Photo Taggin'

I have a wonderful new friend Gena from Serene Moments that just photo tagged me. She has so many awesome photos on her blog and her latest is absolutely adorable!

Okay, so the rules are you go to your photo files and pick the 10th photo. Then, you post it to your blog. I must admit, I cheated. I don't have files in my pictures folder. I have a lot of folders with even more pics.lol. So, I randomly picked a fave of mine that I've posted here before and absolutely love!

The photo is of Chris my oldest son when he was 12. It was taken a few years ago at my father-in-law's house. Since then we've moved on and the water slide took it's last breath that very day, but I love this photo! What do you think?

Okay, so I know I'm supposed to tag other people, but life is busy and I have no idea who would love to play! So if you want to post your own photo and tag it, drop me a line. I'd love to see your photos!

How to Never See Your Child Again.

After we got our income tax rebate check back, my husband treated himself to the new Rockband game and another Guitar Hero guitar. The result? I never saw my oldest son again!LOL Interestingly enough it was the same result with my step-children.LOL As proof, here are some pics of them playing. Unfortunately there's no real lighting in this house, and I don't have a real camera, so the pics are a bit dark and distorted..

My son on the drums and my husband on the guitar. They were not impressed with me snapping this photo. The flash distracted them from their concentration on the game.lol

My husband's son on the drums and as you can barely see, my husband sitting back and enjoying the show. No complaints about getting their photos taken here! :)

My husband's daughter on the mic. More than likely she was singing "Maps" by the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs. It now happens to be one of her favorite songs from Rockband and real life.lol

Miley Cyrus Overexposed?

Apparently the juicy gossip of the day is, the overexposed photos of Miley Cyrus taken by a photographer working for the magazine, Vanity Fair. What is it with magazines getting themselves in hot water lately???

The photos of Miley Cyrus apparently show her topless in a sheet. While her back is facing the camera, I can't understand why any parent would allow their child to do a topless photo, back or no back! I also cannot understand why Vanity Fair would take such a risk in allowing a photographer to take suck risky photos.

What's worse is this is a celebrity whom hundreds of little girls look up to. There is nothing wrong with tasteful art or photography, but there is a time, place and age for it as well.

BuzzFuse. Lost, But Not Forgotten

For some reason I had actually forgotten that I was a Buzzfuse.com member. How odd since this website is a service I can see myself using. I guess I just got sidetracked and busy, and their site was lost amongst my other favorite links.

The interesting thing about Buzzfuse is, you can make money from your posts through them. Pretty darn insane, I think. Once you've posted your content through Buzzfuse, other members can view the post, and the more points you earn through them, the higher your ranking. The top 100 rankers get to share that month's earning pool. For March, the amount is $3500. I know that it's not much, but hey, $35 is still pretty good and better than nothing at all.

By the way, Buzzfuse isn't just for posting blog articles. If you have a favorite photo or some artwork you'd like to share, you can post that as well. Check Buzzfuse out.

Cameras, Cameras, Everywhere

My friend got her husband a video camera for Xmas. She was telling me she had to run to the store to purchase some tapes so that he could use his new camera. I know him and new toys, so I'm think eventually she's going to want to get him a new battery for that camera.lol

I wonder what sort of battery it takes? I know they did a lot of their Xmas shopping online this year, so it wouldn't surprise me if she buys a battery for the camera online as well.

Speaking of batteries, East Coast Photos has batteries for all sorts of digital cameras. To be honest I never knew that digital cameras use a lithium battery? At least their prices look reasonable!!! Compared to laptop batteries, I'd buy a lithium battery from East Coast Photos anyday!!!! First I'd better look into buying a digital camera, however!!!

A Moment In Time

These are a few photos of my oldest son. I've mentioned him several times in my blog due to his upcoming surgery. Unfortunately, I don't have any actual baby photos of him since the ex has them all.

In the first photo, my middle aged son has my oldest in a wrestling move. He was never taught that either. Maybe he just grew tired of putting up with big brother and decided to get even. He was around 4 when this photo was taken.

The photo below was taken last summer when he was 12. It's one of the best photos ever, that I absolutely love of him.

An Inspiring Weight Loss Story

A friend of mine shared a web page with me that I wanted to share with my readers. It is an inspiring weight loss story that is told through photos. Some of the photos may be a little too graphic, so please use caution if you have a sensitive stomach. If you can look beyond the photos however, you will see:

A Truly Inspiring Story

The Blurry Side of Things

While I did manage to buy cameras for the wedding, no one managed to snap photos with my cameras. So instead, I am waiting for my aunts to send me some photos from the wedding. While in wait, my uncle did manage to email a few. He tried lightening them up a bit, which made them somewhat blurry. So, while I am waiting on the real photos in the mail, I thought I would share with you, a few that my uncle and aunt did send to me.
