when things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.

has it really been a week and a half since i blogged? that's crazy. where has the time gone?
what i do know is: standard life and photography business coupled with two workshops and weeks of computer problems = a hectic life.
my damn computer. in and out of the apple store for weeks. one week, i was at the apple store every single day. this last visit, my computer stayed at the apple store for a full week. got it back yesterday, only to discover continued, yet different, problems. my previous problem was that my computer would completely lock up, to the point that i would have to shut down with the power button b/c i couldn't do anything else. over time, it got worse and worse, locking up more often. now--when i wake up my computer from sleeping, it will shut down and restart (versus just waking up). apple just can't seem to figure out what's wrong with my computer. they seem to have done almost everything but i won't bore you with those details. today, knowing that i'm still having problems...well, it put me over the edge. not only tears but outright sobbing. maybe it was just time. maybe i needed it. i needed the release, i guess. i did feel better afterwards. i just want my computer to work. it doesn't make sense. it frustrates the hell out of me. i've been assigned the lead genius at my local apple store and he isn't back until sunday. so i have to wait until he returns to address this new problem. i'm trying my best to think positive computer thoughts through all this but...it's hard...really, really hard.
what else...
i'm hosting a matilda jane clothing show tomorrow. they have the most amazing clothes, both kids and adults. i knew i was going to be buying a bunch of kids clothes but, after seeing them, i've also fallen in love with their adult clothes. i'm soooo looking forward to hanging out with friends tomorrow.
i'm working on a new website and blog. it's coming along a bit slower than i anticipated due to the above. but i'm super excited about it.
oh man...it's late and i must get to bed. busy day tomorrow (well actually today). i'll close with a few fav photos from a recent maternity session that i second shot with a friend.



and here's to happy computer thoughts. better and better is right around the corner. i know it!

Oh man! So sorry your computer is still in troubles.. computer problems are the worst because we can't fix them ourselves! They should just give you a new one! Oh I wish I lived closer I'd love to go to a matilda jane show!!
Beautiful, beautiful photos.
Just keep repeating that above quote to yourself. I think it's true.
Hi Deb...
All I can say is THANK GOD your CAMERA isn't broken!!! I looove your photos and would miss them terribly. ;o)
If it makes you feel any better, I too had big issues with Apple and my iMac etc. Took awhile, but through blood sweat and tears... it all worked out in the end. I had to realize I was allowing a hunk of metal, gears, and components rule my life and darn near cause me an ulcer. While you're going through it, it feels TOO overwhelming, but honestly..... you WILL get it figured out and solved.
Best wishes to you Deb! Chat soon!
CIAO FOR NOW!
