I had a very busy day today. I went to bed last night knowing that Homer was coming to stay with me today. So I got up early and started cleaning my house a bit. Ken gave me a hard time last night because my house is normally very clean and tidy. But I don’t dust too often so I was telling Ken that I have to clean before Homer comes over. Ken said I was crazy, that people could eat off my floors. I guess I’m anal about cleaning for guests.

So after running around cleaning up, I also had to get ready for a photo shoot. I had to move the dining room table and chairs to have space for the shoot. I was doing laundry and running the dish washer at the same time. Luckily, both finished before the model showed up. So I shot a few hundred pictures of the model. He models for some figure drawing guild and needed shots to show his posing ability. This guy had a different body then my other models. I took lots of photos but mostly selected the up close, artistic shots to post on my photo page. Tomorrow I’ll have to put all his photos on CD to send to him. I think he’ll be pleased. One bad thing though, during the shoot I totally broke my tri-pod! It was very old anyway, I guess I was twisting it one way it wasn’t supposed to be twisted and one of the legs snapped off.

After the shoot, I had time to upload the pictures to the computer, put the table and chairs back in place, empty the dish washer, and fold a load of clothes before going down to the tread mill to get a few miles in before Homer called. When I got back upstairs Homer had called so I called him back. He was able to get to the Metro in the time that I took a shower. So I picked him up and brought him back to my condo. After showing him around and talking a bit, I talked him into going shopping with me for a new tri-pod. We went to Tysons Corner Mall to the Ritz Camera store and got a decent new tri-pod at a very reasonable price. Then I took him to a little italian/greek restaurant for dinner. I didn’t know that Homer is a vegetarian! We both had individual pizzas. His had veggies on it and mine had meat. he he he I loves me some meat!

The rest of the evening was filled with playing on the computer, talking about all sorts of things, and watching To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar on DVD. I had forgotten how funny parts of that movie can be. After the movie we were both tired so it was off to bed.

I was all nervous about meeting Homer but now that I’ve met him and had some great conversations with him, I’m not nervous at all. He is such a sweetie. He’s also facinating. He’s here until Tuesday morning so I’m sure we’ll have fun.
