Today

1. I’m working at my dining room table today as opposed to my desk. I feel a little less couped up.

2. I just got a new MacBook Pro 17″ and I am in heavenly bliss. I’ve been waiting on this bad boy since I used them last in 2002. That was a long time ago. It is AMAZING how much faster I can run all of my stuff on and I’m going through my work like a mad woman. Just don’t ask me to buy you anything anytime soon because my budget is back to nil. So sad. I’m also doing my best to figure out Lightroom this week to hopefully speed up my workflow even more. I bought it a couple of months ago and finally sat down yesterday to watch about 3 hours of tutorials on how to use it.

3. There’s my good old HP laptop. It still works ok, but it was starting to do some really strange stuff (or NOT doing stuff is more like it) and it was taking me so darn long to get through work. I just might have cussed that thing out about every other minute before Derrick had enough and said it was time to buy the new one. Ahhh. I still use it for email, because I cannot figure out how to configure my mail on the MacBook to save my life. Yesterday, I somehow lost every single email before November on both my JSP and Hotmail account and I am clueless as to how to get them back, or if I even can. I am open to suggestions :).

4. I also use it to watch shows while I’m working :). Shhh! This happens to be the latest episode of Castle, which I adore. You can also find me watching Parenthood, Grey’s Anatomy, The Office, Friday Night Lights and if I tell you anymore, I’m going to look like I’m completely obsessed with watching TV. 🙂

5. Coffee which is currently invaded by Pumpkin Latte Creamer. Is it bad that I’ve recently moved to 2-3 cups a day? My bill for K-Cups for my beloved Keurig has gone sky high, but I still feel justified as it is not nearly as expensive as the Starbucks addiction that it suppressed.

6. Lunch today: leftover chips from Chipotle and salsa. The increased coffee has left me not very hungry through lunch…

7. My card reader full of the latest of many photo shoots. My iPhone which my husband recently surprised me with when my Blackberry broke a few weeks ago. Christmas came early as went from a PC girl to an Apple girl over night!

8. Fall decorations…ahh. Living in Phoenix, I try to make it feel like Fall wherever possible as it has JUST started getting chilly out. I’m trying my hardest to not dig out Christmas decorations to replace them, however. I’m already listening to Christmas music!!!

9. Another must lately. This candle is called Cobbler on the Porch by Gold Canyon and it is my absolute favorite. I just got that a few weeks ago and it’s already half way burned.

10. My new watch that I scored for $6 bucks from Target. That #2 really killed any spending budget so I’m always on the hunt for good deals on the things I need.

11. Crayons and goldfish: reminders that my little one is going to wake up any minute and then all of this in front of me will be put on hold until her bedtime!

 

Have a happy hump day!!
