ok Im a couple days behind on the blog thing

Monday at party city we got in 2 semis both with 26 pallets which in regular terms means we got in a shit load of stuff LOL... I have pictures Ill post later of the progress...its a little tedious putting everything away...

i guess on Monday we were all talking too much so Tuesday they put the smack down on us and told us we couldn't talk all day which sucked... LOL

Our manager is usually a positive reinforcement kind of guy so that put a pretty negative spin on the day for everyone.

I came home last night and just didn't feel like even being social online the day put off such a bad vibe... i hope today is more positive if not im gonna say something to the manager... LOL he might fire me but i don't care you know me i gotta run that mouth. and for 8 bucks an hour im not gonna work like im in prison LOL just not gonna do it.


anyway...

My friend bonnie is hooking me up with portrait sittings right and left shes so cool.. im gonna do a family portriat session with one of her co workers this weekend .. and shes working on getting a bunch of girls together for a sexy shoot party...

and my hannah girl ... thank you so much for writing that Bio I love it... You rawk girlfriend! I really feel like we are pulling the whole marketing thing on getting my work together and out in the public up and running... Im going to get some business cards designed this week ...

and the next booking i get im going to buy the .com for the website so that can start going online..maybe this weekend. I have a couple of brides almost ready to book.

Working on the photography stuff (Hannah and Anna)

Hey girl I started this blog so we can keep track of our conversation better...
and all our ideas can be in one spot..

the 5x7, and 8x10's i can print here but anything bigger until i can afford a larger format photo printer will have to be outsourced...

I can also do the cards here or have them printed through a outsource but to start the more i can print here the better...

It would be cool if once we got all this stuff organized and printed I could get into a show somewhere and see how it goes..

I think for all the prints Ill need to find some pretty boxes to put them in to keep them organized and standing up maybe print some tabs that stick out beyond the prints with little version of the images so we can see what they are in the box with out having to dig through them ... ive noticed some other photographer that have thier prints that are just matted and wrapped that the images get messed up when people dig through them..





I love that picture too but its actually a really bad one for print as its very tiny from my web cam... and its grainy for print.. Ill set up my canon one day and do some head shots just for the bio...

Im off this weekend so Ill work on some highlights of things for the Bio ...

I want to give you something for helping with this a percentage ... a flat fee whatever you want to do lets discuss that... a percentage of sales like your my photography manager LOL something... and dont try that im just doing it to be a friend stuff, lets approach this as a business. becuase honestly I can get the images and i can print them up but i need help with all this other stuff organizing and getting things right to be really out there!

Talk to you soon
Anna

Movie Night review (FOOLS GOLD)

Ok Matthew with no shirt for almost two hours was worth the price of the movie LOL. Hes so hot! LOL

oh yeah I was gonna tell yall what I thought... sorry got sidetracked.

The movie is a treasure hunt. it had some pretty good acting and lots of funny moments... some serious ass kicking and silly slapstick!

I loved it myself .. It was kinda a chick flick but the fighting would make the guys laugh...

I went alone to the saint cloud twin a small theater here in town and i got stuck next to a bunch of teenagers who constantly were texting their friends during the movie... how irritating i almost grabbed the phone out of the hand and threw it of little girl next me ... dont mess with a woman watching a hottie LOL...

All in All I give it a big thumbs up!!!

Happy movie going
anna

A beautiful sunset for Yall

some more shots of what I have been doing

these are a few of the sections I have been working on.. You cant really see them but there are like a million pegs that hold merchandise on those shelves you have to put in each peg then label it with the price tag and sku numbers its very tedious work!!!

Party City

Here is the balloon wall I helped to build at party city

sunset roses

Thought yall might enjoy this photo my white roses covered in the glow of a sunset.

So Its been a busy week

Rex left today to go out on the road for 6 weeks with his mentor... Hes nervous but Im sure he will do great he got a 97 in school while he was there so Im sure he learned the things he needed .

Im staying busy at party city... got a few weddings coming up this weekend.. and I found a couple to rent the cottage they are moving in on the 15th ... yeay

things seem to be turning around at the lakeside hideaway.. Man Jan kicked my ass LOL~ Im ready for a fun february

Hannah i hope your rent your place girl
and tony feel better soon sweetie... Im making chicken noodle soup for you now!

Hugs to you both
Anna

Sorry its been a few days since ive been here

alot going on here... work and rex came home and is waiting for his mentoring truck to go back on the road and everyone being sick and trying to get better ...

I think i can say im back up to 70 percent on my pp situation... it is starting to improve .. im not having to push as hard to make things happen but I still have to drink alot to keep things going.
I think im gonna survive though..

Pnut is seeming to get better too. he needs to start eating a whole bunch and gain some weight again. I think a combo for him was he ate something out side a dead fish or something and his puppy teeth are getting ready to come out and i think he had a growth spurt cause he got taller and longer over the last week...


the job at party city is ok.. alot of work to be done and its a lot of climbing ladders and lifting heavy shit.. who needs a gym working there.. I had to put mineral ice on my back this morning just cause I know im not a spring chicken any more and Im trying to keep up with these 20 year olds and not look like a wuss LMAO

I did the shoot for my friend sunday we got some pretty shots but she was nervous and not feeling it but I think she still had fun and wants to do it again.


I have a couple interested in the cottage i should be talking to them again today.

How are all of you?

Hugs
Anna
