Here's something a little bit different. . .

If you watch any amount of TV or any shows on Hulu you probably have seen some of the absolutely hilarious Geico ads. But just in case you haven't, here are some of my current favorites:

Did the Little Piggy Cry "Wheeee" All The Way Home?

Do Woodchucks Chuck Wood?



Does a 10lb Bag of Flour Make a Really Big Biscuit?



Is a Bird in the Hand Worth Two in the Bush?



Was Abe Lincoln Honest?



Does a Former Drill Sargent Make a Terrible Therapist?



Now THAT is great marketing. . .
(stay tuned, there are more good ones that I will try to remember to share another day)

More Pics of Amie!

More pictures from Amie's senior session. . .as you can see, I am editing my favorites in batches based on location. These were all taken in the same vicinity as where I attended college.

Another photo by Michelle (but my idea to have her pull petals out of the flower *grin*)

For today's post I thought I would share with you some more pictures from Amie's senior photos session. I am still working on editing them (I just finished the basic editing and now am playing in Photoshop with some of them), and here's what I worked on today:

I had the opportunity to play with some super-adorable kittens tonight. Here is a picture that I took of one of them. They were so cute and I wanted to bring one or both of them home. Someday I am going to get a cat, I have decided. :)

It is impossible to keep a straight face in the presence of one or more kittens.

Wordless Wednesday

11-02-10: NaBloPoMo, Day 2

Just a short entry today to say how much I enjoy driving around listening to Christmas music. What makes it even better is when I am driving around listening to Christmas music and the roads are much safer due to the lack of snow or ice. Now, don't get me wrong, I like snow, but I strongly dislike ice, and driving on either is definitely nowhere near the top of my list of things I enjoy doing. So listening to Christmas music while I drove, and not having to worry about treacherous road conditions was certainly nice.

And yes, I was listening to Christmas music on November 2. Just a little bit, I promise. :)

You may have heard of NaNoWriMo. That stand for National Novel Writing Month and the goal is to write a novel of a certain length during the month of November.

Some of us probably would never be able to finish a novel within a one month period, so for us there is NaBloPoMo - National Blog Posting Month.

The point of NatBloPoMo is to post daily on your blog. I am going to do my best to post daily, although I reserve the right to miss a day here or there and make it up. *grin*

Today I thought I would share with you a quote I came across this evening:

The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts.  No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.  
~H.U. Westermayer

And for Thankful Thought #1 (I hope to share several Thankful Thoughts between now and Thanskgiving):

I am thankful for the fact that leaves change colors and leave us with something truly beautiful in the fall.
