1-7-11 #7 Husband

I have the best husband ever. I know everybody says that. But for me it is true. It's not just that he cooks, and cleans, and is an awesome father. He is kind. He listens, quietly. He knows my body, and he knows my heart. He loves me, even though I am hard to love. He sticks by me. He knows when I'm being melodramatic, and ignores it. He knows when I'm broken, and he picks up the pieces. He is all I could ask for and more.

1-4-11 #4 "dance, dance, dance all night long"

It's dance time again, finally! After a long winter break! I've come to realize that I love their dance studio as much as they do. I love the smell, the sound. But it makes me miss dancing so much. Or maybe just childhood. Not mine, obviously, but the one I gave up.
I think that's why I always cry at ballet. I succeeded in thoroughly crushing all my dreams. I spit on my parents dreams for me. Everything I ever wanted, I threw away. For nothing. Dollar bills, that should have been Benjamins.
The girls have these amazing bright futures. I'm determined to see them succeed. I don't want them to have to defuck their lives like I had to. I want them to live their dreams.

So we dance.

Money, get away.
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four-star daydream, think I'll buy me a football team.
Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do-goody-good bullshit
I'm in thehigh fidelity, first-class traveling set and I think I need a Lear jet
Money, it's a crime
share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say is the root of all evil today.

But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away, away, away, away, away......

1-2-11 #2 "The Girls"

You will find that I love taking pictures of my kids. My noisy, rambunctious, beautiful, perfectly imperfect girls. They light up my life.
Lately, it has been exceedingly difficult to get a picture of them together. We don't get many quiet moments around here. So I'm pretty thrilled that I caught this pic (mid-wrestling match) before anyone got bodyslammed.
I know. I know. Girls are supposed to be delicate. Sweet. Well I don't have a clue how you would go about raising a girl like that. So I'll stick to what I know. May the games begin!

# 1 1-1-11 "Introduction"

I've never given much thought to the New Year's holiday. Resolutions never held much appeal for me. A holiday for self-improvement? A schedule for change? Eh. Life is a constant stream of change. Right?
I've never been one for schedules and structure. But today, for some unknown reason, I feel compelled to conform to the great American tradition of The New Year's Resolution.
Perhaps I'm craving a challenge; a personal journey. Perhaps I just need to feel the lights of center stage. I am a Leo, after all.( I need an audience like I need air to breath!) Perhaps I just like taking pictures.

So follow me, if you dare, on my 365 challenge. A journey of self-analysis/gratification/ improvement????
I'm not quite sure what that means yet. So you'll have to be patient with me while I find my way. Welcome to my world......One Day at a Time
