phoning it in | 5 Random ...

After spending a day using only my cell phone camera while visiting my sister

it struck me that there must be room for at least one day dedicated to cell-pics.

"phone it in Friday" has a nice ring to it.
Who knows, maybe I'll even get around to putting them on Instagram - maybe.

My sister has a different phone than I - a Samsung Galaxy or something 

and it takes a.maz.ing pictures 

Well, correction 

- SHE takes amazing pictures with it. 

(be like saying my Nikon takes amazing pictures when in reality it would sit on its arse day in and day out if I didn't at least show up and push the buttons
- so all you photography aficionados don't get your panties in a knot...)

[show-off]

I'm thinking it is time to take this iPhone 5 and kick it in gear.  Perhaps with practice I too can take some amazing stuff.  (don't get me wrong - I get it right sometimes - just not with any regularity.)


[like this one below - totally nailed it - well, actually mother nature did the work - I just showed up and pushed a button.]

Since it is still January, I can address resolutions/word choices/goals; 

and since it is a Friday - I can be random about it
(which I would have been anyway - but this way I can link-up) 

so:

1) I gave up diet coke on January 1st. 16 days under my belt and gallons of water later - I mostly don't miss it.
 Artificial sweeteners are next. 

2) If I were to pick a word for this year (which many people do to inspire and motive through the year) - it would be "go". I need to break from my routine and do it more. Go for it. Go get it. Go do something different; go somewhere different; go upstairs and get to work; just GO... 

3) I give good advice. I follow none of it. Okay, maybe some of it - but too often when I rehash an event in my mind, one of my shoulders speaks up and says "well, that could have gone better..." and it occurs to me that if I had heeded my own advice, my other shoulder might have spoken up and said "good job! Mother Teresa would have been proud."
- or something like that. 

4) I wish 'Clean-Sweep' was still on TV and they picked my house and came in and basically biOtch-slapped me into getting rid of all the crap stuff in my closets/drawers/under beds/behind doors/boxes.

Crap - someone call Hoarders - I am positive I qualify for that show.  (it is still in production, right?)

5)  When I get sick I do not do it half-assed.  I've got the cough of a 50 year smoker and sound like a waitress at a truckstop.  On the upside - I can now add truckstop waitress to my list of potential employment options.
