There's something in my personality that drives my husband nuts.
I'm a terrible decision maker.
I'll go to the MAC counter, determined to buy a new eyeshadow, stand there staring at them all for about 20 minutes, and walk away empty-handed because I can't decide on the right one. And I'm too afraid of picking the wrong one.
When I worked at a makeup counter, I was notorious for this. The MAC girls would see me coming, and laugh. Inevitably, if I was able to make a decision, it would turn out that I already had the exact color same color at home. It's hopeless.
All that to say I almost had a heart attack today. If deciding on a $13 returnable eyeshadow is tough enough for me, imagine registering for a rather expensive seminar and leaving a $1,000 non-refundable deposit. Josh was telling me about a show he watched this weekend where people were trying to test how high your heart rate can go. For this test, they had a guy in front of a machine that lobs tennis balls at you. You can imagine where they were aiming the balls to hit (no pun intended..) What does that have to do with this? I really couldn't tell ya. However, my heart rate was up, and my palms were all sweaty... But I did it. I registered for Learnfest and I'm so excited!
What is Learnfest? Possibly the most amazing seminar available this year, with four of the best photographers on my list. It's located on Bald Head Island off the coast of North Carolina, in an amazing beach house right on the coast. In-depth sessions on everything you can possibly think of, with classes of no more than 15 people. Pair that with a few extra days of either side, antique shopping, clam chowder, and shooting galore, and I think it will be the highlight of my year. Thanks, Jen, for talking me into going with you! Now I just need to bring my blood pressure back down!
