random morning surprises...

Well this is kind of strange. I came across two startling things already in the short 12 minutes that I've been awake.

Firstly, when I was taking a new roll of TP out of our bathroom basket, I was greeted by a big black cricket sitting right on the roll and I held it up to tear some off. I kinda freaked out - shook it to the floor and and to take a second to process what just happened. Ha.

But then I came out and looked at my emails (my normal morning ritual of checking emails before even getting dressed, providing no other cars are in the driveway when I leave my room), and discovered something from a lady named Emma Williams from Schmap. The subject says "[Flickr] Schmap: New Zealand Photo Short-List". I almost deleted it but it carried too much information that is actually familiar to me, considering the photo site I used while in NZ to publish stuff for my friends back home was definitely Flickr.

In the email, I was informed that one of my photos was short-listed to be included in Shmap's second edition New Zealand Guide. If I wanted to submit my photo, "click here" and said that although I don't get cash for it, I will still have my name credited to the photo, as long as I give a name. So I gave my actual legal name - Jacqueline Fleet (rather than Kiwi Jaqs, which was what was already attached to it) and submitted it. Apparently I'll receive an email if my photo makes it into the actual final publication of the guide.

Pretty neat, eh?

Just thought I'd write about it now, before I lost the mini-excitement.

Oh P.S. here's the picture...
