The Hill You Choose to Die On

The Hill You Choose to Die On

I’m frequently baffled by the hill some people choose to die on, so to speak. I submit, for your disapproval, the lady in front of me at Walmart.

On the belt: a large bottle of bleach, a bottle of Liquid-Plumr Penetrex , and a bottle of Liquid-Plumr Double Impact, which is supposed to have a drain snake packaged with it, but it was missing.

Clearly, something at home is amiss.

Sorta Kinda Photo Editing Contest: The Results!

Week before last I wrapped up my Sorta Kinda Photo Editing Contest.  I’ll be honest – it was not as popular as I’d hoped.  I had hoped for more entries/guesses.  I even put some money into advertising the contest since I was lucky enough to get sponsored prizes from XShot and iMemories (thanks again!).  In part, I think I shot myself in the foot by calling it a photo editing contest since no actual photo editing was required by entrants, so lesson learned!  In the end I had fun, and, the winners are a pair of sisters!

A Sorta Kinda Photo Editing Contest!

I’ve decided it’s time to play a game!  This is close as I can get to The Price is Right or one of those huge jars of candy that you have to guess how many pieces it holds!  So I’m going to host a photo editing contest – sort of.  The easy thing is that I’m not asking you to edit any photos, that’s on me.  You just have to guess how good I am at setting up a shot in the first place!  Dominic and I are back from a weekend full of photos in Humboldt County celebrating his 35th birthday, so I have a lot of editing to do!

Happy Valentine’s Day 2015!

As you may have imagined, it’s been a hard 30 days or so for me.  Losing Winston, then a whirlwind of a conference in Las Vegas for Affiliate Summit West 15, then getting the annual “Conference Crud” flu and passing it to my brother and husband, well… let’s just say my Christmas tree has turned into a Super Bowl Birthday Valentine’s Day tree.
