Ikea=Awesome

So this blog will mainly be for photos that I've tried to be artsy with. But I couldn't help but post pictures of my spoils from Ikea. My main blog has the story (A Roudy Life). The chair bounces and the rug is just awesome (and only $10).

AHHHH DTV!

The DTV switch was today! YAY it's over! OK so we'll see monday just how much I want to quit my job. Friday switch means callers have the weekend to leave us hundreds of voicemails and emails to answer on Monday. Today we answered and logged over 400 calls due to DTV and we didn't have time to log them all. It was chaotic in membership today but we had all kinds of yummy food. For starters we had cheese and crackers. We also had danish-like things, cupcakes, donuts. Then pizza for lunch! Talk about junk food overload! But I wanted to share how cute these cupcakes were. I didn't eat one ...they were way too adorable. They even had ABC sprinkles! Doesn't the bright colors just make you want to smile? Well they should! Want to read about some of the fun DTV calls...seriously some are hilarious. Go here. No here. Or maybe here. Take your pick they are all the same really.

Past Pictures

I haven't taken my camera out in a couple of days because I haven't been feeling up to getting out. But I do have some pictures that I took a while back that I am particularly proud of.

When I bought my first "high tech" camera I didn't want to touch it. I was too afraid of taking it out and breaking it plus I was upset with myself for spending so much money on it. Luckily I was living with a family who knew how to get me to do things. Cindy took me by the arm and made me run errands with her for a couple of hours. During which time she made me realize that the money spent was only being wasted if I didn't use the camera. When we got home she then made me take my camera out and use it. So I started playing with all the new gadgets and settings.

I fell in love with my camera the moment I found the feature that turned everything black and white except for the color you choose. This of course can be done better in Photoshop but at the time it was my favorite type of picture. I love the sepia pictures of little kids in grown up clothes with one item in color. The most memorable is a little boy and girl sharing strawberry ice cream. Here are some of the pictures I took with this feature a couple of years ago.
