Call me old, call me crazy, but these days when I say I'm taking a vacation day...well, that usually means I'm taking the day off to catch up on things. There really is no "vacation" happening. egh!! I don't guess I've really taken a true vacation in probably 7 years or so. The last "out of town" trip I've been on before taking my daughter to a water/amusement park this past weekend, was back in July. My boyfriend and I did a little 3 day get away to Hot Springs. We just took it easy and enjoyed our time together. It was nice, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't sitting on the beach with the ocean waves touching your feet, sun shining on your face and a nice adult beverage in your hand at all times. It seems as though everyone in the free world went to the beach this summer EXCEPT ME!!
Anyways, before I get off on a tangent (oh how I'd like to do that), today is my Friday. A very short (but long) work week. It always seems as though things fall apart at work when you try to take time off. Why is that? I think the sales reps catch wind of me wanting to take a day off here or there and decide to bombard me w/ one request after another. And when they don't get their way, they get their shorts in a twist.
So, tomorrow I've decided to make it about ME! After I drop my daughter off at school (she will be with her dad the whole weekend), I think I will go for my run (want to try to get in 8 miles). Then me and my camera will become acquanited again. I miss my camera after about a week of it being put up. You know how most people feel naked w/out their cell phones and feel like the world is coming to an end....well, I'm the same way about my cell phone, but also about my camera. I feel like sometimes when I put the lens up to my eye, the world speaks to me in a different way than it does w/out my camera. Photography is one of my passions. My first passion is my daughter, of course. I'm no professional at it, but I'm aiming towards that goal. I've had many a compliments on several of my shots and I'm proud of the work I do. Once I get it set in my head that I'm going to take my camera out, I get antsy! I want to do it right then and there...no more wasiting time. Only thing is....the folks at work probably wouldn't appreciate it very much if I just up and did that. HA!!
So, if I can get my brain to function long enough to get me through the rest of this day, then tomorrow is mine! I might even treat myself to a new pair of shoes or boots....like I really need them, right??? Maybe just a photo of them anyways.
