What’s with everyone going on vacation this week?

by

A few people I know are on vacation this week. My brother is in Mexico and and so is another girlfriend of mine and another friend took a trip to Florida. It figures … just when it starts to get cold and rainy here in Toronto several people I know head off to warm places. Sigh!

Actually … one of my friends is on a scuba diving trip and she sent an email the other day with a few pictures that she took underwater. I’m a photographer as well so loved seeing the images she sent.

In her email she also told me about a new toy that she was going to try on her next dive – they’re liquid image summit series goggles and they’re basically diving goggles that allow you to film your dive. Pretty cool! I’m waiting to hear back from her so I can find out how it worked.

Have you gone on a vacation recently or are you going on a vacation? I won’t be going on one anytime soon even though I’d love to!





My new cellphone is here – Nokia N8

by

I finally got a new cellphone! The last time I got a new cellphone was in 2006 and that was from a marketing company so I was more than a little overdue for a new phone.

It’s a Nokia N8 and so far it seems to be pretty nice. It’s fully loaded with all kinds of things including and FM radio and a 12 megapixel Camera and Camcorder and maps. I’m still discovering everything about it as I’ve only had the phone since Monday. The only other phone that I really considered was the htc incredible s virgin but the Nokia N8 won out, likely because of the camera capabilities seeing as I’m a photographer.

I tested out the camera earlier today and it works very nicely. I’m still getting used to since I’m so used to my much larger “real” camera, but I think I’ll have fun comparing the picture quality between my 8 mpg Camera and my new Cellphone.

What am I going to do with my crazy dog?

by

OMG my dog is driving me crazy today! We just went outside with her an hour ago where she frolicked in the backyard making what I call “doggy snow angels” by rolling in the snow and of course relieving herself and now .. well … now she’s at the front door ringing the bell we having hang there asking to go out every five minutes.

Trouble is … I don’t believe she really has to go out. I was just up looking out the front window and my dog is such a smarty pants that now she probably thinks that I’m watching for someone to either come and visit or come and deliver something so she wants me to open the front door so that she can see out too. LOL Uh huh … she doesn’t really want to go outside, she just wants to see outside or to see whatever I’m looking at.

It always seems like my dog clues into what’s going on. I got out the video camera earlier and tried to video tape her doing her crazy jumping up and down when she wants me to slide her bone across the floor at her and of course she started acting up and barking like crazy which she normally doesn’t do … so that video tape which has some excellent jumping will have to have the audio removed! Crazy dog!

Speaking of crazy! I saw this guy earlier today when I was out shopping that was just covered in tattoos from the top of his head to well .. I think probably to his feet. I’d bet that even the best tattoo removal cream wouldn’t put a dent in his tattoos. LOL It looked amazing though! Not my taste of course.

So do you have a crazy dog that acts up when he or she sees you looking outside or sees you with a camera in your hand?

A quiet New Year’s eve and start to the year

Happy New Year!

I just realized that I didn’t write a New Years post to thank my regular readers and visitors for visiting this blog in 2009! Thank you for sticking around and leaving comments and being faithful visitors. I hope that my posts continue to entertain you in 2010.

So how did you celebrate New Years?

My husband and I had a quite evening. We’d had three rounds of guests in our house from the 20th of December through to the 31st and a family wedding, so once the last of our guests were safely on an airplane home we went into relaxation mode.

We had a nice dinner on New Years eve, followed much later by a glass of wine and a piece of Chocolate Fudge cheesecake at Midnight on New Years. During the evening we watched two movies that I’d taped earlier and then caught the tail end of Toronto’s New Years eve televised celebration just in time for the count down to midnight.

We spent Saturday and most of Sunday relaxing. I think we’re finally rested up and recovered from the holidays or at least I hope we are!

We hadn’t been planning to do anything over the weekend at all, but late yesterday afternoon we ran into one of our neighbors and they invited us in to have a drink for New Years and to see their latest renovations. They’d just finished redoing their kitchen and man, am I jealous! It’s beautiful and oh, they put in double copper sinks! I love the look of them! It seems like our neighbors are starting off the new year just right.

So … what did you do for New Years? Did you get together with friends and family or did you just have a quiet evening at home?

Shop and Confess Contest – $33,000 in prizes!

by

I’ve just learned of an interesting contest contest being held by ebillme.com, the company that makes it easy to do your online shopping with cash instead of using credit cards.

So what is this contest all about? Well, they want you to submit either a video or a text shopping confession. It seems like a fun contest and they sure have a lot of great prizes! They are giving away $1,500 every month and have a grand prize of $15,000! Imagine what you could do with either of those cash prizes!

Just get creative and either make a video or write an article about an interesting shopping experience. Perhaps the time you secretly bought a gift for a loved one and how you surprised them with it? Maybe a story about buying your wedding dress or getting an engagement ring for your fiancee? Use your imagination – I’m sure you have an interesting shopping confession to talk about.

Here – take a look at this video for contest details:

What are you waiting for? Go register for the contest and PLEASE do me a favor and tell them blog.triciaswaterdragon.com referred you! I can win a prize if I’m able to refer a lot of people, but you need to tell them my site address! Thanks!
