Daily Mantra: “Play fair. Don’t hit people. Say you’re sorry when you hit somebody.”

{robert.fulghum}

I AM … in a good place right now.
I WANT… to eat some cake, but know I will just feel guilty about it later.
I HAVE … a hangnail.
I KEEP … random post it notes, candles with no more life, secrets, gum wrappers.
I WISH I COULD … get away for a weekend with my husband, buy the 50mm 1.2L.
I HATE … ignorance and laziness.
I FEAR … not saying ‘I love you’ enough to my husband.
I HEAR … the hum of my computer.
I DON’T THINK … I can resist chips.
I REGRET … buying my 50mm 1.8 lens.
I LOVE … the sound of Katie singing in the morning when she wakes up, cake, sugar in general, the smell of my husbands cologne when we were first going out, Mikki’s flair for fashion.
I AM NOT … going to ever fit into my size 4 jeans again, so why do I keep them.
I DANCE … while walking down the street pushing the stroller. I have music in my head…I can’t help it.
I SING … in the shower, in the car, to Katie when no one else is home even though she asks me to stop.
I NEVER … will be organized again, for as long as I live…I am quite sure of it.
I RARELY … lose at anything.
I CRY WHEN I WATCH … the Biggest Loser…sad…I know!
I AM NOT ALWAYS … well behaved.
I HATE THAT … I can’t eat pizza every day and still maintain my current weight.
I’M CONFUSED ABOUT … why I have to take all these classes to get my degree.
I NEED … to eat some cake.
I SHOULD … be editing, but I love my blog so darn much!

Oh how I have missed your blog! I love reading about “you” and how you just lay it all out there. You take the most amazing and thought provoking portraits, and I wish you were in my neck of the woods so you could capture my children. You are amazing (even if you don’t fit into your size 4s ;) ) !!

Hi there, I just discovered your blog. I’m reading it and love, love, loving it. Your work is amazing! Just curious, why do you regret your 50mm lens? I was thinking of getting it. And, if you don’t mind sharing, do you have a favorite lens for shooting families? What about a most used lens?
