Summer is here and she's a hot one!
The weather is amazing, perfect beach weather. The last two weeks of July we are on vacation. Hoping to get in a little bit of beach time and get some reading done. Beaches and reading go hand in hand. Its also a time where I'll be moving house once again. We're downsizing to a two bedroom apartment, should be fun with three stepgirls on weekends! Its not far, we don't have to rent a truck, just three floors up. The view is much better, will be nice to see the storms come in from a distance rather than just over the roof tops. I love thunderstorms, watching it unfold and then all the lightening and thunder, nature is beautiful and exhilarating.
Nothing new in the waiting game. I'm still waiting on the government to get my education up and running. So far I'm in limbo and not liking it. I feel like I'm getting the run around and its truly frustrating. Here's hoping that by the end of the week it will all be sorted and I'll be on my way to school end of summer or this fall.
I've taken up an old hobby, one that my father wished I pursued as a teenager with more enthusiasm than I did. Now I'm ready to become a bit more of just a picture taker. I'm teaching myself the skills needed to become a professional photographer as well as taking a course through The New York Institute of Photography. I can't wait to get started. Before I finish the course I have a goal to get myself a new camera, Nikon D3100. I've used 35mm camera's before they became digital. I've kind of got used to the automatic settings on my little Sony Cybershot and now I want to play with the big guns again. The little handy Cybershot is no longer good enough for what I want to do. Its not a bad camera, decent for a person not knowledgeable in manual settings and just wants a camera handy for those impromptu shots. I'm excited about the Nikon and have already started reading up about the camera, things are coming back to me fairly easily and I can't wait to have it in my hands!
There is so much to do and that will happen in the near future, my summer is booked and will probably pass at a fast pace. Hoping that I'll be able to enjoy some of the long hot days of summer. On top of all that I have started to take care of number one better. I've found that my body isn't happy with the weight I've put on because of my foot condition and from not eating healthy. So, I've promised myself that I will try every day to put in an hour of a cardio activity with weight training. I'm just not happy with myself and know I can do it, I did it once before. Seems like I really don't have enough time in one day!
Well that's about it for today, hoping to have some good news in my next posting!
Cheers!!
