Timing...

Happy Friday, friends.
How are you?
I am procrastinating this morning by editing photos, blogging and whatever else I can
think of besides heading to the DMV right now. Ughhhhh.
I hate going. And I am kinda nervous that I am going to have to take the written test.
Oh, and on a side-note, my license expired about five months ago.
No, I didn't say five days, I really did say five months ago. Yikes.


I should have went yesterday morning when I had actually gotten ready to go somewhere.
When you don't normally get yourself ready to go anywhere in the morning and
you do one random morning, the kids are very suspicious.
Where are you going, mommy?
Why are you putting on so much make-up?
Why are you curling your hair?
Dannnnng.
A girl can't even get herself ready?
I guess that shows you how often I take the time to get ready first thing in the morning, huh?
Kinda sad really.

After school dropping the kids off at school, running a couple errands and then preschool
pick-up I met up with a childhood friend here from California and took pictures of her three girls.
I felt like I was going to work, so I got ready. I kinda liked it.

But anyway.
The beginning of this year has me thinking a whole lot about what 2012
has in store for us and specifically on my mind lately is what this coming Fall
is going to look like for me.
Ummm...my baby will be in kindergarten. But I'm not even going to talk about that right now.
It's called denial, friends, and it totally works for me.
Unless the stork leaves a baby on my door step before then it looks like I will need to be working.
Working somewhere, doing something.
I am not freaking out about it, or worrying yet, there is plenty of time for that.
But here is what I am thinking;
This might just be the perfect time to try something on my own, something I really want to
do, to give something else a try.
The timing might be right.

I have tossed around the idea for quite some time now of actually taking pictures for
people, taking this whole photography thing one step further.
Like as a job, a side job.
I am thinking of starting this Spring and ease myself into it, see if anything happens, if
I like it, hate it, if I could even do it part-time....and then go from there.
That's what I am thinking right now.

Just a little peek from yesterday...
I had to throw in one of my sweet little assistant Charlotte who cooperated and stayed
out of my way  most of the time. She was rewarded with ice cream afterwards.

Even saying this out loud makes me kinda nervous about it.
I wonder if I really went for it if my love of photography would change...
would the fun be taken out of it for me? Would I end up hating it?
What if I am not good at it? What if  people weren't happy with their  pictures?
What if  no one wanted me to take pictures for them?
What if I am not organized enough for this?
The what-ifs and questions are there but I am actually not focusing on those as much
as I am the positive things and the possibilities.

I'm not sure what will happen, what I will decide to do or where this will all go if anywhere.
But this year is a time for change and I think I am ready for it.
The timing might be right and I think I just might be ready to take a big leap...or think about
taking a big leap anyway.
We'll see.

Hope everyone has a great day--now I need to get ready so Charlotte and I can go hang at
the DMV for a few hours. Don't be jealous.
