In lieu of all the photo contest craziness going on…well, I’m just going to let the pictures do the talking…cause right now I’m totally creating something for you that will make your holiday drama look like a sweet, innocent little puppy who may or may not have piddled on the carpet…you can’t tell because you’re too distracted from its sticky-sweet cuteness.

We’ll call the forthcoming adventure Festival of Lights from HELL.

PS: VOTE FOR TIM’S MOONSET PICTURE!

Moonset 

Y’all, I totally took this sunset picture…I think. 

Our backyard is pretty much awesome when it comes to sunsets. 

Dear Zion: You’re *almost* worth an affair. Hell, if you’d have me, I’m there…along with the estranged husband. It’s kind of part of the arrangement. And I don’t want to go to jail. 

Oh…and if you haven’t already, PLEASE VOTE for Tim’s moonset picture for Viewer’s Choice in the 2009 National Geographic International Photography Contest. Voting ends on December 4th.

To vote, go here and select the Nature category from the drop down menu.  His photo (moonset) is the third photo that will pop up. Photos are scored 1 – 10, 10 being the highest (ahem…10 is the HIGHEST…)

Why vote? Well, I mean, first of all, he’s the one who never complains when I’m all, I NEED TO BE WITH BOOSHY.

Which really means you.

AND if he wins the Viewer’s Choice, YOU WIN.

So indirectly, this is all for you.

How, you ask? Well……

If you vote, let me know in a comment or email or whatever and if he wins, I’ll send anyone and everyone who claims they voted a”holiday” (Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukkah…if you don’t clarify, you’re getting a Christmas version) card…with a small print of the winning photo.

It’ll be like, a piece of awesomeness to call your own.

He is also in the running for the Capture the Fall contest from the Weather Channel…if you’re in a really gracious mood…

Just remember…relief is coming and its name is Festival of Lights from HELL.
