feeling: tired and antsy.
doing: this..... jeff just left again so i'm alone for the remainder of the day
listening to: KGGO, it actually stayed in today! we always loose it about 11 for some reason.
this weekend is our first big weekend! we are painting all day tomorrow. painting and cleaning. then Sunday afternoon we are moving the camera room! and i mean EVERYTHING is going! i'm not settling for less than that! becuase if it doesn't get moved, its just more to move later.... and that doesn't make me happy.
jeff's been a mess., as we all knew he would be. he's trying to do too many things at once and worrying about too many things at once. i keep telling him we'll be fine-becaues we will!-but he's yet to actually listen to me! he's worried that painting wont get done tomorrow.... everything basically has a first coat on it so we just need to second coat most of the walls and we're golden! the hard part will be cleaning... because after buliding walls that place is a royal mess!!
once we have all that done its basically the home stretch! after the camera rooms in and set he can start shooting over there officially. next is computers. after that work room.. and after that.... well, the rest of the crap thats gathered in this dang place! i'd like to just trash everything and start over.... but i'm not thinking that would be a great idea. HOPEFULLY (jeff--if you read this...) we will be able to de-clutter a LOT as we clean and pack.
i know some of you are laughing at the image of me actually throwing things away! it's hard, but i have gotten myself to do it more often!
i'm ready to have this place packed and gone! i'm ready for all the new things the studio will bring AND all the newness period! we're making changes and hopefully everything will be for the best!!
our next and biggest opstical is going to be furnishing the dang place. if you thought jeff and i picking out paint colors gave you a headache, just wait until we have to pick out furniture.... (a headache is swelling for me already!)
my life is this new studio... so i can't even remember anything else that's happened this month. i'm sure matt will be super happy when this is all over. he hardly sees me, unless i'm passed out on the couch. and i see ethan long enough to get him up and then to put him to bed!
well, i have to move my garbage pile and pack another tote. hopefully i can find some more things to pack up before 5!
have a good one!!

"we don't have TIME for this!"
doing: catching up on My Boys episodes that i misses because we don't get TBS anymore.... :(
feeling: iffy. my tummy huwrts! its a stress hurt, but i'm not entirely sure why i have that.... an idea, but not totally sure.
if you haven't seen our(me and Jeffs and DI's) facebook pages-- WE ARE MOVING!!!
we finally found a perfect place, for a semi-perfect price, and an almost perfect location! all in all its the BEST thing we've ever done!!!
if you know Pella at all you might remember Water Lily Formals, the bridal shop that used to be in the Molengracht, thats our new spot! its right on the corner closest to the hotel. big north facing windows and lots and lots of space!! we've gone over a couple times and laid out our floor plan, jotted down some ideas and pretty much just gone in to stand there and smile!! we have a couple wonderful ladies coming on Friday to walk through with us and basically tell us how to decorate (colors, furniture, layout) because between Jeff and i we can't decide on anything..... [if i haven't said it before, Jeff and i are like a married couple when it comes to decision making. we can't agree!]
the biggest downer to this location is that we can literally stand in our doorway and look into Digital Galleria's store. bad because people already get us confused... so now it'll make it harder on them because we're in the same building! but we're totally seperate types of photography... so we figure we'll be okay! plus OUR customers will know where to go! and they will KNOW if they are in the wrong spot!
the only other bad thing is that we are going to be OUT of this spot by/before June 1. so that gives us - now - less than a month to get all our shit together, packed, moved and un-packed. its going to be hard... no secret, but i think we can do it. now you all may be laughing inside if you know us at all. we are the definition of un-organized artists! so this will be a challenge for us.. but we're up to the task! (that was lame i know...)
other than studio news not much else is new. Ethan is still growing and learning more every day. big machinery, firetrucks and race cars make his life complete! he can hear the train coming through town before its even close! and he can watch a backhoe tractor work for a day without blinking an eye! he's ALL boy! he's also discovered that his backhoes and dumptrucks work GREAT in the dirt in the front yard.... awesome for Mommy's OCD! so bathtime is like every night now!!
we're loving the warm weather! as i'm sure everyone is! grilling and just being outside is fantastic! and the sun is up later and its warm! its warm! its warm!!
now, in adroation of the warm weather i have one errand that i searched out that i can walk to do!! woot woot!!
have a good one!
