Oh where, oh where can my TRAcey be?!?

Where has Tracey been, you ask? Is she ok? Alive? Bored with (gasp!) blogging?!?

Nay, dear friends. I was simply unable to think of a single solitary bit of writing that was worth the effort to write and the time to read. And yet? I am writing THIS which is still a bit... Meh... but at least it will give you an idea as to how abso-freaking-lutely busy I have been...


Never let it be said that I don't still have a bit of creative juices flowing through my bones. Though my younger self would be scoffing at the thought of calling a mini-scrapbook and cupcakes "art" I have to grasp at what I can right now. So, Younger Self? Stuff it. You don't know how lucky you were to be able to casually draw and paint for hours on end...

The necklace! It is perfect and he loved it, though the old one had been on his neck for so long that the clasp had actually rusted together. I needed to use my teeth that night to pry it off his neck...
Friday night's Halloween party. In the rain. The cold rain. But we had fun! Here you see Batgirl and a Scarecrow huddled around the bonfire singing a scary rendition of "The Ants go Marching."Again, STUFF it, Younger Self.
Saturday night, looking hawt and spicy at my cousin's wedding. We danced. We drank. We stayed out way late and paid the hefty price EXHAUSTION the next day...
...At the pumpkin farm! With Cub Scouts! And a Civil War Reenactment! With Loud LOUD cannonfire! Good thing I didn't have a hangover or anything...
I did manage to get a few shots of the troops pre-battle, but the camera's battery DIED before the actual battle!! AGAIN! 2 years in a row that I haven't been able to get good pictures!!! I even missed out on pumpkin shots. Pissed much? YES. I will take the kids to the pumpkins simply for pictures as fall shots have GOT to be the most beautiful pictures of the year...

And, with that, I HAVE to go. Dinner is waiting and the kids are running rampant. I swear to be present more in a few days...
