Some day I'll be over you

There will be a day
When your presence,
Often found seeping through the very core of my being,
Won't cause that deep pang of desire
Or the jittery restlessness
That makes my knees weak when you linger in the air
I spend my days wishing they would find a cure
Or a less toxic form of you
So that I could indulge my desire once again
And surrender to your fiery seduction
Breathe you in
And release you through my pursed lips

Insanity!

Sooooo.... what a week i have had so far.

I started this class at BOCES in between all my other activities - travel, work, home update projects. The class is great. It's called "Photoshop for Photographers". So far two days into it, I have learned SO MUCH - not just about photoshop but about photography as well. It is exactly what i need to get my technical skills more on target and a chance to learn how to process them in Photoshop.

The picture shown here is my cousin's little one. She has stolen my heart! Check out her "Wizard of Oz" ruby red shoes! I plan on putting more pictures up tonight or tomorrow night on my photo blog from the Reunion, so stay tuned.

I am babbling at this point because i am so over-tired from my 31 hour trip to Washington DC and back (that's gate to gate, people and included a 4 hour reception in one of the Senate buildings).

still alive and kicking

Isn't this change of weather awesome? I love the cooler evenings. LOVE THEM!

I am still here but it happens to be the busiest few weeks of the year for me at work. Event after event, phone calls, emails, etc etc etc...starting with an overnight trip next Tuesday to Washington D.C., strolling into October with our annual golf outing and then ending with the Riverhead Country Fair.

Did i mention i start a class next Monday night and that i am heading to a huge family reunion on Saturday all the way in Pennsylvania? How about the fact that i have purchased a space at a Fall festival in my town to promote my photography?

So if i seem a bit quiet...thats why.

By the time Thanksgiving rolls around I will be THOROUGHLY ready for that vacation in Tampa. Wouldn't you say?

Isnt it great? LOL

what i learned at the Rennaisance Fair

1. Never buy a sausage on a stick and expect to be respected.




2. bring wipes - even if your kid is out of diapers and (3) never put chicken fingers (or any food for that matter) on the top of a child's stroller. You never know if he will grab the top and pull everything down onto the ground in front of him.


4. Never tell your girlfriend that you want a "BIG JUICY PICKLE" from the pickle man. She may try to embarrass you.





5. Expect the unexpected. That includes grown men in jean mini-skirts.





6. Always expect to share whatever food you have in your hand when there is a 2 year old around.





7. Never volunteer for something on stage when a chainsaw is involved.
