checkin' in with my bad self

I am one of those people who spends so much of the day thinking and dreaming and I get distracted quite easily . . . I'm not one to get up from my computer, pour Stella a glass of milk, and quickly return to my work. I get up from my computer, pour Stella a glass of milk, realize the dishwasher should probably be emptied because I'm having company over for dinner, and while I'm at it, think it's time to start another load of laundry, sweep the floors, and check on my hair. While I'm doing this, I'm daydreaming about what to blog next, whether to redo my website, the quickest way to design albums without a much-needed assistant, and my next photo shoot. I am quite ADD, diagnosed by yours truly.

I am, however, a fierce list-maker, and I checked in with my 101 in 1001 list the other day to see how far I've come, and I immediately was overwhelmed with the joy of setting goals, and making them happen, and being able to blog it all :).

#52. Break into the boudoir market. I'm not quite sure I've established myself as Montana's most sought-after boudoir photographer, but these sessions are booking so well for me! You can see a recent session here, and I will be developing a separate boudoir website in the next week or two to be able to reach more beautiful ladies!

#62. Do another photo shoot of the girls. I did a cute little shoot with them for Valentine's Day and failed to post it . . . it is coming up next!

#74. Successfully use my electric wine opener 3 times consecutively. Oh, yeah, baby! I think I have this bad boy mastered. It was a Christmas present, and in the time I've had it, I've learned 1) althought it says it works on synthetic corks, it really kind of does not work on synthetic corks; 2) it does not work on the Gallo-Sonoma Pinot Noir. I have no idea what is up with that cork; and 3) you need to press the "charge" button to get the charge started. I'm kind of a toss-it-in-and-walk-away kind of girl, so this takes time, thought and effort, but it's well worth it.

#83. Give Stella her first haircut. Done! Not a picture to prove it, but done!

#100. Brush my teeth. I officially do this every day, I promise.

#101. Go to bed. I also do this every night. :)

I do have an exciting one coming up . . . next month is my destination wedding in Jamaica! And THREE of my best girlfriends are accompanying me!

Happy Thursday!
