Just thought I would share – Hanna has posted her picture of me in the sombrero and Elaine has a wonderful shot of me showing off my birthday flan. I think everyone was amused, don’t you? Do I get a trophy for being Ms. Photogenic or something like that?
I had to go home to meet the cable guy, which is a good thing because the postwoman came by to give me a box. Meryl sent me a copy of A Day Late and a Dollar Short! It was too big to fit in the mailbox, so I’m glad I was here – I hate standing in the postoffice line!
Then I got an IM from Kymberlie that a box arrived for me at the office. I couldn’t stand the suspense – so she called me and opened it while I was on the phone with her! Ed K. sent me a copy of The Muppet Movie and A Walk in the Clouds!
What a wonderful day! Thank you Meryl & Ed!
Comment trolls pissing you off? People stealing your website designs without bothering to ask first? Can’t take another second of the boss at work? Simply had enough of Duhbya that you can’t think of anything creative anymore to describe your sentiments about him? Well, now you can use The Diabolical Curse Generator to come up with the perfect response! Never be left without a snappy come-back again!
As Rannie’s 100k Photo Contest comes to a close, here are my entries for the last 5 categories. All images open in a larger pop-up window.
Now the story behind the photos:
:: Human Form – A Picture Yourself style photo of Elaine, Mike and myself at Lupe’s last night.
:: From the Hip – The iced down beer cooler at Fuddruckers where Jason & I had lunch today. It amuses me that all the beer labels have Texas emblems on them – you don’t see that in any other state other than Texas.
:: Vintage – A black & white version of the photograph of old letters I took this summer. The one on top is the one that my Grandmother, who now has Alzheimer’s, wrote to me when I graduated from high school.
:: Caught Red-Handed – A restaurant window in Boston. I love flowerboxes, and the weather was so nice that day they had the windows open. Something you could never do in Houston in July!
:: My Favorite Things – Jason, of course. In Galveston this summer, at the end of a jetty along the Seawall.
Ironic that for months I’ve barely gone out at all, and now thanks to the H-Town bloggers there was coffee at Kaveh Kane’s on the 21st (photos are online now here), last night’s birthday celebration, and coming up I will be heading downtown on Thursday for after dinner drinks with Jish!
I got to meet Jish in March at SXSW, and let me just say … if you haven’t met Jish and a chance comes – do it! Maybe I’m just biased, but he really is a wonderful guy!
By the way – if you’re in the Houston area and you didn’t get an Evite to the get-together, let me know and I’ll make sure you get one! Thursday night, 7:30 in Downtown – be there!
