In Charge?

Started today thinking I was going to be "In Charge".
 Set up on the dining room to take photographs of the spaghetti squash and butternut squash that I bought at the market today. I planned on doing some creative lighting tricks, then snapping more pictures of the gut coming out of the gourd. I actually named that photo in my mind's eye. Then more pictures of the crazy knife skills I have. I figured by that time, it would be lunch and time for a break while the squash(es) roasted. My house would smell like autumn. More photographs after I did some "styling" of the newly roasted veggies. Then, "DINNER"!

Yup, that's how I planned my day.
First off, the squash looks like a part of the male anatomy, and I don't want it in the photographs. Secondly, it is WAY TOO HOT in a kitchen with the ovens on and with photography equipment all over, lights, camera...no action.
THEN, and this is the one that really hurts.....I dropped the camera. My heart has been pounding now for about an hour. The lens (thankfully) had a UV filter on it and the filter is the only true casualty .... and my pride.

Tomorrow is another day.
