I’m on a Peter Gabriel kick or something. Yesterday with Shock the Monkey and Today with Kiss That Frog. Oh, where is the frog? Here.

Kiss that Frog (Bonus)

I went with the lily because I love the richness of the color and the sharpness of the main lily with the green and purple backdrop. I didn’t think that the lilies were going to be the best shots today and so I took a ton of the frog. However, when I was reviewing my photos the lilies immediately capture my interest. I review the rest and yep, the first shots ended up being the ones I liked most. Funny how that sometimes works.

Things are moving like crazy for me lately. I had an interview with a reporter from the New York Times. I sign into Twitter tonight and there is a tweet from Ted Murphy and he’s hooked me up with an interview with Forbes. Wow! So look for BenSpark in your local and national publications. So overwhelmed.

Tonight Eva had a bit of a meltdown. Daddy has some patience however and can wait out the crying. Sometimes she just needs to get it out, regroup and then she can function. Eva refused to sit in her chair and wanted her milk with a cover off. I wasn’t up for dealing with spilled milk tonight so I had Allison put the cover on. Eva was upset, she wanted the cover off. She also wanted to eat in front of the TV and watch Marry Poppins. This past weekend we did a picnic in the living room. She wanted to do that again. We said no, she melted down.

When she finally calmed down she sat in front of her plate of turkey burgers and peas. I told her that if she ate a piece of burger I would get her ketchup. She proceeded to shove the piece of burger in her mouth, take one bite, look at me and demand “Ketchup!” I had to leave the room to keep from laughing.

Chance of Light Rain

It looks like it will stay a bit rainy off and on around here. FYI: Photo of a snake below for the faint of heart.

Today I drove to work in rain, not in rain, back in rain again. All day it was drizzly out too. I worked at my company’s newest building and boy is it a beautiful one. The entire building gets some amazing natural light all the time. Even the artwork is better in this building.If it wasn’t such a message up place to get to I’d jump at moving there. For me, to get to the building I have to either go up and take a right or go right then take a left and go up. It is diagonally away from my house. There is no direct easy route to get there and getting back is worse. So, I’ll only go occasionally. The nice thing is that there is a bike trail outside the back of the building and one day I’ll go early enough to rollerblade before work.

On the way home I decided to pop into KMart because they had a buy $50 of menswear get two free tickets to Transformers 2 promotion. I walked all over the place and could not find anything I wanted to buy let alone spend $50 on. I finally decided that $50 worth of something I didn’t need wasn’t worth $20 worth of something I wanted.

Queit night here, just hanging out while Allison is at book club. I’m going to get some comic reading done.

Here is that snake photo and another flower I took a photo of. The snake likes to hang out in the bushes along the side of the house. Eva likes to go looking for them and watch then slither around the yard, there are about 5 or 6 ones we see regularly.

I see you
