MARCH Photo Challenge

I've been wanting to do a "Photo of the day" challenge. My daughter's friend posted a good one on her facebook page.

MARCH 1~GREEN

 The Hulk Coaster at Universal Islands Of Adventure in Orlando. Did I go on?  OH HELL NO!!!
**I'm also posting these on my facebook page, so you won't need to go to both places.**

Last Of The Savannah Photos

Fifth in a series of What I Did On My Summer Vacation...I promise!

Last time I showed you Mr Sunshine's Savannah photos. These are mine.

He likes to photograph interesting houses and buildings. He gets the big picture. I like to step in close and focus on one thing. I also like to shoot in black and white.

A lot of the buildings in the Historic District of Savannah have beautiful ironwork details. You can read about it here.



Mr Sunshine Photographs Savannah

We took over 100 photos in an afternoon of roaming the neighborhoods in Savannah. Here are the ones I think are his best. Next time I'll show you mine!

In memory of the Haitian Soldiers that fought for us in the Revolutionary War.

Scary Stuff!

In the spirit of Halloween, I present to you....

SCARY STUFF!

Cockroaches? Please, I live in a condo in Florida. They fall out of the air conditioning vents. I squish them under my flip-flops and take pleasure in the crunch.

Her? One of my secret talents is a mean impression of her. "I'll get you my pretty....and your little dog, too"

Zombies? I don't think so. I worked in a hospital. When I trained as a lab tech, the students covered the ER one day a week. I've seen plenty of bloody bodies.

Oh Dear. This is kind of scary. This kind of stuff has the power to hypnotize me and force me to eat it. Last year we had ZERO trick-or-treaters. Last night, at the Tarzhay, this frightening voice whispered my name "Buy me, take me home, EAT ME YOU DESPERATE DIABETIC".

I have it locked in the closet, but I hear it scratching against the door.

AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! That's my closet. It's a Walk-In but I haven't actually walked in there since April. It's a project for November. Until then, I get the shivers every time I walk by the open door.

NaBloPoMo...National Blog Posting Month...I'm a little scared, but I'm going to give it a try. I'm putting a twist on it. Every day will be 5 Things On A Specific Topic. So far I have come up with 10 days of topics. Stay Tuned.

If A Picture Paints A Thousand Words

Maybe more like a hundred words but I can tell you about my week.

1. I got lei'd at the Disney Polynesian Resort. We went for dinner with some MA people who were down for a vacation. During dinner, they turned off the lights and we watched the Disney fireworks and could hear the narration through the restaurant sound system.
2. I'm reading Jen Lancaster, because I needed to be cheered up and she always makes me snort.
3. PURPLE TOES
4. This candle was originally $22 at the Shower Gel Store. Then it was reduced to $11, then $4.75. I was looking in a cabinet at work and found this last one behind some other candles. I did a price verify, and said "mine,mine,mine"!
5. Bonus points if you know that this little gadget is NOT an mp3 player, but a blood glucose monitor and I am now officially diabetic. Apparently Mr Sunshine State was contagious.

Photo Fun: Hmmmm

Would you care for an omelette with your Scripture this morning?

Don't they put python coupons on the back of YOUR grocery receipts?

Anybody wanna screw? ( They put this in our hotel room in South Beach)

Should I tell the little turtle dude that the pond is BEHIND him?

Memory Stick Spring Cleaning

Pictures. With Words.


WebMD Pill Identifier says it's 100mg of TrazzOhDoan. My pharmacy switched manufacturer last week. It's not working. I'm not getting restful sleep. Weirdo dreams all night long. That's why I started taking TrazzOhDoan in the first place.

At the Flea Market last weekend. I want those 3 little cuddlers. Mr Sunshine doesn't approve.

Also at the Flea Market last weekend. I have no words.

Peanut Crack&M's. I need an intervention.

The Dude! On the package! It's my nephew the professional model! It was one of his first modeling jobs. It's coming out in the stores any day now. We have a connection at Hasbro and got some pre-release.

I followed this truck for about 5 miles. I didn't have to. I just wanted to. It made me smile.

Photos: Just Stuff

We went to the Orlando Magic-Philadelphia 76ers playoff game the other night. As you can see, we were sitting in the nosebleed seats, not quite the O-Zone,that was about 5 rows higher (for $22 we weren't complaining). All the blue and white on the seats are the free T-shirts for everyone attending the game. Orlando won 91-78.
Our Spring decor in the store included these butterfly mobiles.

This is my little Lemon tree. I have already transplanted it once, but I think it's potbound again. Yes, those are still the snowflake Christmas lights on the patio.

This Bamboo started as a little $7 bundle from the flea market. I think it needs a bigger bowl. The candle is Fresh Bamboo (Slatkin & Co) and the little silver lizard was a 99 cent napkin ring from a clearance bin.

My Mom is in a choir that sometimes sings at Chapel By The Sea in Ft Myers Beach, FL. This is the stained glass window in the back of the church.

How many little bottles of purse-sized antibacterial gel do you think I've sold in the past 2 days? I'm not a germ freak. I usually only use this stuff after touching germy bathroom doors and germy grocery store cart handles. I also keep one in my car because it's good for taking the smell of gas off my hands after I fill the tank.

With the amount of cash I handle in a day, and the fact that the virus can live on non-human surfaces for many hours, I'm using the gel at work.

They are on a pretty high flu alert in Central FL because of the number of international travelers at the the theme parks. A LOT of people have been tested but so far only 3 samples got sent to the CDC.

Episode 200: Back With The Back Story

In Episode 200 of Little Miss Sunshine State, the role of Little Miss Sunshine State will be played by Special Ed the stuffed bear. The role of Tigger the Cat will be played by Tigger the Beanie Baby.

Little Miss Sunshine State has this little problem called Degenerative Disc Disease. Those little discs in between the vertebrae of my back like to bulge, break off in little pieces and eventually rupture. This has happened 6 times in the past 21 years. Make that 7 times, because it happened again last week.
This is the kind of pain that will lay me flat on my back. I spent Thursday and Friday in between my Martha Stewart Sheets, mostly sleeping and watching TV.
I drugged myself on muscle relaxers and slept about 18 hours a day.

Tigger was very concerned. If I was asleep, he was curled up on the other side of the bed, napping. If I was awake, he thought the best thing he could do for me was to plop his 24 Lb body onto my chest. Every time I asked him to fetch me an ice pack, he would gently place his paw over my mouth to shut me up.

With the help of nearly toxic doses from the Costco Bucket-O-Ibuprofen, I was able to smile and start sitting up for about 3 hours at a time. Today I ventured out to the grocery store (not my brightest idea).

Tuesday I'm going back to work.
