Sunday, November 4

A few quick notes:

1)Good weekend, got some things accomplished, got to spend some time with Morgann and both my moms, AND got my desk cleaned off for the most part. All good.

2)Church was good tonight. I'm really starting to feel comfortable with the band and feel like I have a place in it.

4)Nice note from Morgann on my hostess card at the Mary Kay party today. Very sweet.

Good day.

And to be completely honest, I do like looking at pictures of myself as the skinny young thing I was once upon a time.

It's a fine camera and easy to use, but I'm not very methodical about what and how I do things. I often don't remember what settings I use, so it's difficult for me to successfully edit my photos la...
