Tomorrow morning I head to California to drive the new Kia Stinger. I am so excited about this. The Stinger is one of the most beautiful Kia vehicles I have ever seen. I just want to get inside and start driving. I just love the front end of the car, it is incredible.
Andrew’s continuing to want me to photograph him as he poses. Today he came down and got his hat and his sunglasses and did a whole series of moves and kept telling me to take his picture. I only had the cell phone on me so I missed many of them but did mange to get a few good ones of him being really silly.
We did Play Group today and then it was off to get our haircuts. We go together each month. I get super short and he gets a little trim. Keeping that little mop top for a while so he still looks like a little boy and not a boy, boy with a buzz cut. He’s got good hair but a shorter cut would certainly be easier in the Summer. Maybe in a couple of years.
Allison has been working on a hat for our friend’s baby boy. His first birthday is coming up and she made him an adorable Very Hungry Caterpillar hat. The very same Very Hungry Caterpillar from the Eric Carle books. We wanted to get some shots of the hat so we had Andrew model it. the thing is, Andrew is not a cooperative model. As soon as he sees the camera he turns away. He is most unhelpful in that aspect. My new NXMini has a kid’s mode and with it there is sound. When I push the shutter button a silly sound is made which should cause a child to turn and look. Then the camera takes a series of 5 photos. The thing is, Andrew doesn’t turn to the noise and after the camera does the 5 shots he laughs at that sound, more maybe he’s just laughing at my frustration.
We had our very first Nor’ Easter today and the snow fell hard and fast. Of course it happened when the family had things to do. Allison had a table at a vendor fair so she could sell some Barefoot Books. I took the kids to my parent’s house for dinner and then took Andrew over to see Allison. He had the cutest Frog hat on so we posed with our Winter hats together. I had to take this shot. Such a cutie. Continue reading A Nor’ Easter Has Arrived
Allison has been working on a hat for me for a couple of months now. She presented it to me when she came home from Knitting tonight. It is made out of sock yard, which is very thin. She had to knit the inside and the outside of it as well. She made it so it has two Autobot symbols. The symbols are supposed to be worn as the front and back but I like them better on the sides. It is a nice hat and a little tight but my giant noggin will stretch it out a bit. Continue reading New Hat
We had to go to the Providence Place mall today to go to the Apple store because Allison’s iPhone was wonky. It was wonky because people could only hear her when she was using the speakerphone. So strange. We went to the mall and when we got there we went right to the Apple Store and ended up with a 2:40pm appointment. We had arrived before noon. So we had some time to kill. Continue reading New Monstah Hat!

This time the prize was won by @XMasDolly which was her second win thus far. Great job! The winner of the prize for today is a four time winner so far and that is Brendan Recupero of No Time 2 Ride.

We have some Fall decorations around the house. I figured I’d try a few things with my camera and my Sima SL-20LX Ultra Bright Video Light (Black) (Aff Link). I haven’t ever used this light on my camera before but I like it. I like it better than the flash because it is nice and even. I was able to also get a few photos of our cat Duncan and it didn’t give him crazy laser eyes either. I found that by adjusting the ISO and the White Balance to Tungsten I could get a decent shot with very good light.
Tonight I went downtown to the Speed of Thought Playhouse. I did my weekly live broadcast for the third week in a row. I took a ton of photos throughout the night and even had some great people in the chat room, it was hard to do both at the same time but I made it work. The photos will be up as soon as I get a chance to pick out good ones.
The chat room for the live broadcast was working great, we had Keith from Ten Mile River Watershed Council. We also had Julie from Julie’s Journal and Heather from Beautiful British Columbia. They couldn’t stay long but we did have two die hards in Smilieshorts of Short Thoughts and Suzie of The $200 Mission. We had a great time chatting away while the show was going on.
I think that I’ll be making a Stickam tutorial to help people sign on easier.
Today is my sister’s birthday and we got her some Speeding Tickets. Speeding tickets are gift certs for Speed of Thought Players. She really likes improv and had a great time at the first show we ever saw here.
