We all need a vacation to refresh our passion, making all the stress of deadlines, taxes:D, work, the hiccups of life, fall away. I took a "picture vacation" this evening, going through all the film negatives from Hawaii while listening to some Neko Case. It was just the trick I needed for all of the above AND my server going down. CPP is transferring to a larger server to handle the large amount of emails (I don't like to delete them). Does this make me a geek for being so excited about a server upgrade?!
I've answered every single email in my inbox so if you have not received a reply, kindly send the email again and I will return your email at a lightning fast speed.
If you need a quick vacation, enjoy the small bit of ocean and music:)
Another exciting upgrade for CPP is a custom shinny blog. I can't wait to show you what ITDR helps create with you in mind...think large images, visible comments (because you spend the time leaving your love it should show vs. a small number at the bottom of each post), a playlist for what is rockin' in the studio and slideshows in blog posts. I still have not decided to jump on the bandwagon of Twittering which can be added to the blog. Thankfully you can help with resolving the question, twitter? Yes or No? Do you twitter, what is your honest opinion of getting updates on the "toy of the day" Jettie throws in the toilet? Would you want to see pictures of our weekly trip to our CSA? Your thoughts mean so much and will be the ultimate decision maker!
can't wait for all the changes!!! I am so curious about twitter, but I really just do not understand why it is so fun...hmmmm...something to investigate after the wedding I guess!

Looking forward to the new blog!! I'm sure it will be fantastic! :) I haven't figured out the whole twittering thing yet. However, I always love getting little glimpses into your life and your adorable family! It never ceases to put a smile on my face. Sooo, if you began to twitter...I'd have to check it out!

My advanced age and lack of ability to easily adapt to other technology changes (still upset with the new facebook layout) means I have no idea how to use twitter. I cant wait for the new blog changes. How exciting!

I would love to read your tweets! And omg, you have a CSA? That is so freaking cool. Seriously, I'm jealous. Happy Thursday, gorgeous!

i LOVE hopper- i have Nighthawks at my house!
your new blog will be fantastic! i'm not a twitter person... not yet anyway. the only reason why i joined facebook was because my little brother made me. i'm such a sucker for peer pressure... :)

Ummm...I'm a complete twitter addict. I joined a few months ago and really didn't use it a whole lot, but for the past 2 or 3 months I've been on it constantly! If you decide to join, you'll have to let us know your name. I'm @jenn_if_er

I was six feet away from you at the Denis Reggie event and didn't get to meet you - WHICH SUCKED it was the one down point to my night..
Anywho Twitter - YES, come on in the waters fine!
and I am excited to see what you do with hte blog ITDR does some wonderful work I am sure it will be AWESOME!

1. Twitter is so much fun! I didn't really get it at first either, but it grows on you. If you like blogs, you'll like twitter.
2. I am so bummed we didn't get to meet for that coffee in Chicago. When are you coming back next?
3. The photos from the session you shot here make me SERIOUSLY consider booking a session. Just not sure how to justify the cost right now. Hmm.. 4 year wedding anniversary? lol. I'm going to have to think this one over before I can convince Frank (dh), but the images are beautiful. You really captured the city!

I have yet to tweet on twitter, I'm contemplating wether or not I need another technological addiction, first myspace sucked me in, then your blog, then facebook.. Its insanity, but in a good way =) And I would love to hear about Jettie's toy toilet exploits. Does she say "water go down the hole... Teddy go down the hole... blankie go down the hole..." when she does it? I think that was from tiny toons.
Love you!

YAY! Jettie and Hughes exploits would be fab, as would CSA pics. I can't wait to see all of those pictures and hear some new tunes.

i'm pretty sure anything you would put on your blog would be more entertaining/fun/happy/relaxing/important than revising my thesis on bipedalism in early hominids.... so bring on the super exciting fancy changes, lady! we can't wait!

New Blog = Big Fun
I can't wait to see the magic unfold! A few pics of the lil pumpkins always puts a smile on my face. Twitter...it's kind of like wine. I like the idea of it, but I am still trying to learn more.

Ooh, can't wait to see the new blog! Funny you mention Twitter... I just posted about it on my blog. I've had a twitter account for about a year, but just started using it again mainly so I can "tweet" from Lobby Day. Honestly, I'm not sure anyone cares what I'm doing, but I thought I'd give it a shot! You should try it...then we can feel lame together. ;)

Thanks for your comments about Twitter everyone...it does make me feel better that Jenn, Raquita, and Sarah all have accounts. I'm thinking the craze has not caught on yet for STL so we won't be lame, we'll be ahead of the curve:)
TGWTMS-Tech changes bother me as well, thankfully I've only been on FB for a month so I wouldn't know what the new changes are all about, yep I'm behind the curve on that one.
Steph-Travis found it:)
Pamela-that print is one that most people would know him from...such beauty in his light capture, night or day
Raquita!!-what?! we were that close and didn't meet? There were so many people there and it was a great night:):)
Christen-That weekend was overwhelming and we still didn't do everything we wanted to...Trav and I are coming up a Top Secret time this summer, we'll make plans:)
Chrissy of Chrissy and Ryan-the brains in your head blow me away girl!

I still cannot figure out the Twitter thing. LOL! I need a vacation badly. Maybe I will put out the old photos!
Posted by: Amanda | 2009.04.20 at 01:09 PM
