Nicole Carina’s Neighborhood

So much to do today and I have spent the morning editing photos and putting them on flickr. AND printing some off for class tonight. I want to get that done first so I don't feel rushed later. Now I need to:
1. change loads of laundry
2. start new load of dishes
3.catch up on vox
4. clean bathroom and litterboxes
5. get pictures printed for the book with lucy
6. eat lunch
7. take a shower
8. work out
9. get all photography stuff in bag for class
10. make dinner
11. go to class

I have 5 hours to do it all.

Blech-
1. I have SO many chores I have neglected, but now I have less time lines to meet so maybe I can stay on track
2. my heel hurts still from bashing it on a rock while trying to be youthful last week
3. on the news this morning they showed these two men who stole stuff from the back of a store, they stole pillows and a hammock. The police caught them, sleeping on the evidence. They took pictures of these two men sleeping on them and showed them on TV, laughing at them. I was kind of stunned, here are two men who are down on their luck , in this economy we are all suffering a bit, and they stole things we all take for granted, comfort. I am going to write to the news channels and scold them for making jokes of other peoples misfortune. If the economy gets any worse I may have to go back to work. When I first quit we had a slush fund of about $200 after every check for movies, dinner out etc. Now that is gone. we are again trying to shave off unneccesary items. Now imagine if you were already barely making rent, not making enough to eat, with the gas, groceries, utilities all jumping up in prces, there are now lots more people losing their homes, losing their comfort items. And so we splash them on the news for our amusement. That is not okay. I am glad I do not have to be in the position to have to steal a pillow to sleep on the ground.

Yay!_
1. the wedding is OVER!
2. I do not have to look at those strappy sparkly high heel shoes in fear any longer
3. I have lost a few pounds and I am now down to 137, yay!
4. I have pajamas picturing sock monkeys frolicking in the clouds on right now
5. I am officially out of debt, thank you stimulus package and tax refund
6. I am still very in love with my husband after 11 years of marriage
7. I feel as though I can breathe deeply today, I think I caught up on some sleep
8. some of teen nieces friends want me to take photos of them, maybe I can make a little cash doing this!
9. My sweet lil kittehs are so soft and adorable lately, I do not have a new photo of the bones or bunners, so it is just Helios the Tyrant and Luna the brave
10. I have SO much, I feel like I am overflowing with blessings

*clean off dining room table

It was pretty hot and humid that night.
But I enjoyed it very much. And most of my friends (and a lot of other people I don't know) were able to show up.


Then on Sunday was that free Santogold show in Central Park.
Ben J. and I went together, but we left before Santogold performed because we were getting pretty tired. (There were a lot of opening DJ's and acts. AND it was SOOO effing hot outside. The sun really tires me out after awhile.)



I got some fun goodies this weekend, including a troll doll (he has green hair and wears a shirt that reads "I Love You!") and a switchblade comb.



Here are some other photos I took this weekend:

Here is a shot of me with my dress that just did not fit quite right, but nobody pays attention to me, so it was all good. ;-)
The Bride, she looked Gorgeous! She cried almost all day long, she has dreamed of this day for so long, she was smart. She waited for the right one instead of forcing one that did not quite fit.
Shoes who tried to kill me, I swear. They were fine, then the balls of my feet started to hurt. No tripping thankfully!
They also started to cut off circulation to my toes. My poor legs are still sore from walking around in these!
A few fun shots of all of us hanging out before the wedding. Relaxing, eating, and Father in law playing piano Beautifully.
Cake and the first dance
The Bouquet Toss and the Garder Toss
The bouquet landed in the young ladies hands in the jeans, but SIL was a bully and grabbed it out of her hands, Petals were flying, Haha!  There were tons of women fighting for the bouquet, but there were a small handfull of dudes that acted like it were poison! Ha
So there you have it, An overview of what I saw. Not great pictures, not even good ones. But they will help my BIL and SIL remember the night they got married. ;-)

So I saw the trailer for a new movie called "Hamlet 2" This morning I am getting ready for a long day of craziness with the wedding and all. This movie trailer made me laugh SO hard! I showed husband and he was quite amused. But we have done ourselves a disservice, you see we are about to spend the day in a CHURCH. We are going to have our heads bowed in prayer with this song going through our heads. I hope it enriches our day. Yours too.
