What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life - Dusty Springfield

{{{ldyj}}} :thbighug-1: and sleep deprived {{{Scarlett}}} :thbighug-1:

Is it the picture? Or is it the moment? Or is it the picture of a moment? Or is it the moment captured in a picture?

Yes, thanks, jmh. Eerie and amazing photographs. It seems like so long ago and, at the same time, like yesterday.

Yikes!

I think if he were fully smiling in #1, I'd have to go with that one. But the un-posed, natural beauty of #2 is speaking to me today....

The CH is having their "first Saturday" picturefest, and dancermom2 just posted this beauty, which I don't think I've ever seen before. Maybe even merrieeee might like this angle...

As a proudly professed profile enthusiast, this has been a favorite of mine for quite a while. It's a work of art, the way the lighting highlights the planes and angles of his perfectly handsome features.....

Sad news, georgie. My condolences to her family & friends.

Don't even care what the second picture is.

First things first - my favorite Clay look? I'm That's easy! Whatever.

to Annabear - it seems my Julie/Julia obsession has inspired her to cook - so we both spent a good deal of the day in our respective kitchens!

to you too cha cha! Yep, your posts on FB about your obsession inspired me to roast a chicken. Never cooked a whole one before, so I'm glad this one turned out well enough to not scare me away from doing it again!

I was talking to a nurse I work with about the gala and the foundation and what it does, she has a son who has autism, he's beginning kindergarten today, she was stressed as he is going to be in a regular class with a worker with him 20 hours per week. kindergarten here is a full day. It won't be easy. Just the thought of 12 toilets flushing at the same time will be a big deal for him. She was telling about people she knows who just avoid them when he's with them like he has a contageous desease that would affect their child. I can't believe how people are ignorant and mean. She told me how he sometimes acts up in a store and someone said he would need a good smack. I'm just ranting this morning. It's just like that teacher who made the kids in her class vote if they thought that classmate with Asperger's should stay with them, that got me mad. I'm so proud of Clay and his foundation fighting for inclusion!

Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of - U2

He looks sooooooo young and cute in #1. But I'm a sucker for the sexy sideways glance in #2.
