Photo Hunt, #2: Flexible



So, the theme for today is “Flexible.” I thought and thought and couldn’t remember a photo I have that would represent that well. So, since John was home the other day, I tried to talk him into letting me set up the tripod in the bedroom, and… well, anyway, he was very adamant that I was not going to be doing anything of the sort. He didn’t even care that I had important homework to do!

So, I had to set it up where he couldn’t see.

But, darn! All the pics came out poorly lit, so I had to hunt through my old photos after all.

I don’t currently have a scanner, so I had to resort to taking a picture of a picture. *ashamed*

Theme for November 10th, 2007: Flexible


Flexible

While not the most flexible pose I’ve ever struck (I used to be able to put both feet behind my head simultaneously, for example), this looks like something I’d have a hard time doing now.

Because I’ve gotten WAY TOO stiff and lazy lately. I seriously need to hit the Yoga again, people.

Anyway, the picture was taken at Fort Macon in Atlantic Beach, NC. Back in May of 1997. Woo, doggies! That’s 10 years younger. Look at that youthful so and so. She has no idea, man.

Hey! Hey, you! Little girl in the window! One day your boobahs are going to remind you of a sock with an orange in it!

That’ll teach her to sit there so happy looking. Hmph.

    LOL at the tripod.

    Silly question, but are your time date settings correct? Because your haiku friday is actually posted on a Thursday and you don’t have a friday post.

    I just saw it and wondered if your settings needed tweaking.

    Welcome (one week late) to the Photo Hunt:)

    As pictures of pictures go, that’s pretty good! Shame about the tripod shots :)

    November 10, 2007
  • That actually doesn’t look like a picture of a picture – you didn’t need to rat yourself out!

  • Liza

    That’s ok, the picture turned out well anyway. Mine is up, hope you’ll have time to visit. Happy weekend :)

    Okay so now I am seriously green with jealousy. I’ve never been able to do something like this, even BEFORE the girls.
    ***sigh***

  • SnoopyTheGoon

    Wow, that was cool. And re them poorly lit shots – don’t worry, publish and we’ll manage with Photoshop ;-)

    I need to hit the Yoga again, too… in all aspects of life! Amazing how it can get away with you when you push a baby out of your vagina!

    Help me get back to it, maybe it will help you to? Maybe you and I should head up some kind of Yoga Bloga Challenge!?!?

    Oh and great pic for the theme! :GUUUUUSHH:

    I was in dance for eight years and could hardly do that! Dang! Even with the socks and oranges, I’m sure she’s happier now! ;-) ha!

  • ME!

    Again You amaze me.. I am laughing yet again! the boobs LOL!!!

    November 10, 2007
  • I hear you about the socks/oranges remark! I used to have great boobs until I nursed 3 kids, 2 1/2 year each (well, the last one was pushing 3+).

    The things we give up for our children, huh?

    My husband would have jumped at the tripod suggestion – would have thought he died and went to heaven! haha

    Abe-hap – No, they really do remind me of that. Maybe a grapefruit, even.

    Janet – thanks!

    Katney – thank you, it was a fun time.

    Sarah – you stole them from me?

    Natalie – Not anymore, man. I cry if I have to bend over to pick something up.

    Wilson – Thanks… I’ll try to make time.

    Dragonheart – appreciate it!

    Veronica – I didn’t notice until you pointed it out. It’s WRONG. I post EVERY DAY. I most certainly did NOT post my Haiku Friday on Thursday, and I’m SEVERLY upset at Blogger right now. There’s no way for me to prove I’m a valid member of NaBloYourHos now. *cries* (My setting are already correct, btw. I checked)

    A – thanks, I’m enjoying it!

    Dawn – damn my need for full disclosure!

    Liza – thanks, I tried really hard to make it look acceptable.

    Angie – well, I could never do a backflip, so at least I wasn’t total gymnastics ho.

    tegdirb92 – thanks! Wish I was still so limber….

    Snoopythegoon – LMAO

    Secret Agent Mama – I’m afraid to start any more challenges, lest Blogger find some way to MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I FAILED.

    *seething with anger*

    Mishi – hahaha

    Reenblack – but I bet you could totally shake your thang without looking like a nerd. Which I have never accomplished. And yes, she is WAY happier!

    Me! – I’m glad you can laugh at my saggy tits!

    Angie – it wasn’t so much the tripod thing as the showing the pictures to everyone online. *slaps knee*

    great shot. don’t worry, i’ve never been that flexible. and i will have no problems nursing my next child from across the room!

  • Veronica

    Stupid blogger! Maybe if you emailed the NaBloMeHo person and explained it would help?

  • andrea_frets

    Great photo! And the tripod? Hysterical!!

    November 10, 2007
  • Karen MEG

    Too bad about the lighting, you tease.
    But you are very flexible in that shot. Lucky hubby.

    November 10, 2007
  • Bren

    That’s a cool picture! I don’t think I could have done that 10 years ago!

  • Lisa Milton

    But you’ve got something, post-baby that youthful chick hasn’t, and I don’t mean the Christmas morning stocking thing. I imagine you are far more flexible, relaxed since you became a Mom. I know I am. They have wore me down.

  • Secret Agent Mama

    booooooo!! Challenges Motivate!
