Dd's senior pix-what an ordeal! LOL!

Yesterday was dd's senior picture day, it started with her having to attend a meeting at work at 8:00!!! Waaaay too early! She, her friend Jessie, and I stayed up till 2 a.m. Monday night watching Pretty Woman. I'd forgotten how much I like that movie! Anyway, we ate breakfast at Mickey D's then headed to the hairdresser. She colored Sarah's hair her favorite red, looks super with her Irish complexion, then trimmed it a little and curled it, put half up in back, She looked so beautiful!! Got mine shaped up and "done" too.

Got to the studio and did our makeup, thank God for Jessie! She did Sarah's makeup, my tom boy isn't good with that stuff! LOL! Then the action started. First outfit, the traditional yearbook poses. Then change and her work outfit. Then family grouping with dh's urn and flag. Then change and pix with her best friend since kindergarten. Change again and "country" setting with ds and their cowboy hats. Then they put the black velvet drape on her, and did the very formal shots with her hair down and all curly around her face. That did it! She looked so beautiful, I cried. We did a couple of the two of us, and then change again and go outside for pix with best friend again and the three of us. All this took almost 2 hours!!! I was pooped!! We both ended up taking long naps when we should have had supper. But I can't wait to see the proofs!!!

Today is housecleaning day, realtor is coming to take "inside" pix for the internet listing. C'mon, buyer, buy this dang condo!!!! We're having open house on Sunday, hope someone comes out of the bushes and loves it! I start my new job on Monday, can't wait. AND I get paid on Friday! Gotta love the family owned businesses1!!

Have a great day, sisters, and keep smiling!! Love and hugs to all, Pam

Pam those pictures sound just beautiful I am betting you are going to have a very hard time picking which ones you want. Your little girl is growing up my friend.

Keeping everything crossed for this weekend and selling that condo.

Things are going to get better for you!!

Pam sounds like the pics were a hit! I hope you can scan and share them with us!

Things sound as if they are turning out for you lately so I am sure that you are on a roll... and that the Condo will sell too.

Happy for you!

hugs, Lor

Wow, Pam, the pictures sound like quite a production. Things have sure changed since we had our Senioe Pics taken. I look like Leanordo's "Madonna" in mine,lol....straight long hair, and just a hint of a smile. We sure didn't have the option of different outfits and settings, let alone family and friends. I hope you can share them with us. I too love "Pretty Woman", must be the fairy tale princess dream in us, huh? Charlie

Hi Pam! I agree - yeah for family owned businesses (like ours). This yearbook thing is way beyond when we had our pictures taken - LOL. Dh only put on his suit jacket - kept his jeans on because they only took a face pose AND they were only black & white - OMG, now I'm dating us - LOL!

love,
