So my site was down for a day. Not sure what happened as I never got a reply to my email I sent to the webmaster. Either way I really just need to get my site transferred over to 1and1.com but I've just been dragging my feet to get it done. I know my site will be down for a bit and I'd have to upload the entire thing to the new server and that's not an easy task... My site is quite extensive with all the pictures I post.
My last entry I mentioned posting a couple of the random pictures I've taken recently... Here they are
Odd perspective of my nephew Bailey in my back seat

Just a pretty view on my lunch walk in Ontario
Just liked the sign
Closeup
3 faves - lines, texture and perspective (the coloring is cool too)
I had a fantastic time in Santa Monica with my friends Andie, Rachel and Tom! I really needed it! I got away from the every day drama. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! And there was nothing in particular that happened to make it special but it was a memorable day.
Here are a few of my favorite pics...

Rach and I got on the subject of how amazing love actually is, that people can truly love you, even with all your faults. I think lately I’ve seen a lot of relationships that aren’t based on love but rather convenience or a need. I admire Rachel's marriage. It's had its rough times but it's only gotten stronger because they chose to make it work. And looking at their relationship now, it was so worth making that effort! So many people think love is only a feeling but it's also a decision!
I find it fascinating to see the different dynamics that cause people to be drawn to one another. Sure physical attraction is involved but there is so much more! I’ve always enjoyed hearing how people get together. In my recent dating history I've met a lot of different personalities and realized some traits I don't think I could live with, and some traits that I really admire and am drawn to. One being: independence. It really bothers me when a guy can't be alone for any length of time. Possibly because I am fairly independent myself and would hope to find someone that I could spend time with but also have my independence. A needy guy just wouldn't do that. Also I tend to view a guy who can’t be alone as someone who doesn’t know who he truly is, and requires a relationship to define him. I say this referring to guys but it works both ways, I feel the same about women that can’t be alone. Yet there are some guys I've talked to that really like a girl to be a little needy and dependent. I’m not saying I don’t have my needy moments. Insecurities bring out the worst kind of neediness in me. But with some of the serious self evaluation I’ve done over the last year and a half, I’ve come to realize quite a bit about myself and truly feel that my next relationship will be nothing like the others because of the changes deep inside.
I know I’m beautiful. Sure, my body isn’t what I would like it to be, but it’s not like I’m not doing anything to change that. I’ve come to appreciate what I look like. It took a long time to get over the seriously warped view I had of myself in high school. I still sometimes see that ugly reflection when I look in the mirror. It’s surprising how blind we can be to our own beauty.
Anyways, it's late... Goodnight
