Autumn has always been my favorite season.  Summer always seems to drag on too long for me and by end of August I am usually looking forward to the shorter, cooler Autumn days.  Living this far north I really notice the shift in the sun.  Sunlight begins to fill our living room with it’s large south facing windows and sunsets become a little more dramatic.

These are a few pictures from my Fall Fairy shoot that I’ll be posting on Saturday.  I think they turned out really cute.  It’s amazing what a difference a simple little thing like a sparkly flower in your hair can make in a shoot.

I always looked forward to Halloween and my birthday as a kid and a lot of that enthusiasm carried over into adulthood.  For quite a few years my birthday party would include a trip to the local haunted house that a charity group put together every year.  It’s amazing how black lights and a few strobe lights carefully timed to someone sneaking up behind you and screaming like a mad man can scare the bejeezus out of you as a kid (and probably still as an adult).

So this is my little tribute to Autumn.  I’ll be doing a few other specially  themed shoots for fall and Halloween.  So be looking for them in upcoming days & weeks.

People keep asking me when the new site will be up and the best answer I have at this point is soon.  It’s been a real challenge doing all the things that I do already for DeliaCD and working on DeliaTS at the same time.  Trixie has been doing most of the design work while I’ve been working on getting all the content ready (building photo galleries and video pages)  and plugging things  in where they need to go.   We’re almost ready to submit it to our billing company (CCBill) for approval, which shouldn’t take too long.  I’m getting really excited!  It’s gonna be finger lickin’ good

I’ve been pretty consumed these last few weeks, pushing to get everything in order.  I tend to hyper focus on tasks like that and end up letting other important things fall to the wayside a bit.   Things like:  sleeping, cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, they all take more of a back seat.

I’m really glad that we’ll be getting out of town for a few days to do some shoots at a rustic cabin.  Though it will still be work, it will at least take me away from the computer for awhile and will be a welcomed shift in focus.  I just hope the weather holds up for us!

I’ll leave you with this parting shot:

Things are really starting to look up!

TGIF! It’s another addition of the all new $Five4Friday$ where I post five of my pictures and encourage you the people to make a $5.00 donation to my boob and FFS fund. This week I’ll be continuing with the Christmas theme bringing you five pictures from my Xmas Leopard set.

Chip in is all about helping someone out with small contributions. I like to think of it like an office situation where they take up a collection for a fellow worker. I imagine myself sitting in my cubicle working away on a Friday afternoon. Suddenly I notice it’s gotten quiet, except for a murmur coming from the break room. When I decide to go investigate I am greeted with a surprise gathering with cake and mylar balloons. A co-worker cuts through the crowd and announces, “We heard what you were going through so me and the gang took up a collection”, handing my an envelope he says, “It’s not much, but hopefully it will help out a little.” Bursting into tears, I am then surrounded by a big group hug. Then everyone eats cake and gets to go home early. Awwwww. That’s sort of how I imagine it anyway. But since I’m self employed and the only person I work with is Trixie, I kind of have to rely on the old chip in plan or wait for the right sugar daddy to come along So if anyone feels like donating a five spot for my cause it would be greatly appreciated! Thank You!!!

I’ve been trying to think of some new ways to raise money for my boob and ffs fund lately. I’ve had the chip in (see sidebar) up for a few weeks now and people are starting to use it but nowhere near the rate I was hoping for. So, one of the ideas I came up with is this special weekly blog entry called $Five for Friday$. I’ll be posting five of my favorite pictures from selected galleries and encouraging people to make a $5.00 contribution. The whole idea of chip in is to reach a monetary goal with lots of little donations. Of course you can contribute more or less if you like – or – skip it for now and just enjoy some free pics. I’m going to kick things off with some special holiday pictures we took last year with our super cool (at least we thought so) pink Christmas tree.

Since this is the first week I’ll be doing this and I’m feeling the joyous holiday spirit I’m also going to throw in a little sample video from this shoot. You can see just how much I love my satin maribou slippers!!

So . . . not to beat this thing to death or anything but . . . this is the $5.00 part of the $Five4Friday$ and your chance to contribute:

This has been kind of an exhausting week for me. We had our late Thanksgiving with Trixie’s sister’s family on Tuesday. So they arrived on Monday evening and left on Wednesday afternoon. I did all the cooking which I truly enjoy. We did the full spread with Turkey, stuffing, mashers, gravy, yams, cranberries, green beans, and of course pumpkin pie with whipped cream. I thought the turkey was a little off. We bought it fresh last year and then Trixie’s mom broke her wrist right before Thanksgiving so we ended up sticking it in the freezer for a year. Everyone seemed to enjoy it though and no one got food poisoning or anything so that was good.

Thursday I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy nose but needed to do a shoot for this weeks update (see pictures above). On Friday I had to drive about 7 hours round trip through shitty traffic to get to my laser hair removal appointment. They closed down the branch of the spa that I’ve been going to for the last year and a half so the closest one is now twice as far. There are a couple places that do laser and are closer but when I signed on for their package of treatments they offered half off of any follow ups. So it was worth the drive.

When I got home I spent the rest of the evening editing pictures. Today/Saturday I finished off the editing, built the gallery and uploaded the picture set. Then I took pictures of Trixie for her update this week. Oh yeah, I also made some promo clips that I added to my free video page. So it’s been a busy week and next week we’re planning on doing Christmas shoots and cam shows on the weekend. No rest for the wicked.
