We finally got the disc from our photoshoot

1. Our photoshoot

I wasn't upset about waiting a month because at least she told me it would be that long when we had the shoot.

Unlike the other lady from last year who is just TERRIBLE at estimating time. Said one thing and delivered weeks later... all the time. Moving on...

I'm not WILD about them but it's because Jeanette spoiled me with lovely, natural, crisp, clear images for a few years. I'm not a fan of that soft focus look that is so popular.

That, and the fact I am so fat it's actually crazy. And of course Connor was acting up and doing the three-year-old face, which works well for self-portraits with me but not for stuff you're paying for!

Anyway, I told myself if there are a few I can use I'll be happy.

And there are definitely a few I can use.

We have 1 we can use for our digital Christmas greetings (!), and another 4 - 5 that are "wall print-worthy" so I'm happy.

Here are two pics - as I sort through more, I'll post a few more.

 

one of three pics of Connor genuinely laughing!

2.  My iphone

I am missing it dreadfully - I haven't taken one pic with the stupid Nokia in the 8 days I've been using it. Totally pointless to expend the effort for BLUR.

However, Mandy told me that it was delivered! So I should be getting it in about 1 - 2 weeks time, and I must say I can't wait.

I even had a dream about S (work friend and ex-boss) coming in straight from the airport to bring it to me at my desk. I know, pathetic!

3. Black and white challenge

oh my, I'm LOVING all the pics you're posting. I may not post many here on the blog but I LOVE black and white pics - always have. So classic and timeless :)

And this set just made my evening.

Click over and enjoy!

Today I tidied my bedroom so thoroughly Nester won't know what hit her when she sees it on Tuesday. I also sorted through more of the kids' clothes. It's a permanent item on my to-do list because they grow so quickly. I bought Connor two pairs of sandals about a month ago and he needs a new pair again!

But now, I really want to get those October pics done!

This week it's going to be blazing hot (29, 30, 31) and will then cool down to what is acceptable summer weather to me (remember I grew up on the coast which is a lovely temperate climate) of 25 degrees. But I said when we were in the throes of the cold weather that I wouldn't complain about summer this year and so far, I've been good :)

I'm looking forward to hitting that to-do list hard this week,  two defining work things happening... and finishing my ebook. Actually, if the ebook happens I'll be over the moon. Oh, and payday (iphone money) plus a lunch with a very special person on Friday! Yay :)

What are you looking forward to this week?
