Plan- Bread is really cheap. Lunch meat. Sandwiches for lunch.

Salads a couple of days. Soups, pasta, hamburger, etc. I think I can do it!!!

Money and photos

I know I've put out my money issues for all to see, but I don't care. I don't have the money to get my car fixed!! Argh. I also have to come up with money to pay for school! I did start my part time job on Sunday, but I need money sooner than that. I am thinking of trying to sell my yard sale items I've been saving on Craigslist. Has anyone had any luck with that? I may even ask my dad if he has anything he needs to sell. He is always complaining that he has no room for anything.

I did my photoshoot last night. It went well. I was mortified at one point because I thought I saw a tick and freaked out. I accidentally flashed the photographer. Eeek. How embarrassing. I think he was even more embarrassed. I decided against lingerie, though I do have a series of shots wearing an old fashioned nightgown. It really is kind of neat, and looks more like a formal floor length gown.

My shots were pretty PG-rated with a little sexiness thrown in, which I'm happy with. My theory is that if my dad would be uncomfortable seeing them, I don't want to do them. What if I would look for a job, and they would come across the pics?

Needless to say, I am pretty darn proud of myself. I did a bikini shoot and wasn't that uncomfortable. I also had to walk through knee-high grass barefoot. I have a horrid phobia of ticks! I did it though, and I didn't complain. No ticks either!
