Moments

I had a moment tonight that I thought I'd share.

I was living social media.

Yes, LIVING it.

I was dancing around in my living room to music while taking pictures of my dog while a cake baked in the oven.



Nothing special you say? Well what if I told you:

The music I was listening to came from the Cheap Easy Show by Michael Nolan, a friend I've come to know on Twitter. Hot damn that was a lot of fun! I'm going to download previous podcasts to my iPod for when boredom strikes at work.

I was taking pictures with my new external flash because my blog friend Andy of Yellow Wood Photography sent me an email a little over a year ago asking why I wasn't selling my pictures. And now he's put in motion my quest to become a photographer, which is why I broke down and finally bought an external flash. Woo baby. I can't believe I didn't own one until today!

And the cake? The cake is from a Robin at Bumblebeeblog.com - Buttermilk Chocolate Chip cake (aka Yum Yum Cake). I read the recipe last October and was reminded of it yesterday. (I got the chance to meet Robin at Spring Fling in Chicago in May and she's just as lovely in person as she is online.)

A confluence of social media right there in my living room and kitchen.

And yes, I did have the cake for dinner.

These are the moments, folks.
