7 for Sunday

Sorry about the lack of blog post yesterday- I needed a day off.

1. I’m convinced I have an eating disorder. Reverse anorexia. I think I’m skinnier than I actually am. Discuss.

2. The 80’s party is coming along quite nicely and we have a bunch of people already signed up to come. I’d love to see everyone there, so please try to come if you can.

3. The world is a very small place. When I was trolling around anysoldier.com and reading some of the stuff the soldiers were asking for I came across one Marine’s page from the Phillipines (that’s where he’s stationed) thanking some of the people who sent his unit stuff. One of them was the oral surgeon who did my jaw surgery back in 1990. Who is now a lawyer. Out of the thousands of soldiers on that site, what are the odds of me finding my old oral surgeon. It’s a crazy small place.

4. That anysoldier.com site is addicting. But not really a bad place to be. So my packages for the troops got mailed out to Afghanistan on Friday and I am hoping that they make it there safe and that the Marines who receive it like everything we sent. The best part? The Marines I sent the packages to are Combat Camera!! It was meant to be that I found them and mailed the stuff to them. Photographic fate. I am really hoping that they write back to us and send some pictures. If they do and they say it’s okay, I’ll post them here. I did a little research on Combat Camera- they do carry weapons and work side by side with the other Marines on the front lines, but most of their shooting is done with the cameras, not the weapons. They said if you see them put down the camera and pick up the weapon, you know you’re in trouble. Wow, I thought it was hard photographing toddlers. I won’t complain anymore!!

5. It’s open school day this week at the middle school, where parents are supposed to walk around with their kids the whole day. Its times like these when I really need a clone.

6. It was Timmy’s Star of the Week week a few weeks ago (before christmas. And is that enough use of ‘week’ in one sentence, do you think?). Here’s some pictures from his day.

7. It’s now 3:43am on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Guess I should be getting to bed. Shooting a christening today and have 2 parties to edit besides that this weekend and Monday. Busy, busy. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Happy Sunday everyone and let’s go Jets!
