Re: The Celebration Thread :D

I'm also cautiously celebrating. My Canadian hubby will be moving to the States permanently the first week of May instead of waiting until November. YAY

That is GREAT news Digi!

Most of you know I love photography...well today I get to assist a professional photographer at an orchard shoot! I'm really excited Very Happy

by **Kathryn Lacey** Thu Mar 14, 2013 7:58 pm

Muse, that's so fantastic! I'm really happy for you!

Gadreille, that's really exciting! What does one do to assist a professional photographer exactly?

by **Gadreille** Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:06 am

Mostly hold the flash/reflector, help distract little children, and watch watch watch!

I had an amazing experience and she wants me to continue assisting her...She wants to train me me assist at weddings, something I could actually make a few bucks on! I'm really excited for this "foot in the door".

She also offered to do free glamour shots of my friend and I...will be doing this on the 24th. I'm really excited, because at my friend's wedding, we didn't really get to sit down and have our hair/makeup done together. This is going to be tons of fun. I just have to figure out the dreaded question...

"What do I wear?"

by **Kathryn Lacey** Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:13 pm

That is so awesome! I bet it would have been a lot of fun. How cool would it be if she made you her apprentice rather than just assisting?

Making a bit more money isn't so bad, either. =D

Also, I'm really excited to see those pictures. Is there a theme of any kind for these glamor shots?

by **Gadreille** Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:41 pm

I'm definitely learning, and in a way I kind of feel like this is an internship of sorts...isn't that kind of like modern day apprenticing? Lol. I hope I can eventually work with a camera with her but I am quite happy to take baby steps. Even if all I do is get a little better at a hobby, it's well worth it, and a huge confidence boost to have a professional photographer want me around!

Brandy and I have not decided yet on a theme but...we are working on it. Smile

I'm excited to be on the other end of the camera...wondering how it is going to turn out!

by **Kathryn Lacey** Fri Mar 15, 2013 1:22 pm

Interning is, in my mind, a form of apprenticeship, so yay!

I think once you two decide on a theme (and holy crap, every time I see pictures of you two, you look like you could be related even though I know you're not), the choice of what to wear will be easier. =D

by **Digital Muse** Fri Mar 15, 2013 2:10 pm

What do you wear? Royal blue or brilliant red satin, crystals and if possible a faux fur stole. Of course!

by **Kathryn Lacey** Fri Mar 15, 2013 2:13 pm

Ooooh. Like Old Hollywood Glam. =D

If only I owned such lavish trappings!

by **Digital Muse** Fri Mar 15, 2013 2:49 pm

Too bad you aren't closer. I could open up my costume closet and sewing room horde and go to town. lols

by **Gadreille** Fri Mar 15, 2013 2:55 pm

That would be a dream come true, Digi Wink

I find it weird that I have no interest in putting this in the complaints section, but I can't help but feel overwhelming joy and relief.

Spoiler:

Long story short, a terrifying and new life experience really has me shaken up, I admit. But I'm overjoyed that I'm safe and that, for the most part, all seems like it'll be well.

by **Kathryn Lacey** Fri Mar 15, 2013 7:38 pm

I'm glad your mom was so relieved that you're alive and that you weren't punished for an accident that wasn't your fault.

That kid's insurance is going up, no doubt. Bad decisions in driving have consequences. Hopefully, he'll drive more carefully from now on.

Tomorrow is Saint Padraig's day.

Plastic Paddy Atheists? Does this mean people who are just in it for the booze?

Pretty much.

I got my acceptance letter today. It's just a community college, so it isn't a big deal, but I didn't even complete admission this year. I guess it just transferred over from last year which is nice. I just need to set aside and a couple of hours to complete the student orientation, and I'll be golden. Apparently, the Accuplacer Exam (reading comprehension, mathematical skills, etc.) is no longer required for registration, but it will be required for the classes themselves.

Furthermore, I found the perfect X-Pen for my new rabbit once I get one, and Jonathan and I kind of got dead set on Flemish Giants which kind of sucks because I don't know if any animal shelters will have them, but I will try my hardest to find one in a shelter. Jonathan is going to go to the doctor to make sure he's not extremely allergic to rabbits (I don't care if I am. I will suffer gladly for a rabbit.) because if he is, we won't be getting one. However, if it's only a mild allergy, we'll get one. Here's hoping.

I've also decided that if we get a rabbit, I may name it after a Targeryan dragon... Or I may name him Drogo... It's not all set in stone. It all depends on the rabbit's colouring and personality and such.

by **Gadreille** Wed Mar 20, 2013 10:49 am

Name it Vicerys...

Cause it's evil.

Wink

by **Kathryn Lacey** Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:18 am

You just want to give him a golden crown that will make men tremble to behold. ^;_;^

EDIT: Jonathan suggested I name him Varys, and he will be fixed, sooo... XD

by **Gadreille** Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:25 am

You can't name him Varys, then I will fear him showing up in my bedchamber at the hour of the wolf!

Hem, I should stay on topic... I celebrate getting closer to having a patio cover built and this breath of cool weather!

by **Kathryn Lacey** Mon Apr 01, 2013 7:37 pm

Yay for patio covers in hellishly hot climates! I'm sure your pets will be really pleased with the new development, too.

I celebrate the fact that my love went to the allergist, and it turns out the only thing to which he's allergic (he was tested for rabbits, cats, dogs, dust, mold, local flora, etc.) is dust mites. We're getting a rabbit, and if we decide to get a second pet, it will probably be a cat.

Gadreille, Varys isn't in my top list of names I've got so far. What I have so far as far as names I like for my rabbit are:

Drogo
Rhaegar
Toki
Tyrion
Zayek

I may come up with names I like better in the future, but this is what I've got for now. I'm so fucking excited. You guys have no idea how worried I was that Jonathan would be allergic to rabbits, and now we have the option for a future kitty, too! ^^_^^

by **Gadreille** Tue Apr 02, 2013 10:58 am

Yeah, patio cover is...less in development...haven't heard from the contractor in a week.

When do you get your little demon?

by **Kathryn Lacey** Tue Apr 02, 2013 12:32 pm

Well, I know for sure I cannot get the rabbit until after April 21st. While my Blockbuster location closes on the 20th, everyone has to be there for a full day (like... noon to midnight or some shit like that) to help finish the closing process. I won't have time for a rabbit until after I'm done with that place.

Unfortunately, I've been watching the humane societies like a hawk for weeks, but there are no Flemish Giants to be had there. I'll continue to watch them, for I haven't given up, but there's only one Flemish Giant breeder in all of Utah. It's very unlikely - as a result - that one will end up in the humane society. I feel conflicted, but that was the compromise. If we ended up with a specific breed we wanted, and it wasn't in the humane society by the time we could get a rabbit, we'd go through a breeder.

I'm going to call the breeder today with all of my questions to get a head start on it at least.

That's great! I'm glad editing is going well for you! I know how difficult it can be to consistently edit a novel.
