Thursday, November 10, 2005Mr. and Mrs. Twenty-something-twit
 It's hard to believe that it was so long ago. Photographs don't lie, though -- you can see that we were, indeed, spawn of the 80's.That we've stayed married all these years is a testimony to God's power. For that matter, it's a testimony that there is a God to begin with. I've begun a fabulous project, you see -- I am re-doing all of our family photo albums. Naturally, all of my materials are acid- and lignin-free, and I will probably spend several thousand dollars by the time I'm finished. Ah, but I will be finished, and that is the beauty of it. Eric is deeply nostalgic, so his words of praise and appreciation have been freely flowing. I have only gotten through our first year-and-a-half of marriage so far. At some turns, it's been scary. The pictures that are currently assaulting your eyes were taken on our honeymoon in Cape May, New Jersey, which remains one of our favorite places in the universe.  Of course, Eric doesn't wear fuschia shirts when we go there these days. And I don't wear scrunched ankle-socks that match my top, either.I can be fairly obsessive when I begin projects, so I'm going to have to apportion my time carefully. I am, after all, working on two separate novels right now. At least the photo project gives me something to do when my brain is suffering from writer's cramp. And my manuscripts will be waiting for me when I get tired of cropping and arranging (and removing the microscopic bit of sticker from the center of a 1/4-inch lower case "e"). Don't worry, though -- I'm not planning on posting any more honeymoon pictures. These two were simply too gorky to resist. If a sip from the fabled fountain of youth would offer me the chance to look like that again, I would dump the offered ladle onto the ground. How much do you think Eric will pay me to remove his photograph? |

LOL we have some of those groovy 80's honeymoon pictures too.
I think you still looked cute :)
I was going through my Lady Di period on honeymoon lots of frilly shirts and little heels.
Doris! What do you mean you didn't buy them?! :D
Wendy -- OH! I swear I wanted to BE Princess Di!! Now I've got to dig up that picture of me trying to look just like her -- bob, tilted head, and all! I think I was about 16...(and highly delusional)...
Um... I have a confession to make...
he he he
I couldn't find a real pic, so I sort of... um... put my face on a Riker pic.
I wasn't sure if you would buy it or not.
I really did try to find one, I just dont think there is one.
And, by the way, never been to a convention and don't plan to. :)
I had a decent red shirt uniform when I went, but this pic I found of Riker had his face at the same angle as... hmmm... the pic that I used to have on my blog. :)
Just a little cheezilduggery.
Dave, I'm never never never never never never speaking to you again.
:oP
OK, not really.
I was this // close to getting them LOL but the fleece poncho was more impornat LOL
Next time :-)
OMG...I've been gone for so long, I almost missed this!! Thanks for giving us laughs at your expense. Also, without a doubt, you'll be sinking a ton of money into this project...just don't go back to JoAnn's too, too often...you'll lose the house.
