I've spent a considerable amount of time over the last week or so in meetings, training and on conference calls. It is official. I am bored. Real work would be a welcome change. *sigh*
On Saturday Meredith and I went to Shelby's funeral. It was, of course, a very sad affair but it was very moving to hear the friends and family that spoke about Shelby. Her step-sister in particular was eloquent and showcased the spirit that Shelby had. I came away feeling that, while it is certainly tragic that her life was so short, Shelby had a very good life. She made the most of her life while she was here. She loved and was loved by many, many people. I found that comforting.
James got a notice that he had an outstanding parking ticket and got very angry. Initially he thought they had just entered the ticket incorrectly because he had a receipt from when he paid it and the ticket number listed was one number off from the notice he received. As it turns out, he actually was issued two tickets at the same time but he only had one on his car when he got back to it that day. The perplexing thing is that one ticket is for an expired meter and the other is for parking in an improper location. If he had a meter, doesn't that indicate that it was in fact a legitimate parking space? He argued with the clerk about this for awhile but the most they would do is remove the late fees.
I have not been very inspired to write lately. I have the next chapter of Anniversary outlined but I can't seem to get it typed up. I have several other WIPs that I need to work on too. Lately I just haven't felt like it.
I have played with Photoshop a lot lately. I don't have the professional Photoshop, just PS Elements 4.0, but given my skill level that is sufficient for now. My latest creations have been for Meredith. I've made a couple of photos of her with Jeremy Sumpter. She has a huge crush on him. If you aren't familiar with him, Jeremy Sumpter played Peter Pan in the 2003 version with Jason Isaacs as Capt. Hook/Mr. Darling. He's a cute kid.
