41

Hey Hey its my Birthday!!  I have to say 41 was sort of anticlimactic after 40 and all the fun that went along with it.  However, I spent last night with several dear friends enjoying another dear friend play at a local club.  I miss birthday cards (especially since I make a living selling them!!) and real phone calls but my Facebook page sure was lit up.  I don't know... the Facebook attention is nice but I still prefer a card.  What am I supposed to put in my hat boxes if everyone stops sending cards??

Here's me and the hubby at midnight - self portrait of course

Amateur

I did it.  I finally bought a DSLR.  Once again, I need to learn how to use the darn thing but for now I can play with it on Auto and take some pretty good shots.  Its the bottom of the line with only one lens but lenses will come with time.  This is good enough for me for now.   First shot out of the box - still standing in the
Target parking lot. 

New Year, New Plan

Happy 2012!!  Hope everyone had a great night and that this year is filled with lots of promise of love and laughter.   I thought I'd try adding some more pictures to this blog... it might help when I have writer's block.  Its easier to comment on a picture than write a post out of the blue - not that I plan to stop doing that.  But maybe I'll post more regularly this way.  I love pictures.  LOVE.  I want photography to be part of my career one day.  I need to learn all of the technical stuff but I think I have a pretty good eye in general and I'm a master at self portraits.
