Okay, Friday nite, and a great time for family fun. Frozen pizzas are all the rage in our household, accompanied by a dose of wii. I am busy while I am playing however, zipping in to the print room to put portraits on the fire, so to speak. I am trying to get ahead of all the Senior Orders, and so far I am staying afloat. Tomorrow we have two shoots, a Senior and an Engagement. I imagine I will be printing and shooting at the same time. More snow will be falling on Sunday as well, so it sounds like a great day to work on work. We have a glass kiln we need to fire up--we are going to work on glass with photographs embedded inside, and I am really excited to give it a shot, but a little intimidated by the kiln itself. Hot!!!. And I have to work on advertising, as well as 2008-09 brochures for Seniors. So much for the downtime. Plus--I have personal projects I am working on. Plus, children--they are all doing so well! They all have snotty noses--me too--but wow, terrific grades. But hey, you can never have too much face time with the kids. And then there is that nagging ingrown toenail. Wow, a lot of pain for just one bit of swollen redness around the nail, but so far, self-care is working really well. But for the remainder of tonite, I must clean the Studio up--when we aren't shooting for a couple days, it tends to collect things--all sorts of things, like laundry, toys, paperwork. I suppose this is exactly what having a business in your home is like, but it feels sort of like we are trying to have a home inside our business. So much for the romantic life of a photographer, huh. Lots of laundry, messes, food to cook, cats to look after, and once in a while, I get to pick up the camera. What a deal. Oh well, tomorrow I shoot.
