I can finally drive again ~ 6week post op visit today!

6 Week Post-Op

I can finally DRIVE!  Im so excited about this, but I still have a long while before I can start working out!

So SAD  :(

Here is my new Photoshop Picture of the day

It's called
Film Strip
DUH!!! (with reflection and a lil' wave to it)It needs some work on it, but I will get there! I can't get the blur out of it!

What a day!

Stressful is to say the least

~Started with  Dj's car having a parking ticket on his windshield this morning in the while it was parked in our cul-de-sac.  He has been parking there for over a year.  This past weekend he was confronted by one of our neighbors about parking his car there, she was kinda rude about it too.  So we are assuming that she was the cause of the ticket.

~I had a visit from my brother around lunch time, he was on his motorcycle,  you probably know where this is going.  Well lets just say we again 'interupted' someones nap time with the noise of the motorcycle and the police were called again!  People really need to get a life!  BUT I think this will be the last of it!  Thanks to my husband and the wonderful police officer!  

~Now I have a horrible splitting head ache from the stress of this day, and the nervous break down this made me have.  This is where a good workout or run would come in, if I COULD! 

~I going to the doctors tomorrow for my 6 week check up, I can't believe that I have not worked out in 6 WEEKS!  OMG!  I hoping he clears me to drive, that would be a real treat for me my husband and my dear brothers!  

Any way this is what I taught myself tonight in photoshop,

 I think I will call this 

'Hmmmmm some fun cool text'

This was taken at OCM this past summer!
GOOD TIME!!!

Fairytale!

This is suppose to look fairy tale-ish!

Gina wanted me to get rid of the big dress look,

 so this is what we came up with!

What do you think?

MULTIPLICITY

4 weeks, and I'm still not able to drive!!!!!

Four weeks after my surgery!

I'm still unable to drive, and the PT and Doctor still has not given me a straight answer why!  I'm still waiting, and not driving for the simple fact that if I would get into an accident, I could get in a ton of trouble.  STUPID!!  I don't understand,  this is a horrible joke to me!  

I am going crazy not being able to workout, and not being able to get up and go when I want.  I am so depressed, because of all the hard work I put into working out is leaving my body!  I have probably lost all of my muscle strength in my upper body, I know for a fact that my abs are completely soft, not saying that I had abs of steel, but I did have a little muscle.  I have gained 8 lbs, that is so depressing!  It is going to take me a year to get that crap back off of my body, only 4 weeks to put on, but a friggin year to get back off!
I can't wait to get back to my normal routine!  


Here is something I found today, this is so me with how I feel about my photography! 

I can't wait to be able to go out and drive somewhere and get some awesome shots!   


Good night,
Work hard on everything you want to do, and be what you want to be!  

  

A little sunshine and clouds

Trying to make clouds work.

What do you think?

The clouds like a little fake.   I have to work on them a little bit.

~~Cartoon drawings~~

~Cartooning~

Is this even a word?

I'm using Gina pictures of course, I think these turned out kinda cool!

What do you think?  This was another easy one!

Love this!

I think this is one of my favorite of myself!

The after picture of course!
The original was taken in a visor mirror in my car.

I wish my skin looked like that all the time!
Ugh look how blotchy I am!
That is a true sign of aging!  LOL!!!

Look for more tomorrow!!

Starting Again!

Starting again over!


Wow,  it has been way to long for me to neglect my BLOG and other things!

I would like to start again over!

I have been so down on myself. It has been so difficult not being able to work-out, or even go out!  It has been very lonley, quite at my house during the day!
(Which you would think is a good thing, but not so much anymore)

NOW I have been diagnosed with Bursitis in both shoulders, and possibly in left hip that I hurt again today while cleaning!  
SERIOUSLY!


4 WEEKS NO DRIVING!  
SERIOUSLY!

My kids are being jerks!  Yes I called them BOTH JERKS!!!!

To everyone that said they would come and visit me, thanks for the thought!

Hmmmmm!

NO COMMENT ON THAT ONE!

