A Day in the Life (better known as TMI)

As photographers we are rarely photographed…we’re the ones  carrying the camera and documenting family birthday parties and special events but nobody ever thinks to invite me to “say cheese”.  So the other day I thought who better to do a short documentation of my typical day than me, myself and I.  Using my wonderful Fuji EXR550 (point and shoot) I began my day, camera in hand.

The prerequisite wake-up shower and the wearing of the 2000 lb. bathrobe helps me get started.  The warm shower erases lines on my face and lifting the robe and struggling to get it on is my exercise for the day.

However, the wonderful effects of the shower on my face only lasts a few minutes!  There is magic to be done each day before facing the world.

First the lotions on the face..this must be done or else the face will crack and look like the rest of me and  sunblock is the law we all must follow or we end up looking like the cheap fake crocodile belt that came with the expensive pants I just purchased.

So far almost an hour has gone by and I’m nowhere near finished.  The hair must not be allowed to dry by itself or else I will bear a close resemblance to a Barbie doll I once never had and didn’t want either.  So out comes an appliance that is a pain because the cord is all curled up and in straightening it out I knock over make-up brushes and other such things waiting in line to be used.

Now we’re getting closer to the home plate but still  I’m not quite finished – I still have a few contraptions to use on my eyes in order to be brave enough to open that door and face the dogs (they tend to be a tad critical especially before their breakfast).

Finally with toothbrush in hand I will clean their Royal Highnesses (I call them that because they are worth a small fortune….don’t ask – it’s a long and boring tale)

Finally!  And now for my favourite part of the day…..breafast.  Raisin toast, a latte and reading the paper.

I’m going out soon so I must print some pics of my granddaughter to proudly show to everyone in the world (but as usual I will forget and leave them at home).

And speaking of granddaughters this is a day that I am babysitting…well that is, myself and Bunny Bunny are sharing the duties.

We end the day at the local gelato shoppe – Hotel Gelato sounds a bit presumptuous but it’s a really friendly place with good lip smacking snacking stuff.

Uncle David drops by to see his favourite niece…

Well that’s it…part of a day in my life.  Some will say “who cares?” and others may say “I want to be her!” – I say maybe too much information but there aren’t too many pictures of me so this is my way of paying back.
