I know that I was all “I’m quitting” and “Screw you!” a few months back and that I’ve not given any details as to my Grand Re-Opening. (And I KNOW I haven’t been exactly regular with my posts, but other things are regular in my life. Thanks, Fiber One bars!)
Maybe I didn’t do the “Screw you!” part. Perhaps it was just in my head. So sorry for that. I was upset, you remember?
And yes, if it’s time for an admission, I did take down all of my pictures. Even for my “friends” on Flickr. That wasn’t very nice of me. But there were hints of a few people too eager for my picture. Normally, a nice compliment. But if, for some odd reason, a person was…say…spanking the schmekel to my snaphots? Well, I just have to be able to make some personal choices, you know?
However.
You know I like taking pictures.
You know I begged and pleaded and whored out my own website for my 35th birthday in order to get a new camera from Kennimus.
So, why, then…why? Why did no one tell me about this cool toy?
I’m all ver clempt. And I want a kosher hot dog for some reason. But seriously, I’m not speaking to you now. Unless it’s in Yiddish and you know where I can get one of these Lensbabies for the best price.

I have a photographer friend who uses them in his work. If you buy a LensBaby, its worth it to spend the extra for the 2.0 model… but the 3.0 version is overkill, and isn’t as much fun to use unless you are doing studio shots from a mount.

Wow. So, when you left a while back, and told us how much you were going to miss us and didn’t want to stop writing, you were really thinking, “Screw you!!!” in your head?
That hurts.
But, with the camera thing, it seems that they’ll come up with anything to get camera owners to spend more money these days. You’ll have to show us how the pictures turn out.

Try ebay - I have drooled over many a camera lens there, and have bought a select few as well.

In mitn derinnen, you go Yiddish? What’s a girl from Hotzeplotz (or is it Shnippishok?) know from Yiddish? And you? A haimisher mensh if there ever was one, but Yiddish? From where does this come with you?
You wanna get your kibbitz on? Bring it, Mocha!
By the way, I have such naches on your graduation tachlis! (Not to wish on you a kineahora…)

Oooh I’ve heard wonderful things about the Lensbabies, but I’m having my own camera issues right now as in, ‘what should I get?’ Do I go Canon or Nikon? This is a major dilemma right now.
And have I mentioned how happy I am that you’re back(ish)? And even with photos of yourself and members of your family cough

That is a very cool little toy! Not that artsy myself to attempt some cool photo, however.
Oh, you have a little schmutz on your shoulder……

OK, I’ll pull the “spanking the schmekel” card.
I’m thinking about changing my profile picture. It creeps me out when I think about all the schmekel spanking that may be going on. The traffic from mochamomma.com is unusually high.

Sporadic postings are enough for me. I hope I didn’t upset you! I can see in UR eye’s that you may have a mean streak. LOL
Yeah, you brought the pics. back. Thanks - I just revel in your beuaty!!! No need to worry ’bout me - I ain’t spanking anything but the “HOT ONE’s” behind (can you believe she ask’s me to do this? And it is a sexual turn on for her. Go figure! Just goes to show that you really don’t know another until you REALLY get to KNOW them!)

Good grief. I was still snickering about someone spanking their schmekel when, from the corner of my eye, I caught the letters in Lensbaby. For some reason my brain went to Lesbian and I laughed some more until I actually finished reading your post. Then I was confused at myself. Oy!!! Old age, complete with old eyes, really sucks.
Mocha Momma Said,

Thanks for the advice, Dave! I’ll only beg for the 2.0 for…uhhh…whatever occasion warrants a present. If they had a lesbian lensbaby, I’d totally get it.
Mommela, I got a 3-year course in it when I dated a Jewish guy. My final exam came when one of his relatives called me a schvartze. Nice, eh? Oy.

shit–hope you are doing ok. i know the blog fatigue and nastiness can set in sometimes, but if you *really* went away, the blogosphere would be losing a great voice.
COME BACK!

I’m checking email (even though it’s not Christmas) and I haven’t yet seen one of these babies in my box. I’ll try to be patient.
Joy - I’m sorta back. Backish. A little bit back.
Esma is total spam, isn’t she? Geez. I’m going to leave it for now, though. No time to delete it.
Jess…sssshhhh…I’m going. Are you?

Oy. I’m sorry you had to deal with people who didn’t judge you for the content of your character instead of the color of your skin. Some people’s children… (I say while sadly shaking my head, saying “mmm mmm mmm” in decreasing pitch, and sucking my teeth.) Needless to say, I’m sure you aced the, um, final while the relative (and apparently the man) failed dismally.
Come. I’ll make you some chicken soup. It soothes all hurts (and tastes really good, too).

Sorry you were gone so long. But I’m really happy to see you back!
Didn’t EZ post on the lensbabies at some point in the past? I’m pretty sure you were already in the loop on this (spoken as if I even had one — or any photo-taking ability for that matter!).
Take care,
Eric
