Wild times

Somebody hold me back! It might be time for some sort of intervention on my behalf. I need to calm my crazy weekends in the suburbs right down and right now. I spent the better part of the evening making this teeny-tiny stage and then taking photographs of assorted objects and soap bubbles for a photo contest a photo club I am in is holding. Carrying around a dinner plate full of bubble blowing solution is the kind of fun you can only experience once in a lifetime my friends.

As you can probably guess, the best part is all the pictures I took ended up looking lousy.

The Fix Is In


Hasn't, originally uploaded by biroschik2000.

This is the kind of thing that would only happened to me. I'm hanging around Target waiting for the kids to finish checking out all the toys when I notice that somebody was really, really bored and had posed all of the animal toys in various scenes of carnage. I don't think anybody was keeping score, but the predators had a huge lead over the prey in the assorted matches.

Far be it from me to let the goofy teenagers who undoubtedly posed all the animals traumatize all of the little kids who were going to come strolling along and witness this circle of life apocalypse. I start putting all the animals back on their respective shelves., but I can't resists snapping a camera phone pic of the classic battle of alligator versus cow. I grew up in the Midwest - this sort of thing happens all the time.

And, of course, that's when two store employees come cruising around the corner and bust me taking the picture.

I thought about buying this little couch that folds out into a bed to put in the room upstairs where the kids watch TV.
