it makes me laugh and cry a little at the same time

So I was in Michigan last weekend, shooting this wedding:
The bride was a dear girl who I only know online. Apparently she wanted me as the main photographer but the groom wasn't sure, having never met me. So I got to be her own personal photographer and follow her around all weekend and take candids. Can you say "fun"??? I didn't have to do a single formal shot! 'Twas lovely. Plus I finally got to meet Christy in person, and she is AMAZING. One of the sweetest, most genuine people I have ever met. I totally want to hang out with her now, and absolutely adored her sisters. So crazy fun!
So the weekend before was this wedding:
This one was a backyard wedding, and it was gorgeous. The bride and groom were super easy-going and we had a ton of fun working with them. Katy was just very unselfconcious and joyful, and it was awesome to see how much her new family adored her.
So this week, I'm putting together an album, doing a couple of practice photo shoots, eating too many Butterfingers, reading book six of Harry Potter, playing with my kitten, and driving to Ohio to get the girls. Hooray! Life is good.

It is, however:
-having neon orange fingernails (because I can!)
-owning a brand new phone (blackberry! Posting on it right now)
-being in michigan for a whole weekend for a wedding
-consequently having lots of free time
-the prospect of nothing but harry potter, book five, and pringles for a whole evening
-having taken a leave of absence from sbucks becuase I'm so busy with weddings
-having the first signed contract for next year
-having the kids out for the next month. Woo!

So I counted it up, and last week, since I shot a wedding, I put in about 40 hours at Sbucks and another 30 on photography stuff. This would be why I haven't been posting; its all I can do to maintain clean clothes right now. Our wedding on Saturday nearly got tornadoed out, but it cleared up in time for some amazing photos. So excited.
So anyway, I cam across this etsy store: le papier It actually belongs to my cousin's wife, and I'm rather enthralled with some of the offerings. She's very big into silhouettes, and I love it. Gorgeousness.
I hope to have a picture post by this afternoon; I'm editing like a madwoman. Also watching season two of "The Closer." Love. That. Show. "Thank yew so very much!"

reading: Atonement, by Ian McEwan. It's absolutely lovely, and much more subtle than the movie. Beautiful writing.
watching: Prince Caspian. We didn't make the midnight showing of this, instead landing at a packed Friday night viewing where we watched, necks kinked, from the third row. But I still loved it. It doesn't feel two hours long at all. There are a couple differences from the book (it's been a while since I read it, so there could be more), like the attack on the castle and the romance between Caspian and Susan, but I think as a whole it works quite well. Loved.
eating: strawberry shortcake for every possible meal. Seriously.
listening: "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" soundtrack. It's hilarious. Has two of the puppet rock opera songs from the movie, as well as "these boots are made for walking" in Hawaiian. Seriously.
