My longtime dreamboat, Jon Spencer, took a lil punk and mixed it up with some rockabilly and a handsome suit and a great band to make room for a new kinda spunk.

But that's all I can say because I am smitten in his presence.

I am awaiting the youtube presentation from the guy who was standing in front of me. Words cannot convey the dreaminess that is Jon Spencer.

I am sorry, they just cannot.

hahahahahahhahahahahaa

oh it's november....

halloween wedding avec grandmere, her tiara i made her wear and her purple cast....

the autumn has been an odd one; the sun wouldn't appear for ten days or more at a time. and then BAM...here comes the sun...a few lil 'buried treasure' kind of days. it actually kinda turned out quite lovely that way. i love a good surprise....

random thoughts:

• i still have not broken ground with any written manuscript. very frustrated with this.
• the Mr. is still working 2nd shift and it's a drag.
• i am hoping his request off for his friday the 13th birthday will be approved so we can orchestrate a fun lil dinner party.
  
• the little nyc frere is coming to visit next week for one month. we are going to decorate my home for christmas and bake cookies. this also means vegetarian meals for a month....
• i long for a home big enough to host a holiday. cramming in a two bedroom apartment just doesn't cut it.
  
• i am carefully planning my travels for the new year. i only have ten days to work with but i hope to squeeze in savannah, nyc, france and perhaps one surprise weekend somewhere. i always like to keep my travel options open. but seriously, america, TEN FRIGGIN VACATION DAYS A YEAR!?!?!?!?!?
  
• i am loving the new Monsters Of Folk (primarily on account of M. Ward's work) and my new bargain bin find: Burl Ives - A Little Bitty Tear
• i am so very tired when i come home from work each night that i have zero energy and hope that these days do not last forever and ever.

bring on december. i've got my mittens out and i'm ready.
