Secrets of Spring
Photo-A-Day #1505

The irises around the house have started to make their springtime debut. Although it does not feel like spring around here but rather more like summer. I’m not ready to be instantly covered in sweat the moment I step out of the car. Although this weekend is supposed to be cooler. We shall see.

In the excitement of our vacation I forgot that I had ordered a new shirt from TenBills.com (Disclosure: Ten bills sent me free shirts in the past and even sponsored a contest with me and supplied me with prizes for Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs and since then I’ve spent my own money on their shirts because I love how they look and how they feel).

New TenBills.com T-Shirt

This particular shirt is a limited edition t-shirt that TenBills is selling to help raise funds for ShutterCal (a free photo-a-day site that arranges your daily photos on a calendar, it rocks.). By the way I think the shirt captures the essence of what I have been doing for over 4 years. I now have to go and make sure that my Shuttercal is up to date (which it is not, you have to go back to January)

Transformers M&Ms

Speaking of limited edition, M&M’s just released their Transformers Movie Tie-In candies. Yesterday Allison picked up the Peanut M&M’s which are Decepticon themed, the Plain M&Ms which are Autobot themed. There is also a special edition Snickers bar that has Yellow Nougat. The bar is supposed to be colored like BumbleBee. There are some collectible wrappers. I’m not going to be collecting them however. What am I gonna do with some candy wrappers?

I’m a fan of Disney Pin Collecting. I try to pick up one or two pins at each trip. A few trips ago I bought this “Camp Counselor” bucket hat. I wear it on each trip. The hat came with about 8 pins on it. They were generic ones for Animal Kingdom. I traded many of those ones for this set of animated characters dressed as Pirates of the Caribbean characters. They are sold as a set which I didn’t find until I had the whole set anyway from individual pin trading.

I have also picked up pins for Eva from each of our trips. There are cheaper starter packs of pins out there too so I was able to pick up a couple so that on Eva’s next trip she can do some trading. She already has no problem talking to the characters, I doubt she’d have any trouble doing pin trading with the cast members.
