My new Toy

I have wanted a new camera for a while, but couldn't justify buying one since mine still worked. Well, it broke- or should I say- Maddie broke it. And I whined enough to Daniel that he gave in and bought me the Mac Daddy Camera I have been wanting for awhile now.

I love the camera but have no idea how to use it. OK, I do know how to use it. But I want to know how to use everything that it offers . I don't want to have to pay anyone to take pictures any more.
Here is one of my favorites that I have recently taken:


I take my first class in a few weeks and can't wait to see my results and progress.

Things I thought I'd never have to say as a parent........

Maddie get that fork out of your diaper.

(she was trying to hide it from me so she wouldn't have to eat breakfast)

My Ashton Experience Part 2

Day 4- The final day. I meet another neighbor, who has now decided to join in on the hype, and we walk to where the action is. As we are waiting Ashton’s cars goes by, we lock eyes and I know he is now considering leaving Demi for me. I am thinking on how to break the news to Daniel. Later, Daniel has decided to join me. I know what you are thinking “What about Maddie? She is sleeping and my sister is watching her. I’m not bad of a parent.” We ended up at a friend’s house in their bedroom and we tape this:

(enjoy the background conversation) It’s Ashton, Katherine, their body doubles and a Scene.






After all is said and done, I’m glad I got to join in the hype and I’m glad it is over. Now, we just have to wait and see if the short scene makes the final cut.

My Ashton Experience

Ok- I had to become a celebrity stalker for a few days. A scene from Five Killers with Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl was being taped in my neighborhood. Yes, I said in my neighborhood of little ole Woodstock, GA. The movie was being taped in 2 of my friends yards. And I was going to try my hardest to be apart of this.




Any way here is how it down for a few days with me.




Day 1- Taping in postponed due to rain. Will continue in 2 days.




Day 2- I head to Rome for a dance recital. I get a phone call from a friend saying the taping was going to start that night. I rush home at 1030pm, get Maddie to bed, kiss Daniel, grab a glass of wine, mett my neighbor and we're off to meet some of our other friends. Well, it is one block from my house- I find my friends (security is pretty loose this night) and it begins to rain. I'm not concerned about getting wet, but my wine getting watered down. I only last and hour before I head home.




Day 3- I'm ready to see some Ashton! I have a chilled bottle of wine and some snacks. My friend Pam meets me at the house, I kiss Maddie and daniel and I'm off, again. We get to the loccation and sercuirty is a pain in the butt. Pam calls a friend and we are now in her backyard. Pam got some great close ups. (We have decided to quit our day jobs to become paparazzi.)


This is what I got:






I call it a night around 1230- my feet hurt and my back is tired. I was happy that I got to see Ashton and Katherine through the fences.
