EPIC FAIL!

Wah, wah, wah...............So I told you the other day that the Moody Teen had his final concerts of his High School career and I was all set to be the doting mom with camera (and Diva) in tow.  I got to the school, found my seat and proceeded to get my gear ready for some marathon picture taking of my Senior in all his glory (1 vocal solo, 1 vocal duet and 4 trumpet solos) when my heart dropped out of my chest and hit the floor with a palpable thud!  I had my camera, my 2 favorites lenses, a flash and extra batteries but not 1 memory card!  The concert was starting in 10 minutes and there was no time to run home!  Wow, I cannot believe I did this, but I did!  To top it all off, I didn't even have my point and shoot that I carry in my purse because I just tossed my wallet into my camera bag and took off. 

Let's recap:  No memory cards, no point and shoot, now what?  My trusty iPhone4!  Yup, that's all I had to capture this moment that would soon be history!  I cried my was through the first couple of songs and then realized that there was nothing I could do but enjoy the night and try not to beat myself up for being an epic failure!  I did manage to get one song on video using my phone so that helped a little!  When I told the Moody Teen what I had done, he just laughed!  I was relieved that he didn't seem to mind my failure. 

Lesson learned!  I ordered 4 more memory cards to carry in my bag for back up of my back ups!

Help A Girl Out

Hey all!  My friend, Junie, just started a blog so everyone can follow her amazing motorcycle ride that will cover 10,000 + miles!  She is amazing and a cancer survivor!  Go Junie!!!  Her blog was just created today so she has not really posted and I am trying to help her raise awareness for this ride and for the causes that she will support with the monies raised on the trip!  Good Day for a Ride is her blog, please follow her and pass her along to your readers too!  Love ya all!!

Wait For It..........

That's what I tell everyone who visits Illinois because you will like the weather at some point in time!  Yesterday was sunny and 82, today is rainy and 60.  I prefer yesterday to today but that is OK because I know it will change again soon!  LOL!

While we are on the subject of waiting, it seems like that is all I do these days!  Wait to pick up kids, wait for appointments, wait for this, wait for that!  It's pretty funny since I really do hate to wait for anything!  I have always been an instant gratification kind of girl but over the years I have, reluctantly, learned to be still and wait.  Try explaining that to a very active Diva who wants the world handed to her in HER time frame!  It can be quite trying at times.

Well, since it is raining I guess I will do housework until I go to the Moody Teens FINAL (sob, sob) band concert!  I know I will cry when he performs his solos.  I cannot believe the end and his new beginning are so near even though I have been waiting for this moment forever!  Back to the waiting!
