Week 3 in 52 weeks of ME project - self portrait

This past week has been quite busy with setting Aaron up for his first day of High School tomorrow.  
Uniforms, shoes, books, haircut, food etc.
He's all set now!
It's exciting to see him reach another milestone in his life.
He's very nervous, poor thing, but I'm sure he'll be okay.

We've been putting up with constant modem drop-outs when online over the past year or so.  Over that time, it meant many conversations with our internet service provider technicians.  Our phone line was tested and retested.  Then, as the problem worsened recently, we worked through a process of elimination with various PC equipment.  Finally the modem was pinpointed as being the culprit. So I bought a new one today and we're in heaven again. NO drop-outs...YAY!

I almost forget the weekly self-portrait again this week so I had a quick photo session in my room this afternoon.
Week 3 - 52 Weeks of Me 2012 project

With Aaron back at school this week, I may be able to settle back into a daily routine which I hope will involve lots of time for art.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend...
ours is just about over being late Sunday night.

~ Love, light and peace ~

    I think your self portrait is wonderful.
    So glad the modem problem is solved. I really miss my computer when it is not working.

    So strange that this is the beginning of the school year for Aaron. Zack won't start 9th grade until September. Our second semester of school started now so Yusef, who is in 11th, will have some class changes for the rest of the year. Hope you find time this week for art. wishing you all the best, Tammy

    Modem problems can be such a pain. We went through much the same thing about a year ago. I'm glad you're back to normal with it.

    You always do such interesting self-portraits. You look very dreamy in this one.

    wow, your last one, your baby is in high school. I don't know about you but I loved it when my fourth one entered high school and I was done with elementary grade stuff.

    Nice photo.

    Hi Serena,
    How are you doing my friend?
    Are you feeling better?
    Love your new photo. Your hair seems to be getting shorter and shorter! Did you cut it again?
    You look fabulous!
    Hugs

    I'm glad you figured out the computer problems. Whoohoo!
    Aaron will be off to high school--tada! And you will have your days to maybe play with some art or whatever you want. Even nap if you need it. ;)
    What a beautiful picture of you!!
    I hope you are feeling okay.

    LOVELY to see you, Serena--lovely portrait of you. :o) Best wishes to your Aaron in high school this year. Great news your pc issues are sorted... It's funny how dependent, and sometimes addicted, we become on being connected. ;o) Look forward to seeing more art & creations from you soon. Happy Days ((HUGS))

    What a beautiful photo of you Serena!! i love the softness of it & the bold colours around you.
    And Aaron's first day of high school... he's gonna feel so much more grown up after the day is done, and you're gonna feel so proud. :-)
    hugs to you,

    I hope your modem problem settles down; it could be something to do with increased solar flares at the moment.
    In the north we have a bettter chance of seeing the aurora...it has been reported we should expect electrical problems. Just thought it might explain your problem.
    Take care!

    Great post, Mum!

    I'm so happy we have no more drop-outs anymore now that you got the new modem! I love the self-portrait pic, it really does look quite nice! I can't believe Aaron is in High School this year! As long as he's happy, that's great!

    Love Brad!

    Thats good you got it figured out. I always get so annoyed when the internet doesn't work as it should. We have a router that we constantly have to "restart". It only does it like once a week though so its liveable. :) Great Sp
