I love my digital frame
(Just a tiny sample of the hundreds of shots loaded on that frame)
I originally bought a frame, and processed the pictures, for my mother as a Christmas gift.
I enjoyed the results so much that when I saw a frame on sale a few months later, I bought one for myself. I really need to add some new pictures, but there are enough there to amuse & delight me for quite a while. No matter how many times I view them, they still make me smile.
I love the way my dogs eat carrots.
I tried to get a good shot every time we gave them one, but they refuse to pose. They nibble them little by little, like a rabbit. They are constantly moving and every shot was a blur, even if I managed to catch a glimpse of the carrot in the pic, you couldn’t tell what it was.
This was the best of the lot – you’ll just have to let your imagination do the rest.. 
I love altered perceptions.
There is a great deal of prejudice attached to certain dogs; Dobermans, Chows, …Pit Bulls. Even mutts with a bit of a bully breed bloodline are viewed negatively. It is very unfortunate and wrong. I’d say 90% of those dogs that I’ve come across have been sweet, kind, affectionate. Pit Bulls especially – they are gregarious and almost clown-like in their play.
D was one of those who avoided Pits, having heard all the horror stories and urban legends. Between Cesar Millan and his beloved dogs (R.I.P. Daddy) and our trips to the dog park, he has come to see what truly awesome canines they are (or can be). He is even disappointed if the puppies’ new Pit Bull friends don’t show up.
It is just a small manifestation of human’s ability to have our minds changed
Barack Obama: “Yesterday’s bipartisan health reform meeting offered something you rarely see in Washington: an open, honest, productive discussion between both political parties.”
ROFLMAO
Lady GaGa in a new interview states:
“because if you’re sure of yourself as a woman they say you’re a bitch whereas if you’re a man and you’re strong-willed it’s normal.”
I am so sick of that malarkey. There are plenty of strong women who are successful – and not considered “bitches”. There are also many men who are strong-willed and recognized for the a-holes they are.
Too many women fall back on this tired old canard as an excuse to behave badly and/or to treat others in ways they would never want to be treated themselves. It does young girls a HUGE disservice to tell them that if they intend to be successful, they have to be jerks. It does all of society a disservice to dismiss and allow “bitchy” behavior as simply being ’self-assured’. And how does it make any sense for you to be whining about how unfair that perception is while trying to portray yourself as strong?
BTW: My mother was quite successful and very, very strong – and no one who has ever met her would describe her as bitchy.

Just found a nice deal at Wendy’s:
Buy a Frosty key tag for $1 and get a Jr Frosty free…every time you make a purchase at Wendy’s for the rest of the year.
And one for the boss.
And one for the bookkeeper.
Because an office full of creamy chocolaty dairy goodness is a happy office

There is a Smart & Final in my neighborhood. I usually pass it at least once a day, and it is always packed. Always. The parking lot is consistently full, people are forever coming and going with their overloaded carts.
So I thought I’d check it out. After all, there must be some killer deals to warrant that kind of business. Right? Wrong.
I couldn’t find any deals worth noting, let alone making a special trip for. In the same range as the Safeway and Fry’s around the corner. Certainly not as good as the WalMart Superstore down the street. Not even in the realm of the Costco a few blocks down. So what is it?
I checked their restaurant supply items, which lacked both selection and bargains. Considering that half a block away is a large restaurant supply store with more square footage of low priced supplies than the entirety of the Smart & Final, that can’t be it.
So, are they selling something under the table? Is there a secret handshake that cuts the prices in half? Perhaps if you whistle the right tune they bring out “the good stuff” from a back room?
Anyone?
I love fresh, red, luscious strawberries.
My sister went grocery shopping and brought these back to me at the office. They were every bit as sweet and juicy as they appeared. Makes me feel like Spring may truly be on the way.
I love this Flickr challenge.
It has been so fun to see what everyone comes up with – and such an eye-opener to always be on the lookout for the good things.
