AND THEN I THREW UP

this is what shannon at GBO would call a WOOF. I airbrushed my entire face. 

I am not sure how many of you have followed along with my business ventures these past few months. In case you didn't know I launched my very own photography business, have shot families, seniors, children, newborns and weddings.  And I am loving it---  but I am also having to find a balance to keep up with my work.  You see, when I am not shooting, I am editing.  And when I am not editing I am marketing.  It is tough to get your name out there and gain people's respect, etc, etc, etc. Let's just say it is MORE than a full time job. At least right now it is. But I digress....

Two days ago I was editing a wedding I shot in California (the image above is from that wedding.... yes, my second shooter and I were messing around during some down time)-- anyways, I was editing this wedding which I took WAY too many pictures at [rookie photographer mistake.... to panic and take a million of the same shot over and over and over again].  So finally, I was down to the last big chunk of photos and was almost ready to post my sneak peek on facebook and then?

and then I threw up.

And continued to throw up....

About every 45 minutes from yesterday morning to yesterday afternoon I lost my cookies.  I couldn't move, or get out of bed.  I had to cancel a senior session and a newborn session this morning (If I got a newborn baby sick I would die!). I was totally taken out of the game. It. Was. AWFUL.

It seems like something is always happening like that....  I can be on a roll and getting things done and then my lupus flares up, or I get an unexplained bout of the nastiest flu I have ever had.  I wish I could tell you the details, but then you would probably be so grossed out you would never come visit me here again and I would lose all my internet friends and fall into a deep, dark depression and well....  okay, probably not but I will still keep all the gross highlights to myself.

One good thing about being sick?  My little Bella.  She stayed cuddled to my side for the entire day yesterday. I literally slept 10 of the 12 hours in the day, and she stayed right with me.  And then when I went to bed at 8:30, she followed me in like a little trooper and slept until morning.  She is so sweet, and whoever thinks having a pet is too much work clearly doesn't have a little best friend like I do.  Seriously, she is so precious and I am so glad I have her.

Speaking of Bella, she has been complaining that she hasn't had much time on the blog lately so she will have a post all her own coming soon.  It may include her in her outfit choices for Halloween :)

I hope everyone had a much better Tuesday than I did.  Today I WILL be putting up that wedding sneak peek on my facebook page so stay tuned!

update: the sneak peek album is up!  Check out the photos here!
