It's a "Take it Easy Friday", and I thought what better way to relax then to let my ego go and show bad pictures of myself.
This first picture is a great picture of my bird, Sunny. He thinks everything I own is a perfect landing platform, including hats and, occasionally, my nose.
I, however, look like an eyeless yokel who is about to spit. "Pi-tooey!"
For my second exhibit, we have a picture taken by the Silly Boyfriend. Like my bird, he is usually unconcerned about my ego. This is why he uses every chance he gets to take bad pictures of me.
I've decided that in this picture, I look like a "Speak No Evil" statue. And could the Silly Boyfriend have gotten a more close up picture of the bags under my eyes? He probably could, so every time he reaches for my camera, I slap him. I would not recommend doing this to your boyfriend, unless he really, really deserves it. If you are not of the right gender or persuasion to have a boyfriend, then watch out. There are probably people just itching to slap you.
And finally, I have a none-egotistical revelation. There is a function on most phones called T-9. Apparently most human beings and some small rodents know about this application. I didn't know about this until today. So for the past eons of my life, I have been creating text messages using three key taps for every letter I write. I am ashamed to admit how many minutes of my life I have wasted this way.
Oh, but I hate T-9. I tried using it but it starts to make up words that I don't want to use, and then I can't make it change! I still do it the old fashioned way. I feel your pain on the boyfriend taking crappy pictures thing. Mine is the worst. Great blog.

Hi MJ,
Thanks for stopping by. I checked out your blog too. Cute picture of the beggin' kitty.
Are boyfriends the bane of all our existences? I'm not sure. I'm just asking.

Love the bird- I want a bird (preferably a Moluccan cockatoo) so badly. I probably won't ever have the moolah to get one, but I've worked with them before a love them!

Hey Colby,
I love all birds. But let me give a testimonial to parakeet ownership:
1. Parakeets make small messes. (Big birds make, well, you know.)
2. Parakeets make a cute skittering sound when they waddle across your keyboard.
3. Even when Parakeets are their loudest, the neighbors don't complain.
4. When you put a parakeet in a dark space, they automatically get quiet and go to sleep. (You can't buy that kind of control in over parts of your life.)
5. Parakeets are the cutest, sweetest, friendliest, most loyal, blessed-from-heaven birds that exist on the planet. (Sunny made type that.)
6. And finally, Parakeets cost like twenty bucks each.

You didn't know about T-9?? I feel like a failure as a friend for not making sure you knew about T-9. T-9 makes texting bearable.
Wow, what else have a failed you on? Do you know about the fast-scroll on Digital Cable? Do you know about the Gmail quick search? Do you know about programming your DVR from work?
Geez. I hang my head in shame this day.

Bethany.
I was completely and utterly T-9 clueless. And it is all your fault. But it's my boyfriend's fault too.
As for the other items you are afraid I don't know about:
1. Digital Cable - I don't own that cause I'm a cheap skate.
2. GMail Quick Search - I do know SOME things. This is one of them.
3. DVR Programing - Let me repeat, I don't own that cause I'm a cheap skate.
