Green Is A Restful Color.

Did you know:  Green is a restful color with some of the same calming attributes of blue. Like blue, time moves faster in a green room.

Green also denotes balance, harmony, & stability.  Green is one of my favorite colors; it's a stark contrast from my favorite above all, black.

I also decided a couple months ago that I want either a moss or tea green with a touch of yellow/gold as my wedding colors.  Unless I find some super awesome black dress(es), then you know...  Hahah.  I would TOTALLY rock a black wedding gown ;)  No worries.  I don't have 'wedding' on the brain.  Far from that actually.  Just need to keep these notes somewhere.

Anyhow, I should turn this blog into a "what I wear when I'm bored" kinda thing.  Haha.  Saturday, I was quite bored. I played with some make-up & made myself feel pretty.  Always nice.  Took some photos and played outside on the deck with my two baby dogs.  After that, I cleaned up a bit and watched season 2 of House!  Exciting.  That was pretty much my whole day.

Right now I have some website work that I need to get done.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of the day though.  *sigh*  Maybe I'll play video games.  Hah.  We'll see.  Smile!

Happy Day.

I took time off from all the cover letter writing & application filling to stop and make myself feel pretty.. er, prettier.  Hey, nothing wrong with that.  I find that when I feel pretty, I feel happier.  Hah!  Not that I am lacking confidence ;)  Not the case.  It simply feels nice.

I also stopped and took a few photos.  I haven't really played with my camera in a long time.  I'm happy with the results :)  I got some great photos of Lexi & Zeus.  I'll have to post those in a follow-up entry.

I spent a good amount of yesterday, TEXTING those two.  Funny.  I enjoyed it.  I am rather happy with the results as well.  Makes me feel like a played a hand in it all in a strange way.  I usually try to avoid these situations, but this one was simply unavoidable.  Best of luck, loves.

Today wasn't as productive as I would've liked it to be, but there's always tomorrow.  Peter & I will be heading to Denver to visit his mom for a bit.  Haven't seen her in forever.  Maybe I can get my iPod fixed as well?  Hopefully there's time.  We shall see :)  

Here's a full-shot of the photo I posted above:

Exhausted.

I am completely .. utterly.. EXHAUSTED!  I have been running on 2 1/2 hours of sleep since 6AM and my body is barely functioning at the moment.  I'm surprised I didn't give in to my bodies desperate attempt for a nap and instead kept myself awake.  If I took that nap, I would either 1) be up all night once I got up or  2) still be sleeping and would eventually wake up way to early to know what to do with myself.

I woke up at 6AM to take my mom to the farmer's market.  Yes, every Tuesday I need to take her so that she can get fresh papayas cheap:  3 for $1.00.  It takes all but 20-25 minutes really, but it screws with my sleep!  What I would give for loooong, continuous sleep.  The thought/feeling seems so foreign to me now.

I needed to get some website work done so I worked on that instead of going back to sleep.  I had more work to than I thought.  That's always a good thing.  I had less than an hour before my mom guys had to leave and I had to watch the patients so again, it was useless to sleep.  Once my brother & mom left for her appointment, I was left to watch my mother's patients.  At 11:30, I got their lunch ready and round them up to eat.  My Filipino shows came on shortly thereafter and I was able to just veg out on my shows for a little bit.

Later on, I went to the post office to send off a 

surprise mini care package for Peter.  Hope he likes the candy :)  Actually, that kid just loves candy!  Any kind of candy will do!  After that, I went over to Long's and picked up more 2 liter bottles of soda.  10 of them to be exact.  At 99 cents each, that's a bargain in Hawaii!  Talked to Peter for a while, sat on my computer... I am running on empty.  I need to sleep soon so that I can recoup the lost energy and prepare myself for our planned hiking trip tomorrow.  Hopefully the 'unsures' will be sure to come tomorrow morning.

I took these self-portraits during Sunday's shoot.  The lighting was perfectly awesome :)

The second photo has the wind swept effect in action!  Haha.  Can't wait to go back to this place next week.  Portraits will be our main focus this time around.  Woohoo.
