Good Morning!
Today I woke up to a loud thunderstorm. I got to go into work early, but I didn't get to sleep in that much. My poor Beagle was terrified from the storm, and the only way to calm her down was to put her under the covers with me. She was shaking like a leaf.
Right now, I'm planning a company picnic for work. It's the biggest event I have ever been in charge of. I am nervous about planning such a large scale production for so many people (almost 1,000) but it is exciting to think of the final product. We have finalized the food order and are about to lock in a great facility to run the event. I really do think I would make a great event planner one day.
Event planner, photographer, knitter. That's not too eclectic, is it? Maybe I'll just be a modern day Martha Stewart. Entertaining, gardening, cooking and baking... living a creative life.

New Post
It's May 2013.... I forgot about this blog. I was living life. Life's good. I have a new job now! (It's still in the same organization, but it's a new job in a new office) I also have a new dog, I got her at the animal shelter. I have to say, shelter dogs are the best pets there are. I have had the opportunity to see her change and become part of our family over the past 9 months.
In the time since I last posted... so much has happened. I am so much happier with my life, my family is happy, we are hard at work building our little life. I bought a spinning wheel and learned how to use it. Now it's one of my favorite hobbies. Yes, some may think it's rather grandma-ish, but I say it's a cool hobby, it makes me more unique than I already was, and it makes me a character. Like... "that's Joanna, the knitting, spinning, photography loving dog owner." Last week, I went rock climbing, and I thought it would be so cool to start it as a hobby, but "knitting, spinning, photography loving rock climber" is just getting a little too eclectic and ... weird.
But maybe I am weird. And that's cool.
I have started taking photography classes, and I'm about to invest in a new camera lens I've had my eyes on for a few months. I'm going to get it before I go on my vacation in a few months. Soon I'm going to get into Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to start perfecting my photographs. I'm really looking forward to it. Although I'm unsure about this whole Creative Cloud thing that Adobe is going to do. $50 per month is a real bargain for the entire Creative Suite, but am I going to be loving this hobby in a year? The $50 price is only good if you commit for a year. That's $600 total. Will I use $600 worth of the Creative Suite? That is the question. I would use Lightroom and Photoshop. I could use Muse and make a website. The website could have knitting stuff on it... or photography. I could use Illustrator... who knows.
Also, I'm scheduled for two photo shoots this summer, which is really exciting. I really enjoy modeling, even petite women make great models! And these upcoming shoots are themed, which makes them even more fun.
I think it would be interesting to write some posts about my hobbies... what I'm making, for whom I'm making it, my craft room set up, what I'm photographing.
Well, I'm off to live life again. Who knows when I'll be back? But I'm sure I'll have something exciting to tell you about my adventures.
