froggy

this little (big) guy caught my eye, hopping around after a gullywasher last Friday evening...

pool pics

Finally broke down and took the kids to the club pool on Friday (always felt I'd be out of place there, but it wasn't all that bad, actually) They enjoyed charging their burgers to "Daddy's account" and didn't leave before signing up for summer camps ( tennis for the younger set, golf for the budding 2nd grader) Footage: Use mouse to control cube.

FATHER's DAY 2007 Tybee Island, GA

Father's Day

On Father's Day, we took a boat ride through Lazaretto Creek and up past Cockspur Lighthouse in Charlie's new toy.

new face

I was harpooned.... ....through the nose.

new hair

I went shorter than I ever dared go before... ... and I like it. At least for the summer, but maybe forever (who knew washing hair could go so fast?!)

melting

i prayed a prayer not too long ago that simply went like this: "Melt me, melt my cold heart and help me to feel again." Then like the sweating of a great block of ice in the desert, the crying jags began. More than frequent and in public places, I couldn't dam my eyes though I tried. I laughed through tears, understanding that I was, indeed, melting. When I thought " I'm Melting" I thought too, of the Wicked Witch who cried those same words when she was doused with water. I thought of MY own wicked witch , within. I smiled some more, though I was still crying quite a bit, for I thought "My wicked witch is melting away, thanks to all this watering." I then began to emit impurities, like silver in a refinery. I pointed fingers and named names and it all burned to ashes. I felt lighter of my burden than I had in some time and like fine silver, I allowed myself to see it all as added value to my worth. I don't know where I am headed, or what is ov...

Time Machine

Lisa Samson posted "FAT RANT " on her blog (which I subscribe to) ... the video is worth checking out when little ears aren't around (for sake of one wirty dord or so) especially if you've ever dieted or tried on clothes ... checking it out led me to check out its creator, Joy Nash, who also made this Time Machine video . . . funny gal.

pierced & inked

yep. (I didn't go there because they're "Christian"- just turned out that way... Dave Oldham , the shop owner, is also an ordained minister. He invited me to Bible study ( To Hell With Religion) on Tuesday night... you can hear him at Revolution Church, Atlanta by clicking HERE ) pictures may follow...someday

Great Minds

I am told that, if ever there were an example of one brain residing in two bodies, it would have to be my father and myself. Now HE knows better because of the many times I've called for help on this or that or especially something computer related. And I know better because of all of the many, many times I've had to make those calls. Still ,Mom swears it to be true and has learned that coming to ME for a second opinion is usually no different than going to dad. Sometimes I am proud of this fact...other times, I'm proud of this fact. What can I say, he's a smart guy. Even when I was a teenager in the full throes of rebellion, I could usually see where he was coming from, but since I was blessed with his strong sense of stubbornness as well, I could usually press forward with little side effects of common sense getting through. When I struggle with things, I find myself wondering if he has struggled with the same questions too, and I usually assume that he has and that...
