Before enjoying the music, turn off the music on my playlist in the sidebar to the right. I hope that this post does not show my age too much.

Laptop Problems

After McAfee updated the other day, Firefox 'crashed' and would not let me sign back on. So I tried IE. I would not let me sign on to the net either. :-( DH and I have both tried to figure it out. I am down stairs using DH's computer right now. (I prefer all my own settings...) I keep hearing noises upstairs. Not sure if it is big bird making them or if DD is making them. Neither one is answering me so.... I need to shut down and go upstairs and make sure my house is not torn apart.

Oh I miss using my lappy! It just goes where I go. BTW, everything else works on it. Even Outlook. Weird.

I Won!

I won again!!!

Christine from "Somewhere in Time" (Private Blog) just had a 100th post GiveAWay and she emailed me this morning that I Won!!! I don't believe it!

A couple of weeks ago, I won a Give-A-Way from Sally at Smiling Sally! She is a book reviewer and from time to time also has book Giveaways. It is a Christian Novel (I love reading these) and is a story about a reality show. I am hoping to get to read it soon. During Christmas break.

Thank you Sally! I can't wait to get started on this book.

I have several awards and a tag to post. Hopefully will get to that in the next day or so.

Have a blessed day!

Home Depot Give-A-Way!

Just in time for Christmas, Home Depot is having a great Give-A-Way! $100 gift card! What would you get with an HD $100 gift card? I know what I would get!

Now, you are probably wondering "How do I register for this Home Depot Gift Card?" Well I am going to tell you just that. Click on this link, Home Depot and follow the instructions.

I am sitting here surfing blogs and taking it easy. There is a sinus thing going around and I picked it up (DH came down with it a few days ago) and it is not bad, but I got the 'stickies' in my throat. I always know what that means. Now I have 3 shoots today. 2 parades and one family. The second parade DH was going to finish up for me and I was going to leave early and shoot the family. Thankfully, I did not schedule the Santa shoots today as well. I usually do them the first Sat in Dec too! I am so glad I did not make those arrangements.

I spent all afternoon at the doc yesterday and I have strep. DH and DD never get it. They stay away from me b/c they can pass it to someone else, but they never have had it in their lives. Not a good time to get sick, but you know what, God is in total control and I am not going to worry about it. I will simply try to reschedule my afternoon family shoot ( I am sure they do not want their 4 kids exposed to strep!) and spend the day taking it easy, cleaning, lysoling, cleaning, lysoling and doing a little decorating and lysoling.

This antibiotic is making me feel a little woozy, but winning that HD GiveAWay would make me get over it real quick!

Y'all have a Blessed Day!

The SEC Championship Game is about to start. I am about to make a pot of tea, make some soup or cheese and crackers and settle in.

Bathroom Diva

As some of y'all know, we spent the week before Thanksgiving at Walt Disney World. Oh what Fun!!!

We wanted to try out a place we have heard about called "Beaches and Cream". It is a great little Soda Shoppe type place located at WDW Yacht Club Resort near the pool. There DH and I split the best Cheeseburger I think I have ever had! And then I really wanted one of these....

It is called the "Kitchen Sink". When you have time, do a search on Youtube "Beaches and Cream/Kitchen Sink". You will see a demonstration of how it is made. I decided against it and got this instead...

Hot Fudge Sunday! My favorite!!! I love these things. I could live off of them.

Then I went to the 'Powder Room'. It was lovely and I had it all to myself... I had been wanting to join Sheila's Bathroom Diva Club and had been looking for a lovely bathroom at Disney to take a picture in, but they have all been full of people. How rude of them to keep coming in when I was hanging about so I could take a picture. Well this one was empty except for me and I could take all the pictures I wanted so here we go!

Isn't this a lovely bathroom? I had to hold my stomach in after that Cheeseburger and Hot Fudge Sundae! They sure were good though. Just glad I did not get the Kitchen Sink! LOL!

I have got to get back to photo loading (I have dumped hundreds of photos onto my external harddrive already), photo editing and making Hayward, The Magic Elf's, bed.

Y'all have a Blessed Day!

Busy Busy!!!

Sorry I have not posted in a few days. It has been busy here at the Wertz house. I have photo work to get out. While we were at WDW, a dance school I shoot every year was performing. DH and I photographed their performance. They did a great job. Those photos had to be edited and loaded onto a private album for them.

I was not thinking about how busy I usually am the weekend before Thanksgiving and after with my photography business.... And I had to go to WDW one of those weekends!!!! Oh well! I have 2 parades to shoot this Saturday (thank God I am not doing Santa this year, I just forgot all about that....) and I am getting calls to shoot family portraits this Saturday as well.

In addition to taking down fall decorations, desiring to decorate for Christmas, clean, organize, shop, cook and feed the family, hand tint photographs for customers ( I still hand tint black and white photographs the old fashion way), clean bird cages, feed birds.... I am getting exausted typing this! LOL!

I did get some of my D56 Dickins Village out of the attic and put it onto the top of the kitchen cabinets before we left for WDW and last Friday, I washed our Christmas china and displayed it in our hutch. I always do that first thing.

Oh, and DD and I are making a beautiful bed for Hayward (the Magic Elf) to sleep in. He has not shown up yet. He usually does not show up until we put up the tree and decorate it. It will be nice for him to have a lovely bed to sleep in. We are photographing it as we go along. It is turning out very lovely! Will post when we are through!
