Catherine Jamison is like a rock star in the photoblogging community. I joined in one of her Flickr groups and every picture I submit, she selects as a FAVE of hers. That alone makes me all warm and fuzzy to have this talented photographer like something of mine. Catherine has been commissioned to write a book on photoblogs so she started another photoblog site where she draws from Flickr. I decided to check in on that blog the other day and was shocked to see one of my photos front and center with a little blurb based on what I wrote as a comment about that particular picture. Too cool<\/p>\n
My Flickr addiction is still raging. Last weekend I took a few photos of the kids Monika’s graduation party (wife of Jim from work) so I have been feeding my blog and flickr with people pictures for a change. Getting lots of nice feedback.<\/p>\n
Yesterday at work, there was meeting for the webcommitee of the Women’s Leaders in Action that I am part of. There was a new girl joining up. She works in AI doing label design but is fresh out of school with a passion for multimedia. We talked a few minutes after the meeting. I think this meeting gave me the fire to get my focus back on track and to quit wasting so much time. She is stuck in AI for the next 9 months but after that she could give me a run for my money. I sent her a link to my website as she did hers. After initially meeting her I was a little threaten that she will be after my job but after seeing her site which wasn’t horrible by any means, it did ease my mind a bit.<\/p>\n
She sent me an email after I sent her my link with a lot of exclaimation marks. I think it was sincere (I could see her passion showing) and not just a brown nose note. We will be getting together soon to talk about all things multimedia and art. At the very least she will keep me on my toes.<\/p>\n

My feet hurt; in 3 different ways. On the left foot is my suspected heel spur that really only gives me problems first thing in the morning. On the right foot I have ankle pain. 15 years ago I fell down a stair in my old Chicago apartment and I suspected I cracked the bone. I never went to a doctor for it (couldn’t have a cast on my driving foot).<\/p>\n
On and off since then I get sharp ankle pain. While it might be connected to that old break, I really suspect (there I go suspecting again) that this is gout I am experiencing. The third problem is the ball of my foot on my right side. I suspect bad shoes and obesity are to blame there.<\/p>\n
RAW has been complaining about foot problems too so now I have to find a podiatrist for both of us so I can quit “suspecting”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
