HNT and stuff

It's my last day of work before the winter break. I'm so giddy I could spit. I've also been so busy I don't know which way is up. But it's all coming together, I've purchased pesos and US $, and I went out and bought a huge new suitcase for the trip. Tomorrow will be relegated to packing.

I didn't have time to work on an HNT shot this week (and anyway, how could I beat last week's) so I asked my good friend if I could use a shot I took of her almost twelve years ago when she was pregnant with her first child. The lump you see is a beautiful young lady of 11 now.

Frankly, it's one of the nicest people pics I've ever taken. I was also blessed to be able to participate in the birth of the child, an experience I am so grateful for.

Voila!

Happy HNT and the first day of winter!

    where's the half part? I think this is an illegal picture and the halfnekkid police are being called.

    Not to take away from your friend, who is quite.. perky! and dare I say, saucy?

    Definatly a great HNT picture because she has a lot behind her....an entire family that I had the pleasure to be part of and by participating to the second birth of her child(I didn't make it, I filmed it (very shaky)), an experience that every man, gay or straight should have.

    Do I detect a note of sentimentality in "the spouse" I hope not , I've learned to enjoy his unbridled hatred of all things corny!
    See you soon!

    Well, the Spouse is on the half edge of vacation and surely will reconnect to the husband left alone within the last 6 month.NO! I am not sentimental. Just almost on vacation.
