Day 69: Album Sample

I received a free album sample from a photography expo and...well, I didn't like it. The ordering system was a pain in the ass, and there wasn't anything exceptional about the album itself.

Normally, I would have handed this over to the bride and groom in case one of their relatives wanted it, or something like that. But here's the fun part: The album company printed fake names on one of the spreads. They decided this couple looked like a "Kelly & Mike." Good guess, but no.

DESTINATION: Trash. What a waste -- this could have been used if it weren't for the randomly assigned aliases.

Funny. Mike had his friend send a styrofoam cup down with Alvin in the deep sea. it shrank and he signed it for us: To Kelly and Mike.

a few house rules...

...better known as excuses designed to make our lives easier.

1) If we throw something away on Thursday but don't get a chance to post until Friday, it counts.

2) If we get rid of a few things at once, we can post them one at a time over the next few days. It's our stuff and we want to give it a proper send-off. Besides, we can't tell craigslisters, "Can you come tomorrow instead? We're all blogged-out today."

3) Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and count it as five days' worth. Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and call it one day. Both are fine, because we make the rules.

Rules subject to change when we feel like it.
