Blessings, then Ramblings...then more Blessings!

Well, I'm sorry, there are a couple of you still waiting for your sneak peek! I will hopefully have that up by tomorrow evening as we are still getting things switched over/loading new programs on the new computer. (YAY! Fancy upgrading is always fun - though puts a small halt on the behind-the-scenes work!)

Tonight while moving all my "bookmarked" readings over to the new computer so that I won't be lost without catching up on the lives of strangers, I realized just HOW MANY blogs I do read!.... and DAILY at that! I thought it might be fun to share them with you so you can also jump on the train of the obsessive ways of your photographer by perusing the images/thoughts/funny stories of others out there with the same passion as myself. Or you may just glance at it once and forget you ever saw anything...good for you! I, however, am not that strong...just ask my worn out husband who is forced to DRAG me away each night when sleep calls.
(And yes, I said strangers. Most of these people don't live in this state, or even this country, but yet at the end of the night, I feel as if I could say "good night" to them after reading their blog because it's like they're your friend. Well, that might just have been way too much (pathetic) info., BUT IT'S TRUE, I SAY!) Like a soap opera, only better because it's real people, and something you're interested in! (if you like photography that is...)

If you've ever Googled "nationally acclaimed children's photographer" this woman is number one....well, maybe not really, but she should be!

This give-it-to-ya-straight country woman is so much fun! For her, photography is a hobby, but her tales of life on a cattle ranch just leave a tickle in your side all day!

This young woman is in Lubbock and has such a great eye! She's only 22 or 23? But major talent!

And timidly, I must admit that is not ALL of them on my "bookmark" list by a long shot... but I don't want to reveal how crazy I am to you just yet. What is it about blogs, (ironic thoughts going through my head now as I type on MY blog), that are sooo addicting?!?!?!
Who cares? I LOVE THEM!

On a completely different note, I had a little party to myself tonight when I made our last payment on the new windows we got for our house a year ago!!! How satisfying is that feeling...paying a purchase off?!?!?!


Go us! It's like a goal accomplished, but even better because you have a physical reminder of that accomplished goal each time you walk by!
Our lovely 60-yr.-old home felt such a welcome relief on energy usage this summer compared to last year's utility bills!

Okay, party's over, time for bed...

I promise, (hopefully), a real sneak peek tomorrow if all goes well with installing my new toy!
