the power of advertising

(While watching a ProFlowers.com commercial on TV)

Sadie:  "Mommy, those flowers stay fresh and beautiful longer!"
Me:  "Oh really?  Why is that?"
Sadie:  "Because the commercial said so."

I'm pretty sure this is the same reason she MUST have a unicorn pillow pet from Santa...

Gets right to the point, huh?

So yeah, I seem to have a hard time getting pictures off my camera and into cyberspace--it's part of the burden that comes with having a 'nice' camera now:  I take way too many pics, half of them practice ones, and each is over 4 MB in size.  Everytime I download them there are 300+ to weed through and resize/resample before I can upload them to Flickr or Facebook or here.  Long story short, you get a lot of crappy cell phone pics, faithful readers, but not much else.

Well, I'm working on the October pictures as we speak.  Today's feature:  Reid's birthday.  I'm not much of a baker but I did make these cupcakes (from a box mix) and they were damn good.  I also made pulled pork which is not shown here because quite honestly, photos of stringy meat are not appetizing.

Coming soon--Halloween!  Maybe before 2011 if you're lucky!

"Either for mac & cheese or sushi."
