Okay, so this is completely non-related to photography, but I just had to share. 

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed some rather irrational fears.  I don’t know if it has to do with being a mom or just preservation of life or what.  All I know is that some things scare the crap outta me…like bears.  This started when I was pregnant with my oldest son.  We lived on a lake in Washington and I started having nightmares about bear attacks.  I’m obsessed with bear attack stories but you won’t get me to go camping…not even in Kansas.  (Kansas has mountain lions, you know!)

I could probably give you a list of my Top Ten Panic Attack Items, but I don’t want you to think I’m too weird so we’ll just stop with bears.  My hubby knows how I feel about these big furry beasts, so he kindly sent me this email the other night.  It’s pretty funny…even if it does keep you up at night. 

I must take a moment to share with you a bit of what’s taking up space on my DVR right now.  My hubby’s a wee bit obsessed with deer hunting right now.  I mean at this moment, we’re watching freaking Ted Nugent’s Spirit of the Wild!  Anyway, I handed over the remote tonight and was hit with this beauty of an intro to a hunting show…

Seriously.  I mean, seriously.  At first, I started to giggle…and then I think my mouth just hung open.  What’s most hilarious about this is that MY HUSBAND WATCHES THIS!!

I do have better things to blog, but I had to share this tonight   Please have a Safe and Happy New Year!

I know the blog’s been a bit off topic lately, but I just cannot resist posting this.  I may need to apoligize in advance for my sense of humor, but this is just TOO GOOD to pass up on.  My friend, Kim, just brought this blog to my attention and I’ve just spent the past 15 minutes reading with my mouth hanging open and almost peeing my pants from laughing so hard.  I must share…it’s just too good.  Here’s a sample from my new favorite blog, Cake Wrecks….

You really must go read the blog because the commentary is funnier than the pictures!  Okay, I’m off to finish editing and I promise I’ll be posting session images soon. 

Some of my Flickr friends have been posting funny cartoon versions of themselves created on faceyourmanga.com, so I thought I’d join the fun.  Yesterday this was the Kelly cartoon I created:

I don’t know…it just doesn’t look like me, does it?  I tried to emphasize the square jaw, small eyes, and big lips, but it’s still not quite right.  Maybe it’s the nose.

So today I had a little “me time” and got my hair colored and whacked off at the salon.  I thought maybe I should go ahead and created another Kelly cartoon…

This isn’t *quite* what my hair looks like (little more blond, little less red) and my nose is still not right, but it was fun anyway.  Another fun thing I did awhile back was create a Celebrity Look Alike Collage from myheritage.com.  This was a fun little experiment!  Check it out!

Isn’t it hilarious that I most look like a Japanese woman?  I can definitely see the resemblance with Queen Latifah though!  :)  I also did this Celebrity Morph…freaky!

This is an email from my friend Heather that I always keep in my inbox.  I must refer to it every once in awhile when I’m taking myself too seriously.  This is totally US when we were in high school and college.  Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever grow up.  I’m sure my mom wonders that sometimes, too. 

I’m also checking to see if Heather checks my blog…I mean what does she do all day but sit around being pregnant?  Leave me a comment if you share my warped sense of humor and if you can come up with #20, since it’s missing.  It’s a challenge…I dare you.
