Giveaway part deux

Veronica is having another giveaway, this time for a good cause. I'll post a smidgen of what she wrote on her photography blog and if you want to read more just head on over to her site at....www.veronicareeve.blogspot.com.
"You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography -- $1000 worth, to be exact. Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $500 gift certificate towards a photo session. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be?"

There are rules to this. Just go to her blog and you'll find out.

p.s. spread the word around.

Who's on the Lord side, who?

Obviously not Susie. She thinks BYU will lose. She forgets what Bro. George Michael has to say "Cause I (and when he says I, he's really saying Suzy) gotta have faith... "

New Swooooon

Hey hey hey ladies....we need a count of who will be joining us on Saturday morning to watch New Moon. We are shooting for 10 am because some husbands out there want to watch the BYU/Utah game in the pm. We need to know soon (like by tomorrow) so we can collect money and reserve the seats. So who's up for a howling good time?

Giveaway

I really shouldn't be doing this, I guess it's out of loyalty to my baby sister, but she is giving away free classes to her photography class for Christmas. You can either choose the basic class or go above and beyond her not basic class (what this entails I do not know, AND I'll probably never know, because you can bet your not so attractive baby that if I enter I'll never be picked. She's ashamed of me or she's ashamed of my Inkleys 100$ point and shoot special. Plus when I'm around her friends she tells me to stand in the corner because she tells me "sisters should be seen not heard." Who am I kidding, she never has me around her friends. Ahhh reminds me of my youth, I'll let you in on a little secret, Veronica was the "popular" sister, she was funny, cute and dressed really nicely. Leslie was "popular" in the sense that she was/is really pretty and super duper smart. Me, well let's just say I had none of those, I dressed really badly and my smarts was all street wise. Who am I kidding I didn't even hang out at the mall, instead I hung out in my room singing songs from Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat. Who am I kidding, again, everyone in the neighborhood knew I was the nerdy sister, that was NO secret.)
Since Vero is now quasi-famous in the north part of South Ogden, mainly in the Washington Terrace area, particularly in the old part of town (and when I talk about old, I'm talking about where the senior citizens live, like my parents, in the Ridgemont Condos) I've become a sort of semi-professional photography critic. Now I'll probably get some haters, namely my sister, when I'm going to be mentioning things that kind of make me cringe in this crazy line of business called photography.
Here are my things on my list for Veronica to please stop taking pictures of:
Parents making out while their children look on....(oh cringe, I don't even like to think my parents were even capable of doing "it" to conceive me, I choose to think that I was born in a sort of immaculate conception. The only old person I want to see making out with anyone is George Clooney, I draw the line at anything older. Note to any and all relatives of mine: I don't even want to think that you are capable of doing "it" so any reminders that you are doing "it" is not appreciated. You can be in the same room together, but do not slap each others buttocks, look longingly into each others eyes, smooch, giggle or show any other signs of attraction to each other. Look I grew up with these people, you had your own reasons to marry my siblings, but I've seen them going through puberty, so to me, there are no good reason to be doing "it" with them.)
What I'm trying to say is.....those pictures are lame.

OK maybe that's where I'll leave it for right now.

back in the saddle again

Remember when I told you I was sick? and that I hadn't exercised. Well my body thought it was on vacation and then all chaos started...again. But today as I was reaching for another Grandmas Frosted Animal Cookie......I thought, would Kate Beckinsale eat this? No, she wouldn't. So I put the cookie down and walked away. Operation Kate Beckinsale back in full force......



(my goal in life is to look like Kate B. but have the soul of Marjorie Hinkley. Updates will be coming your way.)

Sickness and oddities...

So I haven't exercised in 5 days. Not that I wanted it to stop, but I had a horrible case of sinus infection, I did get drugs to help it but if I laugh too much I start hacking. So obviously I'm not well enough to move it and shake it. Plus I have an ache in my neck. My throat hurts.
I talked to a friend last night and we have come to a further realization that she is my sister from another mister, as we both say "rut beer" instead of "root beer", and it bugs both of our husbands.
We both hate scary shows.
We both were denied a much deserved anniversary night out on the town. (which we are planning to just celebrate ourselves. Once we both save enough money, because our budgets seem to be on the same wavelenght, nothing.)
We were married a week apart, on the same year.
We were born the same year.
We both love the Golden Girls.
We both have siblings in the photography biznezz.
We both work from home.
We both hate Vampires, both putting off reading Twilight, and were finally convinced to read them.
We both giggled throughout "Twilight"
We shouldn't bother sharing our opinion with each other because we think EXACTLY the same.
We both think that I bake the best chocolate chip cookies.
We both know Larry Leatham.
It's crazy.

But in looks we couldn't be more different. She being the run of the mill blond and I being the exotic french brunette with smoldering dark eyes and a killer smile.
