Moving!

We're packing up and moving to the new house in the morning...hope to be up and running again this weekend, but can't promise to post more news until da' Momma leaves! And I may not have internet (stolen or otherwise) for a little bit. But, in the famous words of Michele's former and Nicole's current governator, I'll be back!

Selling yourself in photographs

While reading other people's blogs, I came across the Mosaic Maker for Flickr. Now I'm very proud to present the outcome of a half-hour's search through other people's photos for my soul...

1. Ryan McGinness, 2. Garlic, 3. Baddesley Clinton, 4. Green Tea Sunset, 5. ryan, 6. coffee & the city, 7. Acrophobic mountain climber.., 8. mmmummm..mummm...mmmmummmmumumum, 9. Day 106 - I am a librarian, 10. Still in love? I think so ; ), 11. This is becoming a habit, 12. Sgt. Pookah Hodge

Basically, the outcome is a result of a meme from PilgrimGirl, the instructions of which are as follows:

"If you want to play too, type your answer to each of the questions below into a Flickr search. Using only the first page, choose your favorite image, then copy and paste each of the URL’s into the mosaic maker (3 columns, 4 rows)."

And the questions are...

1. What is your first name? (Ryan)

2. What is your favorite food? (garlic)

3. What high school did you attend? (Clinton)

4. What is your favorite color? (orange)

5. Who is your celebrity crush? (Ryan Gosling)

6. Favorite drink? (tea)

7. Dream vacation? (hiking)

8. Favorite dessert? (ice cream)

9. What do you want to be when you grow up? (writer)

10. What do you love most in life? (love)

11. One word to describe you. (driven)

12. Your Flickr name. (Pookah)

For your consideration

My friend, Akoua (see her Blog), is volunteering in Lesotho for the Peace Corps and I invite you to take a look at her Uncle Matt's charity webpage (Bike For Beds). He is attempting to raise money for hospital beds for the hospital with which Akoua works. I promise not to think you're a horrible person for not supporting his efforts, but it is a charity which will be donating ALL proceeds to the hospital. And it doesn't take much in this case to make a difference. Please consider donating.
