Well the camping trip is postponed a week. I am not sure this is the best decision, but all things considered, its better. I need the vacation, but it can wait one more week. It is making this week go by much faster.

Had a rough night last night, I did get some sleep. I'm surprised that I did. I figured I'd be up all night playing author, but I refrained.

The new lights... Its good I got them cheap. I had to replace a flash tube and buy reflectors. Basically doubled the cost of the kit, but they will be fully functional and will be my main set of lights I think. I'll take down the other set and use them on the road. They're just smaller and more portable.

Did portraits of 3 of my kids in the studio. 2 of them because they needed updated pics for their facebooks and other profiles. 1 of them just because he was being damn cute. Been doing some weird abstract stuff with my oldest son. He's into it. Its good I have someone to help. My wife has been saying she will grant me some time to take pics of her, but who knows when that will be, if it will be at all. I'm hopeful that we'll be able to get back in the studio maybe after the camping trip. I just hope I don't hear those fateful words, "I need to lose 10 lbs." She absolutely doesn't need to, and it likely won't happen anytime in the next several months. If she needed to lose it that bad, she could do it. Truth is she doesn't really need to. She has this big problem weighing more than me. Big deal. It isnt' either.
