Fashion show

Our niece was Master of Ceremonies at her college fashion show. This was the best pic of the evening, I felt! Look at the lighting! The contrasts are SO smooth! Such a nice composition! Has NOTHING to do w/the subjects! (LOL)

My daugher's new pet

On Thursday, I worked from 10 am to 5:30pm and had an hour drive home. My MIL picked up Abby from the sitter's. She had her 'pet' with her, lol. So I gave in and Googled snails and we have a new pet. Coconut likes bananas! Isn't that funny? I need to get turnips and see if she goes for those. We call her 'she' but snails are he/she's, lol. I should have been working on trannys today but ended up taking… Continue

A wedding I photographed last Saturday

This was my favorite of the day! They finished the reception at 3:30 so the three of us went to our local Pier and took a few between the sprinkles that were falling. I was very excited at what I was able to do with this, as it was dark/rainy. You would never know, lol. I love digital!

My first video conferenced Parole Board.....

Had my first ones yesterday. BOY! LONG DAY! LOL! Started at 8:30 am and

I got done at 7pm.

Did 57 inmates. I will say, glad I have the amp thing as I used my extension wire and

placed it right in front of the TV where the video comes from. All they use

are the speakers from the TV for the inmates. After I did that, I could

hear them MUCH better. The room seems similar to ceilings that

can suck up the sound.

I will say, I looked at the inmates a LOT… Continue

Loving my bag!

I am really likeing this bag. Carried it today and didn't roll it to Parole Boards. Used my lunch pocket as I went from 830 .m. to 4:00 p.m.! Worked out great! And then had to run to my car to call my Mother-In-Law to not have her pick up my daughter and would have missed her if I had my cart; et cetera, LOL. I didn't have my butt pad as I knew the seats were comfy and wore my shoes since the snow is melting right now so it was not heavy. But it is working out very nice. Rho

Picture of my bag...

This has SO much room! Even more than I could get it to look in the pics, lol. My machine area has a TON more room in it than it looks. Nothing is touching my keys either.

loosing count of my Revolution days....

I am just LOVING it though!!! I can carry it without that rolly cart! :) It is quick to set up now. I am still getting used to the tablet/pen, but still don't want my laptop back, lol. I can relable things/etc when I get home. Not much time to edit when there are only bathroom breaks, lol. my new bag should be here tomorrow, but I have to be at Grand Juriy torso won't see it until I get home. Sigh. I can't wait to see it!

But the machine is running smoothly. I don't seem to have any… Continue

Found a negative with my Gemini.....

The bag is too small, lol. Once I put in my extension cords, plugs, ampliphier, Depobook, etc, my zipper can pop...sigh. they offer a larger bag for us over-packers/over-planners, lol, I just did not 'get' it.... I need space for my butt cushion! I hate showing up and not having a soft chair. So may do some searching for a new bag.

Otherwise, another work day which went great with my Revolution.

Any others with a Latte coffee addiction?

I only had my first Starbucks in NYC for the NCRA convention. Loved it; Vanilla Latte.

But could not spend the $$ for one, lol. Recently tho, I had a Creme Brulee Latte at a small,

local coffee shop and LOVE it! I am trying to keep it to once a week...figure is equal to a pack of

cigarettes a week? LOL! I also bought their Creme Brulee coffee and make it at home in my

latte maker DH got for me for my Birthday. Helps curb my craving, but not AS good as theirs!l

And I… Continue
