I know this has been all over the interweb but I have to make sure you’ve seen it…watch out…you physically might weep like I did.

So, a lot has happened in the past month and I’ve done a piss poor job of recording it (i.e. went to Bali, went to Colorado, bought a pair of grey jeans, attempted to cook a few times, etc). Shame on me, self. My #11.25 goal in life is to get back in the creative spirit and write/take fun (not wedding) photos. Stay tuned….(although it might take a bit of time to get going because I will soon be going home to see Elton John in concert with my women (mom and sister) and have a bit of stuff to do before then (i.e. work, shoot two weddings, work, spoon with dog, etc).
Speaking of Elton John…for some reason in my head Elton John’s name is John Elton. You don’t know how many times I started to write Elton John but had to erase it over and over because I typed John Elton. Ohhhh, John Elton.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
