post.

 

An Odd Name but Cool Effect

This photo of my 10yo dd was put through a filter called “lomography”. (Dumpr) At first I wasn’t sure I liked it, but I saw the potential after staring at it for a while. That’s my philosophy, btw, if you don’t get it, stare at it a while. And here is the original photo for comparison.
I love finding tools like this available freely on the internet. They do have service with an annual fee with some other options, but the free ones are good for now. I want to try out all of them first. Here is another take on the same photo.
They are loading out of order but you get the idea. This is the Rubik’s cube option. So easy and a lot of fun. I can imagine all kind of possibilities…

 

And back to Truth or Consequences … the game show blah blah

After three more visits before leaving the hotel room this morning, Ayiana and I had a very good Family Session then had a couple hour pass for fun. Time has never flown that fast.[img]http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/highfive.gif[/img] We ended up eating our Subway’s in the lobby before I left. When I got home I realized I had several of the items she had wanted, including her origami paper. Nothing like anticipation to make something more exquisite once received! What a sweety she is.

Time for Mom to head to the bedroom. I am very tired but want to get things done. Oh well, the vote definitely goes to tired tonight. [img]http://img52.exs.cx/img52/8605/h9yboredom.gif[/img]

Tomorrow will bring excitement, I’m sure …

 

I Believe!

I got a call in the middle of the day Wednesday. It was Ayiana telling me she was getting a 12 hour pass on Easter Sunday to come home for part of the day. I was elated and worried all at once. No time to prepare. Driving 6 or 8 hours in one day??? No can do. Who can help? Ayiana home! Even for a visit! No time to prepare. So today when I called tx she said we need more time to prepare. Aha! Yes, I agreed. Maybe 2 weeks ahead, yes. And Easter egg hunt may disrupt pass time, I think on Saturday, but who knows til Saturday. It’s the nature of the business. I know. It’s my business, too. Ayiana is doing very well. She has no problem with redirection. New female for her to make friends. No phone calls, her choice. It will work itself out. I Believe. I Believe.

 

Home again, home again, jiggety jog …

I am in such a state I don’t know a word for it. I know I am physically and mentally exhausted. The drive home wasn’t as bad as usual. Ayiana and I had a wonderful time together on Saturday. She even made oatmeal and toast for dinner for us, and it was very good! She is such a darling. She fell asleep today while we were meeting. lol with her coat over her face. Got a new picture too. I’ll get it posted soon. Soon as I find my camera.

I’m trying to catch up on emails. I’m about 3 days behind so I’m not sure I’ll make it completely today. I am excited to announce that I have been invited to, and accepted joining Nicecrane ~ a Designer on Digitalscrapbookpages.com ~ his Creative Team.