SO, I have decided to do a few things for myself!


Lets call them-
~IMPROVEMENTS~


Most important thing is;
Love my family more, especially my kids and husband!

1. Be happier;  no crying anymore at the stupid things in life, like not having friends!  Who cares anyway!
2. Get stronger;  Emotionally and physically! 
3.  Motivation;  I need more espically at this time, I'm losing my MOJO!  
4. Stop complaining;  My life is pretty darn good!  I don't have everything I want, but what I have is good enough!
5. Live life to the fullest;  I need to start doing that!  Where do I want to vacation this year, hmmmm!  Hawaii, another Cruise, and an awesome Family Vacation with all of my love ones!  I will make them all happen!
6. What I love, my passions;                                                                ~Cyndie DeLucia PHOTOGRPAHY, I have my Photography business, and I want it to explode!  I will make it happen!  No more excuses, this is mine and all mine!                                                                             ~Running and working out:  I will get there again, and make it good!  I miss it SO much, it is really driving me crazy to just sit here!  

So my new Blog is going to start now

I want to show off my Photoshop talent!

I am still "somewhat" learning and improving.

I try to give myself 1 hour , make that 30min a day to practice, which rarely happens.

But starting now I have to try to give myself at least 1hour a day so I can start posting before and afters.

This will definitely give me my MOJO back!

Here is a really cool before and after,

it's called BOKEH!

Final result!  Kinda cool!

This was an easy one!
The next one will be a little bit more challenging

Wow! I have not posted in a long time!

Well I guess this means that I'm not doing the 365 blog again.

This will just be a whenever / whatever blog!

This has been an emotional 12 days for me.  I'm not sure where to even start.  I guess we all have these emotional roller-coasters!  

I'm still Marathon Training, I still love to train, and run of course,  

I still love my family, 

I still love Photography,

Work is....... OK I guess!

Why am I in a major FUNK?????

I cry almost every night,

I'm feel like horrible mother

my kids don't like me,

(at least they act like it)

I feel like I'm driving my husband to go grey!

Why, why, why!!

I'm hurting in more ways then one,

Life is going by way to fast,

I feel like I am missing out on so much,

My baby is 14, and my boy is 20!

OMG!!!

I have to have ANOTHER surgery on my HIP!

I want to be a better person,

I want to talk to my kids more,

 (they never want to talk)

they are to busy with other things!

All I'm asking is to sit down and have a conversation with them 

 and maybe get a family picture or two!

(OK, that may be the reason why they are ignoring me)

I want my Photography business to start picking up

I love photography!

I need people to practice,

Anyone!

I need a friend,

not a relative

a friend that will call just to say HI!

I don't have any friends, 

and that is really sad,

It makes me cry

Every night I go to bed

I think to myself,

WHY!

Why, don't I have a FRIEND!

I do try, well I think I try!

I NEED A BEST FRIEND!

I have my mom

yes,

she is my best friend

I have my brothers,

yes,

...but they are BOYS!

I have my husband

yes,

.... but.....

I have my kids,

..well you know where that is going

The dog,

That is a MAN's best friend!

she doesn't count!!!

I JUST WANT A FRIEND,

SOMEONE THAT WILL CALL ME JUST TO SAY

HI!!!

 I had to post a picture!

These are my friendly shoes, that love to make me 

RUN!!!

Good night!

Loving it! 

So far so good! 

Today we had a 2-a-day,

First was a WOD called

'FRAN'

Pullups

Thrusters 65#

(it is a 65# bar, that you lift over your head, and then squat it)

Clean and Jerks

(same movements, but minus the squat, and always start from the floor)

  My time was 

10:20

...and that sucks

Then we had to do a Treadmill Ladder workout

200m run, rest 200m time

400m run, rest 400m time

600m run, rest 600m time

400m run, rest 400m time

200m run, rest 200m time

My times were:

200m 52.7sec

400m 1min46sec

600m 2min33sec

400m 57.1sec

200m 46.3sec
