All Star ..237/365
Posted by Christa Watson in My 365 on August 25, 2010
I was walking through Target the other day and stopped at the dollar shelf (what? I find great photo props there) Unfortunately for my cat, they had cute little “Allstar tshirts” for only a buck! -Just a side note, the girlie shirts were much cuter, but I could never immaculate Mack like that…- Today I threw it on for a test run. It didn’t really fit, but it sure as hell made me laugh. Can you see the “I hate you mom” look in his eyes?

And although I’m obviously a photographer and not great with videos, yet, I couldn’t resist it:

Primaries …236/365

Today Floridian voters went to the polls to see who would be the republican and democrat contenders in the 2010 elections. This is a very important election year because whichever party dominates will have control over the once-a-decade redrawing of House district lines. Unfortunately, Rick Scott won in the republican primary for the Governor’s race. I am a bit displeased, to put it lightly (you can see why on my unFanpage)
Here’s a sign I passed by on the way to work:

You Know You’re a Tourist When …235/365

The first time Hubs every came to visit, he made all kinds of comments about the palm trees. After a few trips down, he started to get used to them, but I still think he has a big fascination all the less (just like I do with the terrain up North.)
I thought it would be funny to take a picture of him taking a picture of a palm tree last time he was down. You know you’re a tourist in Florida when…

Come fly …234/365

Come fly the unfriendly skies. We approached some angry clouds on the way into Orlando. It was a bumpy ride.

Uncle Sam wants YOU! …233/365

We went to the Oakwood Cemetary in Troy NY today, where Uncle Sam’s gravesite is located. I thought it would be a nice time for a photo op. The Christa wants YOU to know she’s been here:

Here’s to the new school year and hoping your backpack doesn’t feel like this when you put it on:

Fresh Market …231/365

While in Latham (near Albany, NY) they opened up a Fresh Market in town. I couldn’t believe the amount of people that rushed the store, the parking lot was completely full. I guess I’m used to both Fresh Markets and Whole Foods in Orlando. Now if it was a Trader Joes I could see the attraction!

Pencil Headress …230/365

This colored pencil headress / hat was in a display in our hotel in NYC. Who knows if it’s art or fashion, or both? Looks fun though, you can paint the town red, or yellow, or blue…

Affiliate Superheros …229/365

Today is my last day at Affiliate Summit East 2010. I firmly believe there are super heros of every industry, and my bet is, they look a little something like Mr. ClickBooth here:
