Florida Supercon 2013

We had a great time at FSC last weekend and a good visit with my sister Vera ...

On Friday we went in zombie costume and got lots of attention throughout the day.

Melissa - Tom - Vera

The people at  FDSedano Arts  even put us on their facebook page.

Gentleman Baby Comics  did too !

We got photos with Laurie Holden, Chandler Riggs, Addy Miller, Theodus Crane, and Travis Love...

and George Takei.

Although traffic and parking were terrible on Saturday, and it took us 3 hours to get there... 

it was totally worth it to get those pics!

Getting ready for Supercon...

Today we will be trashing our clothes for Supercon.

I am very happy that Vera was able to find us some partially destroyed jeans at the Thrift Store... half the work has been done for us already.

It's going to be a fun day!

And then tonight we're going to Longhorn for steak!

On June 26th...

1948 – Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" is published in the New Yorker magazine.
1963 – U.S. President John F. Kennedy gave his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech.
1971 – Mr. and Mrs. Steve Cvitonavich have a baby girl. 


The number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 was Carole King's "It's Too Late/I Feel the Earth Move"

Supercon Countdown! 12 days to go!

Today I purchased our photo-ops with George Takei, Chandler Riggs and Laurie Holden.

Those photos will be posted here in about 12 days... :D

I am very excited and a little nervous.

I hope we have time to do all the things we want to do on Saturday. 2 photo-ops plus a Q&A with George Takei and another one with Laurie Holden. And maybe even another one with Travis Love & Theodus Crane...

On Friday we are going in zombie costume...

It's going to be SO much fun! 

Wings Over Homestead (Nov. 2010)

We went to the Wings Over Homestead airshow in 2010 and saw the Blue Angels.

 I do love the sun flares that my camera captures.

 Plane vs Car

 Every now and then I get lucky with a shot at an airshow.

 Sometimes I even get lucky twice.

In October of 2008 I took a trip to New Orleans

But if you look at my pictures it mostly looks like Lauren went to New Orleans and I tagged along as her personal photographer.

I guess I wasn't over my not wanting to be in pictures phase yet...

:)

Aww...

I just found the 2 oldest pictures I think I have of my beautiful girl... she was just a baby.

Tired today...

Just got home from work. Orion is asleep and Tom is busy doing his afternoon workout. Trying to decide what I might want for dinner while I wait for him to finish.

The Walking Dead location photo comparisons.

Testing images.

Our lil monster climbing the walls to get the dot.

The Walking Dead - Senoia, GA

The first weekend in May I went on vacation. During that vacation we took a trip to Senoia, GA to visit some of the filming locations from season 3 of The Walking Dead.

 Me and Vera at the Woodbury Town Hall

 At the Governor's house.

 I am *very* happy to be in this little town.

 The Woodbury Shoppe

 In Morgan's apartment from the "Clear" episode.

The Governor's trucks and buses.

I think I broke my website...

I have been neglecting my website for over a year and yesterday I decided I would start working on it again and I think I broke my photo album.

So until I get that sorted out I guess I'll be posting pictures here.

My first tattoo. May 30, 2013

 Here we are at Tattooed Theory in Hialeah, FL about to get my first tattoo. 

I am just a little nervous before getting started.

 Heather started with a short line just to show me what to expect. 

She told me it would feel like someone scratching a sunburn, and that's exactly how it felt.

 It's not that bad... I think I can do this!

 The worst part was being still for more than an hour.

I can't usually keep my legs still for more than a few minutes. 

I had to concentrate very hard on not moving.

 Outline is done and we're taking a short break before coloring him in.

 He's all done, and he's awesome.

Thanks to CreateMyTattoo.com I got just the design I wanted.

I am very happy with how it turned out and I am already planning my next tattoo!

4 and a half hours until kick-off of the All SEC, BCS National Championship Game. University of Alabama vs LSU.  I'm soooo excited!  Roll Tide!

Getting out for some air...

I took a walk over to Pasion del Cielo this morning... having a latte and croissant for breakfast.  I might make this my regular Friday thing again...

New year... new me... new attitude...

2011 was both good and bad for me. I lost 30 pounds and so far I am doing a good job of keeping it off.

I bought a Wii and we got Wii Fit Plus, so that should help.

I had a short battle with depression and so far I seem to have won.

I've decided to try and keep up with my 365 Project again this year, and I figured I might as well give the blogging thing a go again too...

Most days there won't be much more than a link to a photo or something similar... but I'll try to update something here every day.

I know no one is reading it... it's for me mostly. I just want to stay focused on positive things and moving forward.

Happy New Year!



This was taken during the neighborhood fireworks display. The air was thick with smoke and Tom was playing with his laser. My cat was inside hiding behind the couch and none of us got hit by stray bullets. I think that was a pretty good start to 2012.
