Feb. 16th, 2011 01:13 pmTonight's the studio-warming party, and I feel vaguely overwhelmed and unprepared--especially seeing as it's 90% clients and industry people, rather than a crowd of my super-best-friends--but it should be fun, once we really get into it. I'm also rolling out my second revision of the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bacon Cookies for the party, and oh my GOD, I think I've really done it this time. The texture of this batch is godly.
I'll be doing one more batch to verify the recipe, but once I have, you can bet I'll be blogging it. Bwahaha.
Outside of that, sleep has been fleeting, and I'm feeling fairly lethargic. I have a mild strain in one of my hamstrings, which is irritating, but not as bad as whatever's going on with my right foot/ankle: it's been cranky and tender for the past two weeks, but there's no appearance of bruising or swelling... I'm not certain what's up with that, but it's worrisome. Of course, now that I've been doing *two* sports regularly, I have no idea when it happened or how, so I'm largely clueless as to what it could be, but I'm doing my best to take it easy, and avoid aggravating it.
Fortunately, I think I'm close to a point where I can get some weighty issues out of the way, and start doing something about my bedraggled physical and emotional state. I've been saying that for weeks, and then doing nothing about it, and I'm tired of spinning my wheels.
On a completely unrelated note, I shot this a week or two ago, and I'm pretty pleased with the images we got from the session. I haven't done a great deal of product shooting yet, and I think it's actually more of a challenge for me, because I love the energy of shooting with people. And, well, lighting small objects like jewelry in interesting ways is not the simplest task. But hey, not a bad effort, and we had a pretty spectacular team doing photoshoot styling and bringing in awesome floral arrangements.
