Amanda Grell: Holy Crapola Batman!!

Holy Crapola Batman!!

Posted in | at 9:02 PM

Forgive me!! I shame you all for not being as active on here as I’d like!! But a CRAPLOAD of stuff has happened to me in the past 3-4 months!! Still dating my wonderful guy John! However, apart from me being in my lovey-dovey happy bubble, I’ve gotten a new tattoo, moved out of my parents house and into my very own apartment with my bro and John, lost some weight, still white as can be, and have been attending mucho grad parties/flyers parties/reunions. Crazy busy. But I still have the headache of unpacking some boxes (of stuff that I don’t even know WHERE to put!!)

My new tattoo on my left forearm. The text is "I regret nothing" in French, my fave song by Edith Piaf.

The only thing I haven’t been really busy with is my photography. :) Which I’m extremely sad about, but it doesn’t help that I don’t have photoshop anymore (since I got a new computer) and that my printer/scanner isn’t compatible with my Mac, not to mention that it doesn’t scan film negatives. And I really don’t have the money to just go and buy whatever anymore.

In the beginning of the month I had scheduled vacation time. The fam and I drove down to Nashville, Tennessee for a family reunion (John wasn't able to go since he was in his best friend's wedding). It was great seeing everyone, even went to an exhibit with my mom to see one of my favorite modern artists, Dale Chihuly and his glasswork. Such an amazing place to view his work. It was at the Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. So this place had me clicking away with some very potential photographs. :)

Anyway, other than all of that, pretty much my life has been basic. Filled with the usual… Work, pay bills, eat, sleep, hang with my man, see the family, hang with my lovely ladies. Just enjoying life as much as possible with the little amount of money I have.

This past weekend, I worked on some earrings. It was great working with my hands again! I've missed it.
