It wasn&#8217;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&#8217;t get the quality or service that I have become accustomed to.  Yes, I know I just go to Penny&#8217;s, but usually I go at off times and get great service.<\/p>\n<p>So I did what any reasonable human being would do and went back a second time.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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 <s>bossy<\/s> direct and insisted on things being done a certain way.  <\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;m like a whole new person.<\/p>\n<p>Funny how the little things make such a difference.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if I could just lose about 100 pounds I might really be a happy person.<\/p>\n<p>Oh wait.<\/p>\n<p>I am not supposed to tie my happiness to my weight.<\/p>\n<p>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.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m finally going back to the gym, so if I can keep that up maybe I&#8217;ll start to feel lighter, at least in spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe I just need some liposuction.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s Santa Claus (ummmm. . yeah. . I might have told him that).<\/p>\n<p>Dang!  He just figured out it was the watch.  I was quite entertained by my kitten boy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did I mention how unhappy I was with our last portrait session?
