I'm SUCH a L.O.S.E.R. | Northern Utah Photographer

    My husband is that guy. That guy who calls into the radio station and wins free concert tickets every time he tries.  That guy who wins free CD's (or did when they were still 'cool').  That guy who wins a free iFlip camera. He calls. He wins. He enters. He wins. I, however, NEVER win.

   I've come to terms with who I am.  Or better yet, what I am.

A   L.O.S.E.R.  

   I can't remember if I've ever mentioned how much of a book worm I am (I know I know, not helping my loser status and I promise it will all make sense in the end).  Well, I am. When my photography business 'slowed' down for the winter last year, I read 22 series.  Not books, series. I simply love to read. All. The. Time. 

  

  If you haven't read any of Maria V. Snyder's books, do it. Now. Turn off your computer. Go to your local library, or grab your kindle, or even just head here to read a free short story. You think I'm kidding, and I'm not. You will thank me for it. I promise.

...You're Welcome...

  Maria Snyder is, without a doubt my favorite author. No one has come close to beating her out in my own personal 'author's hall of fame'. I've read multiple series' of hers, more than once...& I'm just dying for December to get here..the next book of my favorite series is being released.  ;)  

   A few weeks ago on Maria's Facebook page, she asked what her fans' favorite short story was and why.  She was going to pick winner's to give her book series too. Yes, I've already own them all. Yes, I still answered.

   Guess what?  I won.

  Now, you're probably thinking, okay weirdo, this does not qualify to un-loser you. That's okay. Not only did I win, but I won one of my all time favorite book series.  To me, that is a HUGE, and a very exciting thing. I'm half tempted to buy some of those 3D display boxes, hang them on my living room wall, with giant vinyl above them that says, 'Yeah...I WON'.

   In all reality, I won't go to that extreme (because I'm sure my husband would leave immediately after seeing them and come right back home with divorce papers) but I will likely display them in my home somewhere. :) 

This post really has no big point. I just had to share with someone who cares (or maybe you don't)  that I finally won...Watch out world...My 'loser' status is slowly changing.  ;)
