I've been absent from the internet posting world yet again. This time for a really good reason. THe reason being that I've finally started moving forward full speed with my photog business. I have a new blog for it here--->Laura Keeton Photography Yup! Check it out!
Also I'm back in school and that is taking some serious hours out of my day and serious energy out of my body. By the end of the days I really just wanna curl up and snooooooze!
On an awesome note, I just printed my first two prints in digi-photography tonight. It feels great seeing my prints huge again. Too long, man, too long!
I hope you all are doing well.
I am now off to do some of the curling and snoozing I mentioned before! tata, loves!

yeeeouch!!
I burned my finger in a hot spoon earlier today and just a bit ago while trying to write I realised that my cursive looks like that of a 5 year old tyrannosaurus-Rex. Yeah, it hurts and is going to cause problems during my work day tomorrow. *RARRRRR*
directional push
I'm going to be going back to school in a couple of weeks. I'm finally going to move forward with my Photography degree. I have spent countless years complaining about how long it would take all the while not taking ANY classes to get there. Had I been taking just two classes a term I would have been done a long time ago.
So, yes, it is time to get off my duff and get back in the game. I will be taking Digital photography and a sadly needed math course this term as well as a weekend course that is a Field Workshop on the Monterey Peninsula. Basically one long weekend filled with photographers and picture-taking (and the BEACH).
I have been shopping around online for studio lighting. Something simple to start off with. Maybe a couple umbrellas/stands and some strobes. I want to be able to do some higher quality portraits.
Here's a bit of something to look at:

Love to you! Hopefully soon I'll be able to move over to my proper photography blog and get everything going in the right direction.

The final decison:
So, I wound up with a lovely Black Saturn ION instead of the other cars I mentioned.
Here name is Chloe and she has already made her first roadtrip to Portland, Oregon.

I couldn't wait to get her out on the road. I have been itching for some nice quiet "ME" time for a while now and what better way to get that than to drive for 10 hours (each way. uphill, in the snow :] lol)
Here are a few photos of the highlights:

Time waster in recover
I am a waster of time to an epic degree but I'm getting better. I've actually not been online much the past few weeks so that has been a heeyoog help. What have I been doing instead, you ask? Well, let's see: -Taking oodles of photos that I have yet to have the time to edit. -Prepping myself mentally and physically for The Master Cleanse.
-Prepping myself for big changes at work.
-Watching the entire 1st Season of "The Big Bang Theory"
-Enjoying my life.
Yup, times are good and getting better. I've learned how to bring my own fun wherever I go instead of hoping someone/thing else does. I've learned that it's not necessarily about finding what you are "good" at but it is definitely about finding what you are "happy" at.

Carpe Diem
I'm finding big pleasures in the tiniest of things lately. Maybe it's because I've stopped forcing action to please others. I've got to do what is right for ME!
It's a great time to be me. I love my job, I'm making new friends that really share interests with me, I'm making plans and I'm currently shopping for a new(er)car.
Yup! I'm looking to buy a VW Beetle! I'm so psyched! I want it to be black and have less than 70,000 miles on it. So yeah, not NEW exactly but a quality pre-owned vehicle. Seriously, this is huge for me. The newest car I've owned was a 1997 Ford Escort with 126,000 miles on it. I'm just shopping around for the primo deal.
Also, I'm getting prepped for my next tattoo. It's going to be the words "Carpe Diem" on my shoulders. In the front. My boss has a tattoo guy that he is going to talk to about cutting me a deal. It's going to be simple. Just black lettering, not too large. I'm in the process of drawing up the perfect lettering. I can't wait.
and just so this isn't totally a word-filled post, here are some lovelies to peer at:
Here are some recent faves from Flickr. I could not make it through a day w/out flickr.

1. Asparagus Beef Roll-Ups, 2. Carpe diem, 3. One night at Carpe Diem, 4. Robert S. Leonard, 5. quote/poetry/art book, 6. Andy Samberg, 7. Custom Made LadyBird print - Wizard of Oz theme, 8. под небом....., 9. bedroom, 10. blackboard wall., 11. dog curtains., 12. simple & colorful.
