Happy!
Did I mention how unhappy I was with our last portrait session? It wasn’t that I was unhappy, so much as I was disappointed. We went on a no school day, which was a huge mistake. Everything was rushed and we didn’t get the quality or service that I have become accustomed to. Yes, I know I just go to Penny’s, but usually I go at off times and get great service.
So I did what any reasonable human being would do and went back a second time.
Mike thought I was crazy, but I had a vision. A vision! I was determined I would get something similar to what my vision was showing me.
I made an appointment online and received a confirmation e-mail, but when I showed up they had no record of my appointment. I was about to hyperventilate, but then the girl said she could take me anyway.
We were the only people there. She worked with us for 40 minutes and I am so, so very happy. The above picture is a fulfillment of my vision. I was bossy direct and insisted on things being done a certain way.
I also got some of my moles removed today! Happy, happy! I am now missing two big moles off the back of my neck and a giant, nasty mole off the front of my face. I’m like a whole new person.
Funny how the little things make such a difference.
Now, if I could just lose about 100 pounds I might really be a happy person.
Oh wait.
I am not supposed to tie my happiness to my weight.
I try. Really I try. I have given up on losing weight, but some days I feel so heavy. Heavy in terms of pounds. Heavy in terms of spirit. Just. . . heavy.
I’m finally going back to the gym, so if I can keep that up maybe I’ll start to feel lighter, at least in spirit.
Or maybe I just need some liposuction.
But now I have to go back to being happy. My mom is using the sun and her watch to make a light spot on the wall and Erik is chasing it like a kitten. He thinks it’s Santa Claus (ummmm. . yeah. . I might have told him that).
Dang! He just figured out it was the watch. I was quite entertained by my kitten boy.
