Retail therapy and "Green Eyed Monster"

I desperately wanted to go to a concert this weekend. My college years consisted of me listening to the Dave Matthews Band. I can remember singing and dancing with friends to their music, snuggling with a certain someone special while listening to a particular song, drinking a margarita at a Veranda with one of my very best friends while DMB serenaded us and me telling her how it would be sooo cool to bring a little one home from China. Along with Dave Matthews Band, Jason Mraz was joining them in concert. Paige and I LOVE Jason Mraz. So, I tried fervently to get tickets to the show, but to no avail, came up short. Feeling sorry for myself I decided some retail therapy was in order. I bought myself a new Coach purse and wallet and am in love! I know, I know, frivolous spending...could be spent on something more important, but you see, I never buy for myself. I am always buying for the little princess in our family. This is my one indulgence!
Here's my pretty purse! I love it so...sadly, I covet it!

As for the rest of my weekend, well I had two photoshoots. One was with my friend's daughter and it went quickly and was a breeze. I caught some really precious images and I cannot wait to share them with her. The other shoot proved to be a bit of a challenge. Last minute a friend of a friend called and asked if I could photograph her FOUR children! YIKES! She was offering to pay quite a bit more than what I charge and I just couldn't pass up the offer, or the challenge. It went really well. I am anxious to edit the images and share them on my photography blog and with the family. The children were so well behaved and were eager to please their bribery clad mommy :)

Paige went to the flea market with my mom and when they got home, she came bolting back to my room and showed me her goodies. I was uploading images and she caught a few of them and quickly said, "Why didn't you take MY picture this weekend?" She then proceeded to grab her loot and say, "I'm going to my room!". I gave her a few minutes and went to check on her. She was looking at some pics that I had taken of her and she said, "I want us to have a photoshoot, just you and me ... k?" You know that I am MORE than happy to oblige!

Funny little girl! She usually detests having to pose for pics. I guess she doesn't want to share her sissy (melt my heart!) Have a great week, friends!
