Some People Do, Some People Don't

Well, I let the good times roll this spring break. It has been a great one, but come monday I am back in a world filled with deadlines to be met and projects to be completed. While most people will be talking about how they barely remember spring break I will be looking forward to some new paintings and also a camping trip next weekend in North Carolina. All I can say is that I am stoked. Also, it is pretty much official that I will be in Ireland come July 14th. I am looking very forward to that trip. My new camera equipment is taking longer than I expected to get so business for me in the photo world is on hold for the time being. My pup Olivia is getting a new name. After a week's long run with a 4 syllable name, Olivia is now officially named Layla. Layla isn't coming with me to Nashville tomorrow, but hopefully soon she will be able to live with me. For the time being, mom and my brother said they would take care of her. Speaking of which, I miss having a front porch in Nashville. Mom and I sat outside for about an hour on the front porch and watched the sun go down over Birmingham. It is little things that matter to me. On a different note, I seem to be on the front lines of a battle against my arch nemesis poison ivy... We have tangoed many a time but I am sure hoping this will be the last dance for a while. What a terrible plant poison ivy is. Tonight I went bowling with an old friend. It was a good time just being able to talk and carry on like we use to. We were surrounded by a bunch of high schoolers who just got out of their prom. Seriously a swarm of them took over the bowling alley. Talk about one of the first times I have felt old in a big crowd... I am excited to get back to Nashville. I have some reading I am needing to get done and also a painting I need to start. Also Shannon Leigh will be arriving from her spring break in South Carolina. It's going to be great seeing her smile in person again. iChat just can't do it justice. Best wishes to all that read this. Life is good. We have it easy compared to half the world. Just remember that in times of trouble.

P.S.- Guess who rolled a strike...=)
