For my Sister Clare................
http://darylbenson.com/
My sister Clare has this 'thing' about meeting famous people...she likes to have her picture taken with them, get their autograph/ signed book and give them a kiss!!!! Wah!!!! we are soooo different lol but it is fun to see the pictures! She has kissed Alan Titchmarsh, Handy Andy...among others and next week is going to see Gordon Ramsey (from Kitchen Nightmares and Hells Kitchen) as he is signing books in her town. So she will get a kiss and a picture :)
Anyway, we were talking about this and I said that the only person I had any interest in meeting was Daryl Benson...the photographer from Sherwood Park who is my IDOL!!!! My Mum had given me the money for his book while visiting last year and I wnated to wait for a book signing.....well earlier this year (I know I've blogged this before) he was signing books at Costco and I was soooooo excited!! I walked past him twice all nervous before gettingt he courage to go and chat with him about photography, cameras, his book etc etc..............
I didn't ask for a kiss and I didn't get my picture because that just isn't my kind of thing but I got my book signed and got to talk photography with a hero!!!!

Brotherly love.................
On Sunday evening Sam fell asleep on his brother while watching tv....poor Laurie wasn't comfortable at all but didn't move because his brother was sleeping so soundly!!!
At the salon.................
The other day the girls decided to give their Barbies highlights...............blue streaks in their hair......and then this became an 'all over tan' for Barbie and then they started tattooing them with paint :) they had so much fun transforming their dolls with this washable paint...and then they get to bath them too :) I think the brunette was too nervous to have any treatments at all ;)
pictures to visit..............
Tasha has posted a few of th epictures I took of her family on her blog...she doesn't have all the pictures yet and they are unedited.......but you can see them at:

No time to blog.............
....................or write! Carla I haven't even started a reply to your wonderful let...forgive me!!! I ahd no idea this business would take off in the way it has! Lloyd keeps telling me that things will calm down and we will get into a routine but for now it just seems crazy!
On the good side, I am too busy to think about food lol.......I have to be reminded to eat so this is a good thing :) Hopefully I will shed a few pounds before January!!!!
Lloyd came home early yesterday...he didn't sleep the night before so he finished work at 3pm and came home....with a GORGEOUS bouquet of roses for me..............why??? Because it has been a while since he bought me flowers......Christopher laughs and calls me spoilt and I laugh because it has been a while.............at least a MONTH!!!!! lol I am too spoilt!!! The roses are gorgeous...I will take pictures!
He also picked up a coffee for me on the way home :)
How on earth did I get so lucky???????????? Lloyd I love you! He said they are yellow for friendship because I'm his best friend, but the tips of the roses are red for love :) Or passion :) I really am the luckiest lady alive :) He is such a sweetheart!
Lloyd slept in this morning and had coffee with me before going into work for 9:30. It was really nice to spend time with him this morning,......normally he leaves between and 5am and 6am and I kind of grunt goodbye through the darkness as he leaves.......then I roll over and continue snoring :) lol! Isn't HE lucky!!!!!! :)
So this morning I have cleared out my drawers beside the computer...I am normally so organized but lately I haven't had time so I have been cramming everything in. Now they are neat and sorted and my desk is clear again. I have had two new bookings for photo shoots come through this morning. Thats wonderful! Its so nice to put faces to names! The pictures from last weekend are all done and go in the mail to the clients today!
I played several games of Boggle with Susie this morning. I've vacuumed all the main floor. The children have been building with Lego and using the computer.
Abigail drew a picture of me at Elk Island Park....... Sam played with the Lego and is now in bed napping.
Yesterday there was no homeschool group as Parents Place has no home right now. This is something that annoys me...its down to money AGAIN. The rent has been increased beyond anything Parents Place can afford. On the news today they were talking about Landlords raising their rental fees HUGELY. One lady said she had a letter yesterday to say her rent for her 2 bed apartment will go up by $245 a month in January! How are people supposed to live?????? I think that is staggering and unfair....people are just getting greedy because of the thriving Alberta economy and they are forgetting that not everyone is benefitting from the boom.
So yes, no homeschool group yesterday. We took Chris to work and then went to the library, the mall, to All That Jazz to get Susie a black skirt and tights for tapdancing class and then we went to the thrift Store 'County Clothesline'. I love that place! I bought two sweatshirts for me for walking the dogs..........some clothes for the children and a handbag (purse) with embroidered butterflies on it for Susie. Abby then found these hilarious bright yellow sunglasses that look crazy on her but we HAD to buy them!!!
Home for lunch and then Nancy phoned to alter the time of her photo shoot and we ended up talking for AGES......and then my sister phoned from England and was on the phone chatting for AGES so I got very little work done....I had wanted to be finished by the time Lloyd got home but it didn't happen...but it was nice chatting. My sister has a son called Isaac who is 5 and much like Abigail (hard work lol) so we find it hilarious that the new hurricane is called Hurricane Isaac!!!!!
I went to check the mail box and found a big parcel from my parents. The COOLEST socks for me - I will have to take a photograph!!!! They are very bright and tall!!! socks for Lloyd, comics for Laurie, an English flag for Susie, knickers (yes knickers Christie NOT panties lol) for Abigail and some recipes and a few other things inside...Lauries comic came with a boomerang so he went straight out to play with that! My Mum is away with my other sister (they go walking every September but this year were going visiting some extended family) so I will phone tomorrow and thank them for the parcel.
On Monday we got a big parcel from the Canadian Space Agency (Laura take note!!!) I emailed them last week and asked for any help with a space project before heading down to NASA and they sent a pack with two CD's, a jigsaw, stickers, tattooos, bookmarks, posters, booklets.............its brilliant!!!!!! :) Thank you space agency people!!!!!!
I need to take some pictures of MY family and add them...its been a while!!!
