Seeing more than nails recently......
"When the only tool you have is a hammer you tend to see every problem as a nail."
Abraham Maslow is the genius behind the quote above. I was introduced to Maslow through one of my dearest friends after mentioning Ivan Pavlov in a recent email. It just so happens she had studied some psychology in the past few years and I have been engulfing myself with the ramblings of this Brooklyn native of Jewish descent via Russia. Still with me? Anyway to make what was originally a short story-turned long story yadda yadda yadda....... I have not been very adventurous lately and everything I have done has involved work basically. I took the day off.....well I left work at 5 am this morning in order to come home and sleep a bit extra before getting up at noon and heading to a nearby town to meet a friend I have been chatting with for a few months from the Dallas area. We met in Greenville and I must say she is every bit as pretty in person as in her pictures and she looked gorgeous in the pics. Anyway after saying our hellos and a few hugs we were off in search of antiques. Actually I usually frustrate people who go to antique stores with me as I seldom buy anything haha. That held true today as well. Julie is into SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) which is an international organization who is dedicated to researching and reliving middle ages and more specifically roughly the 1500s or 16th century. I do hope to join her and her friends some day soon for some of these "activities". Julie btw is a newly appointed Barroness in her area organization so in effect I was in the presence of a higher ranking person for the afternoon. As a part of her "duties" she sometimes is expected to bestow "gifts" to her subjects and lets just say she found some fitting gifts in the quaint farming village of Greenville suitable for gifting. We then left and had a less than medieval dinner at Applebees (but very tasty nonetheless) . She had to get back to her apartment kinda early though to feed her dog Tristan and to let him out to do what dogs do so our day was cut a bit shorter than both of us would have liked but we both agreed to find some time in the near future to get together soon so I am looking forward to that. Oh and since everyone likes pics here is Julie in one of her handmade "costumes". And thanks Julie for a great afternoon!

Glad you put the hammer down and went out and had some fun!!! Julie looks so pretty in her costume and I bet that is a lot of fun learning all about that stuff with her. :)
p.s.... your comment to me made a tear come to my eye. Thanks for being there for me and for being such a good guy.. I luv ya Bear!
Yea it's good to hear that you're not neglecting the fun. hehe =)
Her costume is awesome!
Well glad to see you're still around and that maybe you didn't accidently nail yourself into the wall or something. I love the midevil thing. The rennisance (sp?) fairs are always a blast. I've only been to two of them in my life and they are a BLAST!
I could probably sit and talk with her for hours on end! I would also be just the person for you to go antiquing with because I rarely buy anything either!
Hope all is going well for you!
xoxo
