Latest Photo Shoots

2010-01-20T20:00:00.010-05:00

Me and my camera

I just love photo shoots and whether it's people, places or things, there is nothing I'd rather do. Some of my latest work from paid photo shoots:

Personal Photos: The twins...

Forgot I had a blog

2009-07-01T17:01:00.003-04:00

Well thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and all the other stuff out there, my poor blog has been neglected.

Let's see if I can't do a little better. What's up with me? Well, the twins turn 7 years old on Friday and they will each get their own Nintendo DS Lite. I am looking forward towards taking my boat out to the lake and spending 4th of July on the water with my girls.

What a fun time of the year to have a birthday!

Mine, Mine, Mine!

What's the Good Word?

2008-12-01T00:00:00.004-05:00

I’ve put my flip flops away until spring and I’ve brought out the scarves & gloves. It’s so sad when it’s time to turn the clocks back. No more long days, nothing but co-workers with colds.

Sigh… there are two good things about fall. Football & Halloween. My next post will be about Halloween but for now it's time to talk about my favorite subject..

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

It’s a wonderful thing, college football. I happen to be a DIE HARD Georgia Tech fan. I hate the Dawgs.

Of course I went to the biggest game of the season this past Saturday. The biggest rivalry in the south – UGA vs. GA Tech.

The game was in Athens – their home turf. During the first half of the game, UGA played their heart out. They gave it all they had. They walked into the locker room at halftime ahead by 16 points. The score was GA-28 vs. GT-12. All I heard was “What’s the Good Word?” and “”To Hell with GA Tech” from all the stupid GA fans. Obnoxious I tell ya but I never gave up on my boys. Let me give you a run down of how the 2^nd half went.

Once again, UGA’s defense was a NO-SHOW! The GA Bulldogs were humiliated by our Triple Option… The Jackets lit the dawgs up for 409 rushing yards. But wait, it gets much worse.

In four of their last five games, the Bulldogs gave up 38 or more points. This was supposed to be GA’s year . Poor, poor little pups.

SO WHAT’S THE GOOD WORD NOW BOYS? HOW ABOUT GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS RANKED 15^TH IN THE BSC. WHERE’S UGA RANKED? 17^TH

Pictures from the best game I've ever been to, seen, or dreamed about :

Even that evening ... after making it home safely from "Bulldog Country" I was still basking in the glow of a history making "Spanking"

Something Wicked This Way Comes...

HALLOWEEN

So Halloween is here, and yes I dress up every year as everyone does at my home-away-from-home fondly called “work.”

Yes, even “He Who Must Be Obeyed” (AKA my boss) dressed up in picture 1. Me and Twiggs (she's the ladybug) in picture two. Can you tell I'm a cat? I worked very hard on this costume.

The things I'm thankful for...

2008-11-26T20:58:00.000-05:00

I waited, I voted, I lost...

2008-11-05T18:18:00.000-05:00

Pantene?

2008-10-24T17:51:00.001-04:00

There is a reason for this post... I was watching the Pantene commercial where the model made it look so easy for this hair style. So after trying it, following the directions just like she said and waiting, the results are in...

It doesn't work.

Sometimes pictures scream

2008-08-28T06:30:00.002-04:00

Okay... so I've been busy. I am now down to zero readers because I update my blog every 6 months or so. Too bad.

I had to take a picture of myself in black & white for photography class. So here's the one I submitted. After looking at it again... I just laugh. You can see the twin's slide in the background. Sigh... a picture does say 1,000 words. This one screams "MOM, KIDS, 30-SOMETHING" lol.

Oh well, I'll take the slide and all that comes with it.

There's Something About Friday...

2008-06-20T20:03:00.003-04:00

I am so glad it's Friday. I have the entire weekend ahead of me. I'm talking 57 glorious hours before it starts all over again.

I am trying to blog more and as I sit here, I really don't know what to blog about. So I will just give my many readers a run-down of my week.

Monday: Geez I can't even remember Monday. Let's see. Oh hell let's move to Tuesday.

Tuesday: Went to work, stopped by the tanning bed, ummm, next. Read Wednesday, then come back to this section. I watched Deadliest Catch. Move on to Thursday.

Wednesday: Played softball with the girls, worked on a project for an upcoming family reunion, ohhh I forgot. Back to Tuesday real quick...

Thursday: Worked, laundry, sex, more laundry

Friday: Well nothing earth shattering yet, but the night is still young. Going out to play with my baby twins.

Catch Me Phil...

2008-06-17T22:36:00.002-04:00

I have two words for you tonight... Deadliest Catch.

I consider myself a very professional, classy, sheik 30-something girl. I don't bend rules with the exception of times when I bend the rules. I have high standards and I am anal as hell.

So what on earth was I thinking when I actually went to Captain Phil's site (the Cornelia Marie) and posted on his message board? I have no idea. Perhaps it was the 3 White Russians I drank during the first 30 minutes of the show.

Hey... shut up and fish.

