Did you guys ever hear Mrs. Miller? Now I can't get her version of that song out of my head!
I have lots of progress to report for this last week. First of all, I had a 2nd interview for a potential job today and a 3rd scheduled for Thursday. It would be basically doing the same as I was doing before, but working from home 4 days a week (and commuting to La Jolla 1 day). AND I would make about $7,000 a year more. Stoked! I love the idea of working from home because I think it would give me more flexibility to continue to pursue my passions of photography and sitting on the couch with Davey Pickle curled on my lap.
Secondly, I taught myself enough of Photoshop this week to re-brand the website! I think it is SO MUCH MORE ME! I liked the white one, but not totally and I didn't think it represented my personality at all. I also learned a lot about myself because I was asking friends and family how they viewed me and my photography.
I was planning on going with a very earthy, "rainy day spent under a tattered quilt" organic look for the blog but ended up with something a little more "Mexican beach on a rainy day" look. Which is funny because I wasn't planning on that look, but my house is decorated way more like that and it came naturally so I trust that it is my personality.
I also learned how to get rid of the "undefined undefined" thing that was on every post. Huzzah!
This is probably a really boring post to anyone whose not me.
I couldn't find Mrs. Miller's "Monday, Monday" on Youtube, but here's "Act Naturally" to liven up this post.
Happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteno no no! not boring! it's nice to have a different perspective on creative enterprises than just writing. i'd love to be a photographer, but am not, so i like hearing about your endeavor! :) i LOVE your new blog. way better than white, i'd say.
ReplyDeleteis that YOU singing, masquerading as some short old lady? that's you, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteRemember that one time freshman year when I was trying to learn guitar and I sang "Overwhelmed" to you and it was horrible and you laughed at me then said you liked it. I'm better now, thanks to Karaoke Fridays. My signature songs are "He's a Tramp" from Lady and the Tramp and "Goodbye to Love" from The Carpenters.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. That lady has seriously put out records? Never heard of her, but I guess she's inspiration for all those aspiring recording artists who are not quite mainstream...?
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your post :) Thanks for making me laugh! I'm going to go find that link to your website again!!
ReplyDeleteP.P.S. Your blog looks awesome, and so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI just peeked through your portfolio, too, and it was amazing! You are an excellent photographer, Nicole!!!
Though... Tasha... I felt a little strange about your romantic poses with Eames :) Ha! But they were definitely beautiful!
Thanks Mallie! If it makes you feel better, Tash and Eames drew the line at kissing ;o)
ReplyDeleteHa Ha... well, I'm glad for that.
ReplyDeletehe did call me "babe" in his last email though. do you think i should read into that?
ReplyDeleteyes tasha, you should very much read into that.
ReplyDeleteUH NICOLE thank you for introducing me to mrs miller!! what? why do we not hang out on a regular basis? that is the question that immediately came to mind when i heard her then raced over to wikipedia to read about her.
