It seems like they just went up . . . I hate it when you mail something and then you find out you don’t have enough postage and then you have to go get 1 cent stamps . . . arg 😡

Saturday shoot canceled – rain in the evening around 5pm.

I steam cleaned the rugs with my new Bissell rug steam cleaner I got Saturday morning, which took a while to do, but it was fun – though I’m sure the novelty will wear off eventually, but it does an awesome job and it looks like we have a new rug!

Happy Mother’s day to all you mothers out there! We had breakfast with my parents and lunch with Gary’s parents today which was nice . . .

This evening I have been working on the photos from the Leaders Building Leaders Event . . . here are a few I really liked:

Back in February I went shooting in downtown Raleigh with Tom and we also shot at NC State . . . I looked at some of the pictures at the time, but then didn’t touch them until today . . .

My baby’s back! I felt lost without my laptop!

Adrienne, Jason and I went to this abandoned warehouse a couple of days ago which was pretty cool . . . abandoned evidently since 1992 . . .

graffiti on the outside of the windows

So no photos to post for a couple of days . . .  my Laptop was getting to the point where it would pretty much freeze and take 10 minutes to log in, even after deleting a bunch of stuff off of it.  So Gary purchased more memory and a bigger hard drive and is re installing everything which takes a while, especially after updates, etc.  Don’t worry, everything had been backed up!

Hopefully I will be up and running by tomorrow or saturday which is good since I have a LOT of stuff to work on and a lot of pix waiting to be looked at sitting on my CF card!

So I’m booking a lot of shoots plus a lot of events going on in my personal life. I’ve added a Shoot Calendar which you can view with the link here on my blog under ‘Sue-Leigh’s Shoot Schedule’ or on my website under ‘Calendar’.

Stay up to date on current and future shoots or use it as a reference for booking or scheduling get-togethers for dinner!

Note that it is only a guide and I will try to update it often. Not all unscheduled times are available.

Call me to finalize a day and time!

Thursday night a couple of friends and I went to a fashion show/wine tasting at ess lounge, and the money that was rasied benefited the Children’s House of Raleigh . . .

and there were break dancers in between runs which was pretty cool

Wednesday night was the Leaders Building Leaders Event with the College of Management’s EEI at NC State . . . there was a good turnout, and interesting business plans.

And the Sweet Reminder boxes of cookies are always a big hit!

I wanted to try a painted water colour effect to this photo I shot, and I like okay, but I don’t think pictures that look like paintings are my thing . . .
