Photos

Around 2:30 this afternoon, the fog lifted and I started feeling perkier. Hooray! The dark, cold cloud had passed and I’m back to work tomorrow morning. With my new-found energy, I put together a Valentine themed photoshoot for February’s desktop calendar. I picked this photo off the cutting room floor and put a frame on it. If I’ve learned nothing from those wedding photo books, I will always remember the, “Put a frame on the photo and call it art.” advice. It totally works.

I thought the main focus for this photo would be those chalky candy hearts with the messages on them. I had two boxes from last year I unearthed from somewhere in my craft room. It wasn’t until I dumped them out on the top of the dishwasher that I became pretty sure I got the reject hearts. Hardly any of them had messages that were readable and some of them didn’t have a message. Outrageous! See if I EVER buy candy hearts from the Dollar Store ever again! Hrumph!

Also in my energy spurt I crocheted these Mr. Spock ears for a trekkie at my office. Now, I can’t promise you’ll see them on his ears or anything, because I didn’t want to treat the ears like a conditional gift – I’ll give you these if you let me take your photo with them on. It didn’t seem fair. And Mike Browne flat out said NO before I could even ask if I could take his photo with the ears on, so I’m not feeling like we’ll see them in action. Also, they’re not very exciting on their own.

If I don’t get out of the house, I’m afraid I’ll be staring in my own show on the TLC channel called, “My Strange Addiction to the TLC”. I watched so much Toddlers and Tiaras, Next Great Baker, and Hoarders that I started seeing repeats of the same shows. Of course I want to see the next season of “My Strange Addiction” they’ve been advertising so I can see the lady that eats more cat treats than people food and the guy that makes out with his car.

I need to know these things. I think should just rename that channel, “You’re a Nosy Neighbour for watching this stuff”. It’s a stretch to call that channel “The Learning Channel” at this stage of the game anyway.
