Busy Busy Busy

All of a sudden for some reason I just feel soooo busy! I went out last weekend all weekend practically and the same goes for this weekend. Last Friday I went out to eat with a few of my friends, which I don’t need to be eating out so much I swear at my job I have so much food piled up in the fridge from take out places it’s not even funny. Then on Saturday I went to the Zoo with my grandparents and my little sister Baylie. We walked a lot I didn’t realize how big the zoo in New Orleans actually was. I remember going as a child whenever we’d visit from Jersey, but I guess over the years they just kept adding stuff and man it was torture. I had my SLR camera with me and just having it around my neck and everything it was just miserable. Also wearing flip-flops is not ideal I am sticking to my Converse from now on. No more just hurrying and sliding on sandals I will take the extra time out to tie a few shoe laces. Than Sunday we did the usual go to 11 o’clock mass and it was kind of the only day I really got to relax and I need to learn to relax more. My doctor actually says he believes stress may be a factor in triggering my seizures so I need to find things to relieve my stress. Uh yeah right I am 17 years old there’s no such thing as being “stress free” especially since I just learned in the state of Louisiana I have to be seizure free for at least 6 months and I have to have a doctors note before I can drive again so currently my license is non-existent.  Also if I do decide to drive and I have a seizure behind the wheel and cause an accident…my insurance will not cover it. Awesome right? See that’s stressful right there! Anyways before I start STRESSING myself out I got my boa constrictor today!!!! I did finally decide to get the snow boa. I am one that really appreciates animals (my grandpa is a vet how could I not?) and this has to be one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. My grandma who really doesn’t care for reptiles even mentioned how stunning he was. It was actually really hard coming up with a name and my grandpa wouldn’t help (he was being a butt) so I just named him Noa Boa. Makes sense to me. Anyways tomorrow I am going to the French Quarter with my friend to take some pictures of her and I’m sure I’ll take pictures of other things. I really want to get to St. Louis Cathedral, but being that she’s not very religious I doubt it will happen, but we will see.

Something Amazing

I’m typing this on my iPod so bear with me. Lots of exciting things happened today. My little “sisters” were born which is bittersweet in the sense that we’re adopting them. Their mother wants nothing to do with them and she actually just up and walked out of the hospital just leaving them there. My grandma is with them now and despite the amount of drugs their mother ingested into her system they’re both healthy for the most part. Harper is the biggest weighing in at 5 lbs. 14 oz. and Emma is 5 lbs. even, but she’s having some trouble breathing so she’s in the N.I.C.U. They should me coming home in a few days. Technically they’re my adopted nieces but who cares. After I finished visiting I went home and there was a message on the answering machine from my friend asking if I could shoot some pictures of her this weekend in the French Quarter. I’m super stoked that she liked my photography enough that she’d personally call to ask. Right now I shoot with a Canon Rebel XT which is not top of the line but I love it. Speaking of love have I mentioned Cerena? Ah she’s just wonderful and I don’t think I’ve ever liked someone as much as her. She gives me butterflies. Today was just perfect to sum it up. I’m absolutely loving life today!
