Stop Your Whining

So I have been getting complaints that I haven't updated in a while. So here. I am updating with my summer so far, because lets just say a lot has changed. I am no longer at the day care. As sad as it is, I got another job that is full time, and I could really use the money, so I am now a cake decorator at the Giant Eagle Bakery. It's a lot of fun most of the time, but I just got off of a ten day in a row stretch, and let's just say I'm really ready for vacation. Which is the next thing on my list...I'm so excited for saturday it hurts to think about. I miss Hayden so much, and I get to see him for a whole 10 days in a row!!! It's going to be great. We are going to Fenwick Island, DE, and it's going to be fun for all. My sister and her husband are going with Hayden and I to see Harry Potter, and it is going to be nothing short of incredible. I love going on vacation with my family. Though we may get on each others nerves from time to time, we usually have a pretty great time. I am excited to go somewhere new with the people I love.

Other than that there is nothing very new going on in my life. I will try to post after vacation, if not during. I will hopefully see you soon...whoever you is...not sure if many people read this or not...if you do


HI

Summer So Far

So summer has barely started, and so far so good. I have been hanging out a lot with my best friends, and it has been awesome. I saw my friend Ashley last weekend that I haven't seen in almost 2 years, and it was awesome. I got to hang out with a lot of people that I haven't been able to in a long time. Hayden came out to visit a week or so ago, and that was awesome! We went to game 1 of the Pens vs. Hurricanes series, and it was amazing. I started work at SS, and that was a blast! I love working with those kids, and most of those people (shhhh don't tell them I don't like all of them). I just enjoy everything about this summer so far. I mean I am sure I am going to bite my tongue eventually, and I will write an angry blog somewhere down the line, but for now things are going ok. I haven't really touched my camera other than helping Sharon during my internship, and I am actually ok with that. I am happy that I don't have to do projects. I don't like having to be forced to take pictures. It drives me nuts being forced into those kind or things. So I am happy where I am right now. I miss Baltimore, but hopefully I will be going back soon. I want to go visit ASAP, but I just need to save up for that.

Soon enough...until then I will hopefully write sooner rather than later.

Sleep

I want to be this baby.

Sleep is really hard for me to come by. I figured I would be a smart cookie today, and go to sleep early because I have to work at 7. So I curled up into my bed around 11 when we got home, said my goodnights to the world, and just couldn't manage to shut my eyes for long enough for something to happen. I want to go to sleep, and I AM tired, but I just can't do it. I find something to think about, and keep me up. I think about the dumbest things too, like what if working on wednesday really sucks, and I'm stuck there until like 11:30. What if the pictures that I take on Friday for prom are really crappy, and Sharon hates my work? What if I forget how to edit pictures and then the clients aren't happy because I'm an idiot? The likely hood of any of these things happening is so slim that it's ridiculous reasoning for me to still be awake. Now I know that working with the infants today is going to be rough. Am I allowed to go to sleep when they take there naps? I know there is an open crib in the room somewhere. Maybe that is what is keeping me awake. The fact that I am so stoked to work in the baby room this week. I love working with the infants, it's really rewarding with people that are so innocent. But I swear if I get put in the transition room I am gonna be seriously pissed. I always get put in there, and I just want to stay in the infant room so bad. So watch it ******** (I won't mention names), I am staying in that room whether you like it or not! I'm hoping it's fun, because I really like babies, I don't wanna kill that feeling so soon into the summer. I guess I'm going to try this sleep thing again for like an hour. Hopefully you don't hear from me too soon, because I would really like to be asleep. Until then.... Sweet Dreams

I'm wasn't ready to say goodbye today, but I guess it's not really goodbye. I'll be seeing you soon.


I love you.

Dear Baltimore

Dear Baltimore,


Though the semester has proven tough I have found that there are some small things that I like about you. You have proven to me that you have more to offer than hobo's and the smell of pee in the parking garages. As bitter as I have been with you through out the last two years, I believe that things are slowly starting to look up. I have discovered parts of you that I did not know about before. These things are incredible, and I am sad to be saying goodbye to them. A few of them are going to be listed below with pictures to go with them. So here goes Baltimore...

Thank you for the nice weather

Thank you for the awesome friends that I have met and grown to love and will have a hard time leaving.
For Hayden, he has made school a much more enjoyable place to be.

So all in all Baltimore you have been much more enjoyable than I thought you could ever be. I think I have to thank most of the people that are involved in my life, and not so much you, but you area a part of it Baltimore, don't get me wrong. I can't wait to see you again in August!!

With all the love in the world,

Bethany

My New Project

These are images from my final project in my Contemporary Color Landscape class. I am very interested in the body, so for the last project I used my boyfriend Hayden as a model. When I showed it to the class the immediate response is that it had to be more personal. So I went right back to it for my final. I am still not 100% happy with where it is, but I do enjoy what I've done. These are very personal, and very intimate. Let me know what you think!

Landscape Project

I think I'm finally out of my funk. Here is the project I'm working on for my Contemporary Color Landscape class. We had to do a project on dreams, and what our "dream world" would be. Mine is in bed, black and white, and kind of out of focus.
