One day soon I will find a rhythm for this blog again other than sporadic, sputtering, posts.
Bullet update!!
- Still have a lot of photos from Pennhurst to edit and upload.
- Went to the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island on Saturday and have a ton of photos to edit and upload from that trip.
- Kiddo started camp yesterday and came home with a huge smile on her face...it went well. She's at a horseback riding camp and loving it.
- I go back to some babysitting this week after a few weeks off.
- I'm recharging myself to submit my work again and get a portfolio site set up and a portfolio book to bring around to local cafes and galleries to see if I can get a show.
- This Saturday is the opening gala of the Harrisburg Art of the State show and I'm looking forward to it!
- It has been 10 weeks since I quit smoking and I am definitely "over the hump". I still miss it and wish I could smoke, but I don't mind not.
- I'm not losing any weight yet, but I am doing my pilates (most) every morning and walking a lot or doing some other form of exercise each day and I'm eating a LOT less. I've been frustrated about not seeing any changes yet but realize I need to have patience...but that is why I've not posted any new "getting fit" photos.
- I am feeling a need to push myself further with my photography, to try things new and perhaps outside my comfort zone. We'll see if this goes anywhere. :-)
Nice pics Sarah! If you liked Coney Island, check out Asbury Park, New Jersey sometime. A good portion of the town is falling down and mostly abandoned. I hear they are fixing things up there and I've haven't been there in a few years but it's very, very eeirie. The boardwalk makes you feel kinda sad since it's so run down and just a fraction of the great place it used to be. Don't go at night though - the town is pretty rough.

Keep it going! It feels so discouraging when you try and it seems like nothing happens but it will!
And if it makes you feel any better, one of the little ones I look after asked me yesterday, "Gosh, Jenn, why are you so fat?"
...after which I came home and ate chocolate chips, out of the bag. :|

The other thing to bear in mind, (and I didn't like the sound of this at all, but I had to at least allow for it as a possibility), is that you may be at your "correct" weight, your "set" weight now. You may have been artificially staying below it by smoking, and this may be the weight your body wants to be. I hope to god that's not true for me or for you, but it's something to consider.

Sounds like life is treating you well, dear. So proud of you for giving up the smokes - that's hard.
Love you - miss you. xoxoxo.
