I wanted to post a Daily Deviation, but deviantart site is too slow today, so forget it.
I'm on my cycle and my worst day of it. I'm not going to bellydance tonight because of that and it's Robert's birthday.
I just spent the last few hours making homemade lasagane. Fresh sauteed onions, ground steak [...]

Here is my Daily Deviation.
I liked this work by Rachel Pressley because it really gave me a sense of the moment. The way the sun is shining and the bumps on her flesh inidcating the chill and her hair a little blown.
I have been feeling very “watery” lately - being a Pisces, that's nothing [...]

A couple of years ago I came up with an idea for a photo shoot I have yet to do. It was “Urban Faeries” - the idea of goth/punk teens in specific sorts of fairy costumes(which I will save as a surprise) taken in various urban settings. The mall, the dump, by heaps [...]

Robert has finally decided to go to college. He took his tests and he starts school next week.
Even though Robert is a software developer and has been involved with computers from hardware and networking to webpage design for years - more recently database design and such, his primary language Cold Fusion (for your programmer [...]

I've been in and out of conciousness since some time late in the 5am's.
The girls have evidently been awake since 4, when they both suddenly woke up at the same time for some reason. They haven't been especially quiet. When I heard them having a discussion that sounded a bit like an argument [...]

No matter how well I think I am prepared, sometimes I am sideswiped.
Sometimes I feel I am making my feeling clear.
That thing I always forget is that sometimes, no matter how much I am trying to embrace, reach, touch - that the person hearing and reading my words is bringing their own experiences and hurts [...]

Okay - with the wacky winter break, being busy and oral surgery I haven't kept up with my Daily Deviations.
I decided to post one of my own works today for the Daily Deviation because I was in Baltimore this weekend.
I like Baltimore. It's got dirt. It's got some drugs and plenty of gang [...]

To my complete and utter amazement the duck site posted an announcement and link to my (and Richard's) new Charles County Cafe blog.
It seems innocuous enough. Just a nice little “hey check it out” sort of thing. LINK
I suppose I wouldn't look at it with a fish eye if I hadn't gone through what [...]

I have had a restless weekend, and so far, week.
Friday night we went to Rachel's for dinner. She served a perfectly cooked pork roast and lemon rice and leeks - mmmmmm - it was so yummy and thoughtful too. During dinner it didn't seem to matter what topic any one of us brought up, [...]

I can't get my 12 of 12 up right now because my reader isn't working.
I'll post it and back date it sometime this weekend once I get the dang thing to dl the images.
I'm very sleepy.
Got lots to do.

Okay, I finally got them downloaded. I had to use an external card reader since the internal infernal card reader wasn't working!
I'm posting this on the 18th, but back dating it to the 12th.
Quick story before the post. I didn't start taking photos until the afternoon because I forgot it was the 12th. [...]

Cold Scrambled Eggs
by Heather Bartlett
Sometimes I really miss the coffee you used to make for us in the French press.
I miss eating scrambled eggs together, naked.
And watching you make scrambled eggs and your other sweet offerings in nothing but your torn flannel shirt.
Some of those mornings are so vivid still, in my mind.
The way the [...]

Art takes many forms.
In my recent Wise Woman blog I mention the images we are bombarded with that make us feel dissatisfied with out lives. How girls often want to surrender themselves and let go of who and what they are to please others.
To do this thing makes you lose yourself. To talk [...]

I'm off to a good start blogging about stuff I used to blog about before October of this year when I started doing election research and my blog got flipped upside down.
Folks wanting some of the info I was posting were NOT interested in my private blogs - in fact some were rather offended by [...]

Your ghost stops by from time to time.
To remind me of something I never forgot.
Whatever I am feeling, it has a sweet sadness.
It feels a little like regret without the loss.
Am I supposed to feel sorry?
Well, in some ways I am.
I feel the rush.
For a rush, it's pretty slow in some ways.
Warm ways.
I wonder.
How can [...]

Okey dokey folks…drum roll please!
Still working out the kinks a bit - the event calendar has a glitch and I am adjusting the moderation settings as I learn them - the first two weeks will be a learning experience, but here it is:

Yes, I know it's not cccafe.com or anything like that - frankly I [...]

Sometimes I feel not so far from nineteen.
I watched Stealing Beauty a few nights ago. Her hair reminded me so much of my hair. Her curiosity, so familiar still.
Have you ever had one of those unexplainable connections with somebody? Maybe because their heart is like yours.
Maybe when we connect with somebody quickly [...]

His name is everywhere these days.
I get a strange feeling when I hear it…or see it.
Like something a little sad and unsure.
Maybe a tiny bit insecure?
Something unfinished, to be sure.

This is a notice I got in my email from Port Tobacco Players - this really is a great opportunity folks, if you are interested in acting at all.

Interested in joining PTP's acting company but uncomfortable stepping on stage without training? Or perhaps you've been on stage, but [...]

Here is a version of Children of the Moon in Black & White.
I prefer the version with the vintage colors, but I know that some people would like it better in black & white. I may do a sepia version.
I'm pretty much playing around and practicing at this point with this technique.
I also found out [...]
