Chowhound of Chastisement

I know that we go through seasons.  I know that we can be guaranteed turbulent seas, 

and mismatched socks, 

uneven bangs and schedules gone awry.  

I must be one who fancies self-inflicted welts.  

Trying to launch a business + work full-time + exist?  

Seriously.

Send a life boat.  Send a rope.  Send wine.  Sweet nothings.  Words that get you down from ledges.  

Send something.  

Sheesh.  

Gonna Learn Me Only, Hopefully

Lyricists have me captive.  Two such belong to Penny & Sparrow.

Finery ~Penny & Sparrow

it’s what i know you’re clothed in only sunlight and your flesh
so i bring the breeze in and the need to close up all the rest
your shoulders shown, your makeups thick until there’s nothing left
i still see you, still see you

you’re gonna learn me, you’re gonna learn me only, hopefully
don’t fold your hands and go to sleep
you’re going hungry, you never need me, only need be
you’re wearing empty dressed up finery

hush your blush and cover up this worry on your face
cultures captive, blessed men believe in awful things
you’re dancing ’till your feet both bleed & i wanna hear you sing
i still see you, still see you

you’re gonna learn me, you’re gonna learn me only, hopefully

don’t fold your hands and go to sleep

you’re going hungry, you never need me, only need be

you’re wearing empty dressed up finery

you’re gonna learn me, you’re gonna learn me only, hopefully

don’t fold your hands and go to sleep

you’re going hungry, you never need me, only need be

you’re wearing empty dressed up finery

Wear the ring, the clothes They're gifts for you to have, to hold, to know Even in the end you're my own Ways to want may go Won't become the ones that they don't know It's gold, you're coming home You're gonna learn me, you're gonna learn me only, hopefully Don't fold your hands and go to sleep You're going hungry, you never need be, only needing me You're wearing empty, dressed-up finery You're wearing empty, dressed-up finery You're wearing empty, dressed-up finery


to be told....
"I still see you"
POWERFUL

Stylin' Like a Boss

I thought I would share a snapshot of my marathon weekend doing all things wedding.  I have plunged into this profession like Lady Gaga off the top of the stadium.  I had a wedding south of Atlanta on Saturday and then a styled shoot all day Sunday.  Was on my feet for 13+ hours each day (at least) and loved.every.minute.

This was a shot I didn't know was being taken while I styled a set up for a sunset shoot to capture the lighting and the mountains.

Also you must take note of my nifty leather toolbelt.  I am obsessed with tools and having my own, so have started the collection. Now I carry anything from hammers to safety pins to fishing wire in style, harkening back to my Texas days of big belts and bigger buckles.

P.S.  This was also taken JUST before the largest balloon with all my fancy cloth strips got away.
