sad pie.

there's something about the movie "waitress" that really hits a note with me. maybe because it's about a passionate woman finding her way, but i think it's a darker reason. adrienne shelly, the writer, director, and co-star, was murdered after the movie was made. it's all i can think about when i watch the movie. the little girl in the movie is played by her daughter, and there is an unscripted line at the end where the daughter whispers "bye, mommy" that is eerie & heartbreaking. the movie was written by her when she was 8 months pregnant, and is inspired by her fear of being a mother. my heart breaks for her poor daughter. i love this movie, especially the styling, but it just makes me so sad. such is life.

on a lighter note...

my first guest blog post for MCP Actions gets posted tomorrow morning at 9 am! i will post a link as soon as it's up!

My brain and my computer are tired. I spent most of the weekend cleaning & working - actually, I only went outside to go for a walk last night with Adam. That's ok though, the house really needed some TLC, and I got some quality work done.

One of my accomplishments this weekend was writing a guest blog for MCP Actions. It is a Photoshop Tutorial, and I didn't even know if they were going to use it. Turns out they liked it so much, they asked me to be a regular contributor! This is super exciting news for me. I am constantly trying to get my name out there, and MCP Actions has nearly 14,000 followers on Facebook. However, the first post won't be up until September 16th - but don't worry, I will post a link everywhere I can!!!

September will be a very exciting time for me and my business. Not only will my guest blog (my first!) post go up, but I will be going through a re-branding process. I have so many different feelings about this - excited, nervous, worried, elated, relieved, terrified...basically the whole spectrum. It is really important to provide the designers with as much information about myself and my business as possible, so I have been doing a great deal of introspection. I am not sure when the process will begin, but you can be sure I'll keep everyone updated on my progress.

And now, to bed...after a little Super Mario World.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

P.S. My camera has been shipped off the Nikon for servicing. I miss it dearly, and hope to be getting it back ASAP! So there probably won't be too many pictures posted in the near future.
