DREAMIN MY LIFE AWAY

So I have always had the dream of selling my photography.  I have talked about it for I don't even know how long. I have some great photos I have taken that people tell me they love, or want, or I should frame.

I always had a little fear of.....rejection I guess.  I mean what if I spend the money to frame them and pay the money to set up a booth and set there for three days and don't sell even one.

Well I guess that would be worst case scenario right?  So they say think of the worst case and even though you may not like it can you live with it?  Well I guess I would have to, right?

I decided after I moved back to MO in August 2010 that I could be ready the following September 2011 to set up a booth.  Every year the city where I live has an Oktoberfest the last weekend of September (I know Oktoberfest in September but I don't make the rules) and they have all types of craft booths, games, music, rides, etc.

So I am going to do it.  I am going to shell out the money for the booth & to frame my photography and pray I at least come out even. :) I guess you never know until you try.  There are also some coffee shops around that carry people art or photography on their wall for people to buy.  I don't think the sales are big, but at least it would be out there I guess.

I haven't decided what I want to call my photography yet.....I thought about Far From Perfect Photography....but in The Sisters of the Perpetual Saturday my nickname is Boogie Butterfly.....so I've thought about Boogie Butterfly Photography. I've just doodle around with it:

So I am excited and nervous and excited and nervous and......well you get the point, right? 

So if you're in Missouri in September come and buy something and 
keep my dream alive..............

ADJUSTING

I know I have been neglecting you blog.  I miss you so......
I have been trying to adjust to my new work schedule & still getting settled with this new life. Adjusting to a life change may have not hit me right off the bat, but I knew it would roll in eventually and would make me snap........so............SNAP.  

Please be patient with me oh dear blog. We have been through so much together & I know you will understand oh bloggy-pooh.
I promise to update you & get back on schedule & keep you blogging like you love so much.
Yours Truly,
Far From Perfect

THE NEW ADVENTURES OF FAR FROM PERFECT

Today is the day I start my new career adventure. I am excited as a kid in a candy store and scared as toddler starting preschool.
Words of wisdom from Monkey Boy: "The only person thinking about you being a new hire or that even cares you are a new hire is you."
It's true though. People always go into a new job thinking everyone is looking at them but in reality when you work somewhere where there is a new hire you pretty much just say "nice to meet you" and get back to your job.
I won't really see the ins and outs of everything today. Today is a entire day or orientation.
I'm ready to start this new adventure and hope to the excitement out weighs the fear and honestly just hope to totally KICK ASS at it.
It is the perfect opportunity for my personality, my style.....just perfect for me, and the fear comes from not wanting to screw up. The excitement is just overwhelming and I have so many ideas to bring to this facility I can't wait to share them.
Welcome to the New Adventures of Far From Perfect....Activities Director!

A NEW BEGINNING

(picture taken by Far From Perfect)
So I guess this is my some forced upon me, some done by stupid accidents and some choices time to be made. I'm not new to blogging for those of you who have happened upon this blog by accident and are seeing this as my first post. I have blogging for years and years and....yes years. But because things have been insane and stressful and mad lately I stupidly and accidently deleted my old blog. I'm so sad about it. I know it sounds dumb, but that was like my life written in there between fashion and recipes was bits and pieces of my life that I hoped my kids could read someday when I'm dead or old and senile. I am so beyond mad at myself for being so mindless for a brief moment.

But moving on I suppose........

There are many other changes coming my way. Some of them long time coming some of them active decisions that I needed and wanted to make. Some of them for the sake of privacy I don't want to talk about yet and some I'm ready to run into screaming.

One of the more happy exciting ones is my newly and improved resume that is ready to be sent out to this AWESOME job that I am totally banking on and hoping not to be let down. Right now I'm working as a Legal Assistant suppose to be part time, but as any part timer out there knows you always get guilted into pretty much working full time. But I have recently come across this amazing oppurtunity that I SO SO want and if I don't get it I will be sad. Will let you know how that goes.

Other changes going on are sad and scary and life changing and will be discussed at a later date.

Right now we are getting ready for school to start and getting ready to travel back to MO to visit the family and friends we left behind a year and a half ago.

If you are just stumbling across this blog it will be filled with what I'm reading, what I'm cooking, what music I've come across, what I'm doing, what I'm not doing, what I'm b*tching about, crafts projects I'm doing, photos I've taken, photos I've found and love, fashion I like or great finds I've found, magazine article I love, celebrity gossiping, family gossiping, my gratefulness for life, love laughter and l-i-v-i-n, and all the changes I go through along the way. I'm all over here and all over there and always changing my mind and always trying new things. I am in three words FAR FROM PERFECT.
