ack.

i didn't intend to take a break
but find i have to...
big things going on...
big fun wonderful exciting things
but things that tear me away from here...

tonight is opening of the gallery
where 4 of my photos are included
in the exhibit...
tomorrow is set up day for the art and wine
festival which i will be at friday night
and saturday night
and if that wasn't busy enough...
i also signed up for this:
a worldwide photo walk....
i'm so excited!!
{but i have to be there at like 5 am...
and i live a 45 minute drive away...yawwwwwnn}

so...
lots going on...
hope there is lots of sun and watermelons
and stargazing and strawberries with sugar
going on for you, too!!

sunday sweetness...

i love sundays like this...
lazy and long...
nothing to do
except hang out with family...

a breakfast of fresh strawberries
on pancakes...
a long nap with my favorite guy...
found a window frame to use as a
display for my photos in the upcoming
art and wine festival...
finished editing pictures for the last
photo shoot and got them uploaded...
tied up some loose ends...

now going to veg on couch to some
loud music (sinead o'connor and
maybe some ingrid michealson)
while sipping some cold pepsi
and laughing at the antics of
a silly 9 yr old...

i hope your sunday was just as nice.
