Make it snappy

I've entered a photo contest. I do not proclaim to be a good or even mediocre photographer. My pics are taken on a cute, pink Sony Cybershot that I got on sale at Target. It suits my needs. So, please don't expect to see award winning snapshots. I'm just having a good time and it takes my mind off having a car with jacked up a/c.

The sponsor of this scavenger hunt like photo contest is Eaglehawk. The rules were simple (thank God because I have a hard time following rules and instructions.)

Here are the required items: Baseball, Flag, Corn, Dog, Cow, Train, Turtle, Out of Control, Pizza, Heat, House, Roses, Wheel, Jungle Gym, Squirrel and Bottle


Mancub had to dig this out of his closet

Look ma! No hands.


It's stuffed, but it's canine-like.


This is the post mooing form of cow: Meatballs


This reflects physical training ... if ever utilized.


Cowabunga, Dude!


Silver attacking an innocent ruler. She's insane.


Yummy! Monical's Pizza


Yes, that's the flame from my stove.


This is a Frank Lloyd Wright house in historic Kankakee.


Roses from an arrangement.

This little dude is lucky he's not pavement pudding. He darted in front of the car.


My weapon of choice. I do not suggest mixing it with All Bran lemonade mix. Just sayin'.

    Nice! You did a great job on these. Pavement pudding... I've never heard that one :) Can we vote?

    These are fab/gear pix!

    My fave is the Frank Lloyd Wright house. I love the ``walking tour`` where you get to see & go into some of his houses in Oak Park & River Forest.

    I like this tasty picture with the Monical's Pizza. I think I'll go and have a piece right now.

I'm not one for keeping an immaculate home. I grew up in a house that was clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be lived in ... or something along that vein. I tend to avoid cleaning beyond the regular chores of washing dishes and laundering our clothing. I know our cats turn the countertops into their own stage. Because I have visions of the two cats doing their strippers on crack routines on the counters, I keep anti-bacterial spray on hand at all times. What I'm confessing to is not getting into the nitty gritty of cleaning on a weekly basis. In fact, if it comes twice a year I consider it OCD. I have a distinct recollection of my mother only cleaning our kitchen floor by means of scrubbing it on hands and knees. That is drilled into my head as the only way to truly get the floor clean. I own a Swiffer Wet-Jet, but that thing doesn't really get the floor clean in my opinion. I use it between times when I break down and get on all fours to scrub the kit...

Prayers be with her

This is not a frivolous post. I implore anyone who reads this, regardless of your religious beliefs, to pray. If you're not one for praying, then send positive energy into the universe. My sister Maureen is undergoing a serious surgery tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. Loyola University Hospital. The surgery is expected to last 3-5 hours. She'll have a tumor removed that is the size of a large grapefruit. It has compromised one of her kidneys. Therefore, they will remove the damaged one. In addition they will attempt to give her a hysterectomy. Due to excessive scar tissue this may not be possible. Depending on the damage within, she may require a colostomy. Her liver, heart, lungs are all healthy. They don't anticipate any serious problems, but during the initial discussion of the surgery they had to give the run down of the possible things that could go wrong. Even when it's a million to one chance, they have to disclose the risk ... even death. When I first heard...

Inaugural video message from your Wildhair

Oh, nice still frame! I look like I'm about to heave or I'm doing my impersonation of Jabba the Hutt. This is an impromptu idea. I wanted to give my friends, family and readers something special for the end of the year. Let me know if this version of my randomosity is something appealing for the future. My random blathering takes on a whole new meaning when you witness it live ... or almost live. Happy New Year!
