The summer is almost over

I keep going through all the things i did/was supposed to do. I had a running list on my desk top of dates and events. I keep deleting things and then adding 4 more. In some ways i think i am less busy during the school year, but its just that there is so much more routine things going on.

I know its been like a year. I'd make lame promises of updates like we always do, but Im just going to be realistic.

So here is another photo essay. These are the pink sunflowers in my yard. They were pink on the package of seeds, but these are more of a variegated yellow and maroon. either way, they are pretty.


and these are the burgundy ones



This is the pitiful hydrangea bloom from the plant that I managed to NOT kill. I regard this as a miracle of sorts. Frank (the ficus from the last entry) has long since passed on. Perhaps I should post a photo of his skeleton. I would, but i dont think i have one.


This is what that same hydrangea used to look like.


This was the henna tatoo i got on my foot at ren faire.


This is me in the bridesmaid dress for my sisters wedding. she looked at the digital camera after she took this and said, "you look terrible"




This is a picture of me and dan when we first started dating.


This is us a few years ago.


This is us a few months ago.


And this is me and Dan now.

photo essay on wants

This is Frank. Frank wants a new pot.


This is my half covered sofa. it wants to be all the way covered.


These are my dogwood dishes. I only have a partial set. the set wants to be complete.


This is the formica top that wants legs so it can be a table.


This is one of my blue and green wine glasses that wants to be part of a complete set. I dont think i can get any more.


This is my silver wear. the set needs to be completed.


This is my pie. it was peach rhubarb. i want some right now. there is none. :(


This is the tv unit i really want


This is what i will probably get, although not for some time. it can be placed on side and legs can be added.


This was my really cute hair cut. i think i want my hair short again.


These are my nails when they were long.


This is wine. wine is good.


This is exploding dog.
"one foot in front of the other"
it belongs on my wall
>

this is music. music is good. not as good as wine, but it lasts longer.



This is dan. i miss him.
