Strike a Pose
Okay, so I’m not as cute as this kid. But, I am taking photos while at the RWA national conference in Orlando.
I also forgot the little wire thingy that hooks my camera up to my computer. :/
So…photos to come next week!

Can’t Live With It, Can’t Live Without it
While the second part of today’s title isn’t exactly true, it is why I’m posting late today and taking the day off.
What’s going on, you ask?
Internet issues. *Insert sound of grumbling here*
I’ll be back tomorrow!