My Mini Me

2008-06-16T20:38:00.002-04:00

She's groovy baby...and she's my mini me. This child is an incredible softball player. And yes, I am saying this because I'm her mom. Yes, she's only 5 years old, but she has great genes. I think I finally relate to Bill Cosby.

Can you see the talent? She's focused. She's ready. She's saying to herself "be the ball." Actually she's probably saying "when do we get snack?"

Just look at this stance. Strong arms, beautiful balance. This is what a hitter looks like. Now if only she hits the ball.

I'm telling you - she's got talent. Okay so the picture looks itimidating, however a little behind-the-scenes FYI... no, the ball did not make it past the pitcher, but hey - she's five.

I'm just saying.

Who Says Scarves are for Winter?

2008-06-13T12:15:00.002-04:00

I mean come on... ye with little fashion sense.

So I have twins. One is a tom girl like me. One wears scarves as dresses. They are absolutely perfect to me and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The reason I wear my cleats...

2008-05-17T06:36:00.000-04:00

Jennie Finch and Natasha Watley are back for the 2008 USA Softball Women's National Team

Way down yonder in the Chattahoochee...

2008-05-13T09:32:00.000-04:00

Went hiking at the Chattahoochee River ... of course I brought my camera. Oh sure I can show you pictures!

My New Point of View

2008-05-12T08:42:00.002-04:00

I got a camera for Christmas and I have been taking tons of pictures ever since. Because I tend to be a little obsessive... I've neglected my blog due to my new toy.

Now I love to lurk on other people's blogs and read their dirt, however I rarely comment anymore (usually because of the frequent interruptions here at the Griswald house).

The point? Everytime I take a picture I think about Not With the Program's blog and I swear to myself I am going to post all the pictures I've been taking.

Okay, so it's May. Well I am starting now.

My first experience of trying to photograph birds at my bird feeder... Please don't laugh - I'm really sheek and cool (I think).

And so she says part II

2008-04-27T08:37:00.005-04:00

I was looking at my friend's website (Xaviera) she created for her baby (due in July) early this morning. Twin 1 came in and saw the 4-D Ultra-sound pictures. Well, that started a whole lot of questions about where babies come from a little too early in the A.M. for me.

I changed the subject quickly and asked her "Syd, you are the youngest in our family. Do you want to tell "Babygirl D" some big girl tips so when she gets here she will know what to do and how to be a sister?"

Here's "Syd-Did's" advice to "Babygirl D"...

Baby D,

I want to tell you how it is to have big sisters. You will be happy because they will "bes nice to you sometimes" and they will play with you on the trampoline and even let you jump first. They can also teach you "Manastyics" (gymnastics).

Some rules for being the youngest: Don't go in their room without permission and don't try on their new training bra's in front of guests that come over or they will chase you and try to hit me, I mean you.

My mom and me listen to your mom sing on her dvd and she sings pretty. I mean your mom sings pretty, not my mom. I sing pretty though. I hope you like to sing. You can be like Hannah Montana.

Taylor can't say anything because she's asleep still and I'm waiting for her to wake up. Hurry up babygirl D. I hope you have lots of hair for pretty hair bows.

Love Syd-Did (twin #2) and the youngest of my 3 other sisters.

And So She Says...

2008-04-16T21:09:00.001-04:00

A conversation between a baby girl twin & her mom:

"Mom, did you know that allllll Mommies smell?"

"hmmmm honey, what do other Mommies smell like?"

"Well, there's a mom at school that helps in class and she smells like cough candy (cough drops... duh) and Scott says his mom smells like plug-in's."

Almost scared to ask for fear of the answer I bravely charted into the unknown... "So what do I smell like?"

"Oh, you smell like love."

"Love? What does that smell like?"

"Love smells like perfume, kisses, candles and clean laundry all mixed up together."

And so she says...

Girls don't poop!

30-Something Girl's Birthday

2008-03-27T21:13:00.007-04:00

Well, my birthday has arrived, and yes... I am still 30-something.

I love my birthday. It seems to last for a week! I love going to work knowing that my career capsule (aka cube) will be totally trashed with confettii, balloons, gifts, shredded paper.

I love that we have a tradition in my family that everyone calls and sings various versions of "Happy Birthday" on my voice mail. I love listening to 20 songs - all completely different. I love the flowers I know I will get from my boss and I love the precious gifts my kids make me. I love my special homemade rum cake Mimi makes just for me. Not only do I love my birthday, but I love to do the same to everyone I know on their birthday.

Birthday's rock! It's the one day I can wear my birthday pin "What part of princess don't you understand."

Here are a few pics from my most wonderful day... I am so sad it's over already.

My Bracket... Lookin good!

Tornados Rip Through Atlanta

2008-03-17T19:51:00.013-04:00

No warning whatsoever... I have been in Atlanta my entire life and I can't remember ever hearing about tornadoes hitting downtown. We have tornadoes all the time, but never in the heart of the city. The first picture is a utility pole dangling over Edgewood Avenue...

Here is a video of the actual tornado that ripped through Atlanta Saturday followed by coverage after the storm.
