did i mention i was ready for spring?



i drove to work today
in a snowstorm so bad
that
at one point
i had a little stress cry
because i couldn't see going forward
and didn't know if i could find the road
to turn around.

i want spring.
i need spring.

and in anticipation of spring,
i intend to do this again....
and i am thinking possibly without images...
only words.

i have my photography show in april
and i feel like i have been stressing about photos
for too long now...i am going to step back...
not from taking them
but from posting them...
i am going to rely
on only my words
for the month of april...

or so i say now.

what to do when the kids are gone for the night?



eat out at your favorite Chinese food restaurant...
share a long hot bath
followed by some quality time in the bedroom
{napping, of course!}
take the dog for a walk when you go to get slushies,
{mixed for him, cherry for me and a treat for the dog}
watch a movie {that even though you don't like it...
you both don't like it so it's ok}

getting ready...




my first "showing" of any kind
happens the first of april...
i'm getting a little nervous.

i went to see the space on saturday...
it is small and homey
and i like it.
there is currently an art exhibit there,
a collaboration of paintings by two women...
and next...is me.

i still find it hard to wrap my head around that.

i chose to call my collection
"in her 38th year"
as it is what it is...a collection
of images i have taken in my 38th year...
my first year of taking that real step...
of taking myself seriously.
