Oh my!

I ventured out into the real world twice today ~ once by car and once on foot ~ and it so wasn't worth it!

The driving patterns around here are crazy because of construction and repairs that are going on right in front of where I live. That means one entrance into the parking garage and the main walking gate are off limits. UGH! So, everyone ~ pedestrians and drivers (garage users and valet parkers) are using the back entrance. One of the entrances at the back gate is also off limits. Basically, it's all just a big mess!

Some genius has decided that it would be a good idea to add a second security stop after the gate. So, after entering the garage there is a security guard or two or three waiting to stop you. Apparently, they're there to make sure people looking for the valet don't take up spaces in the garage or some such craziness. It looked to me like they were sitting in chairs and talking to their friends and blocking the way so that no one could enter the garage until their conversation was finished. Trust me, I sat and waited while they finished a conversation and I didn't enjoy the wait!

Walking isn't much better, because there is no place to walk except in the road with the cars. Then, when you go through the garage the security guards tell you to be careful and pick that moment to end their conversation and let the cars go. No pedestrian right of way around here.

I think I'll spend all of Friday inside boiling water since we're still under that boil water advisory. lol!

Thank goodness!

I spent most of the day out running errands and meeting my friends for lunch and thank goodness cause there was a water line break right in front of where I live and there was no water for most of the afternoon.

Isn't it funny how once you can't have something that's all you want?

We got water again a little after 7PM and are now on a boil water advisory for the next day or two. UGH!

I used bottled water to wash my face and brush my teeth. lol!

Fun and traffic!

I spent a fun morning taking pictures of my friend Frank. He is such a good sport and he posed in every ridiculous pose I asked for without questioning or laughing at me. I haven't even looked at the photos yet, but I'll share some of them when I get a chance.

On my way home from his house I got tied up in all the traffic from the Heat celebration in downtown Miami. Now, I love the Heat and I am so, so happy that we won the championship but I did not enjoy sitting in that traffic. lol!

If the weather cooperates, I'm going out in search of architecture and abstract photos tomorrow.

Who is the crazy person in the room?

Next Saturday we're going to Wings Over Miami to take pictures and someone asked me today if I would give them a ride. Well, because of my schedule and other plans I'm not able to give the ride and apparently that makes me the most evil person in the world.

Seriously, I have spent most of the afternoon trying to figure out what I'm missing. How and why does someone get angry over something like that? I mean, while I'm more than willing to help if I can it's not my responsibility and I already have other plans.

Would you seriously expect someone to leave where they are drive 30 to 45 minutes to pick you up and then drive back to the general area they were in to begin with? I was going to offer the person a ride home if they could get there on their own, but I never had time to do that cause she was already sending me nasty text messages and saying that my photos suck.

Yep, that was the big insult of the day---my photos suck. lol!

Tell me, who is the crazy person?

Photographs

It's been a while since I've bored...um, entertained you s guyby showing off my attempts at photographic genius so here we go.

Here are some of the photos I shared today. First are some pictures from the copy work assignment. There had to be some sort of picture inside our picture. It could have been an actual picture, something on the computer, TV or even from a book. My first photo got lots of laughs.

Here's what you're having for dinner and what you wish you were having...

Dinner for one...

My dad painted the snow scene...

And my Fifty Shades of Grey inspired photos...

I took the 50 shades photos while I was out of town. It's amazing how these ideas come to you after you've had too many margaritas. lol! The wifi in the room wasn't working so I had to use my phone. The pictures would have been so much funnier if you could actually see that I've pulled up a Christian singles website site.

Here are some photos that show reflections.

One more 50 shades pic

A couple of still lifes...

And a landscape...
