Coon's Age

Hola, peeps. It certainly has been a while, but I have been hella busy. The photog biz is mad, and Phoenix is...just...well, Phoenix.

Duane and I hit up the Salsa Challenge in Tempe Townlake this afternoon after I shot some senior portraits in Mesa. IT.WAS.AWESOME. But then again, I definitely have an "O" face for salsa. The margs were free flowing, and the event was starring my favorite condiment of all time.

I shot my first wedding on Friday, and it went swimmingly. The couple was so down to earth and casual that it made my job an absolute joy.

We also just got back from seeing "Reign Over Me," which was a great flick. HOWEVER, some old bitch sitting one seat over from us made AUDIBLE comments the entire time, like, "Say it!" OR "Oh, that's HORRIBLE!" I honestly had to hold back a bucket of "SHHH!!!!" Then she started violently crying at the end of the movie. It honestly ruined the experience.

Anyway, if you get a chance to see the flick...go see it. It makes you want to wander the streets of New York City and remodel your kitchen.

That BITCH

So my Bluetooth headset was recovered, thanks to my ever so cleverly designed signs I posted in the hallways. Never underestimate the power of clever signage...or the maintenance lady stealing your headset. EVS. I have it back, and I am going to dump a stream of alcohol on my ear gel for about 3 hours. YES.

So I've lost 17 pounds since the 3rd of January. Something to celebrate, I suppose. I'm not feeling/looking too different...but that won't come so soon.

I have very little patience these days...

"Valentine's Day is over-rated," so says my fiance. Wow. They really do give up on you once the ring is on the finger. But I guess I can't complain...we're going to a nice dinner...one that I have nothing to wear to. So we lead back to the weight loss issue. I absolutely refuse to buy any new clothing at this state. I'll have to find a brand new dress on the side of the street or dig something out of the depths that might work. MY LIFE IS ROMANCE.

I canceled my credit card with Capital One today...GOOD RIDDANCE. They are the McDonalds of the credit card world and not worth your time.

I need to do something with my hair...it is BORING. It seems odd that hair that takes quite a while to "do" essentially has a drabbish final effect. I'm longing for change, people. As soon as May-June rolls around, I may do something quite rash to my look...and the mere thought of that sends me.

Ah well.

I think I'm going to book a massage for myself this weekend. I need some hot stone therapy FO SHO.

Lazy Sunday

Not so lazy in fact. How about some news, then?

-I strained a tendon in my left foot because I FELL in the parking lot at work. No cardio for basically 2 weeks. SUCK! However, I am now back on track, so good news there. Duane and I have been working out at least 6 days a week, somedays doing a 4:30am and then a 7:00pm in the evening. In other news, my personal trainer is totally flaking out on me. I had my first session on the 3rd, and then had to cancel my second due to the ankle, but she hasn't returned my calls to reschedule.

-Have you heard of Amy Winehouse? You will LOVE her. Check out "I'm No Good" and "Rehab." You can find her on Myspace.

-I bought a fisheye camera, and I LOVE it.

-Work is slowing...they have been laying off quite a few people. I know I am not in danger of losing my job, but its been a bit more difficult trying to stay busy.

-It has been raining since Friday--just a gloomy, cold weekend.
