Happy 2nd Birthday Stuff Portrait Friday!!

Another email I forgot to add. I get this often:

What’s our SPF assignment? You haven’t updated the SPF page yet.

Yeah, Yeah…I know. My mom said I’ll be late for my own funeral. God, I hope she’s wrong, cause that would be so gross.

I thought everyone knew how to play Stuff Portrait Friday until the other day when my in-real-life (shut up, I have a few!) Kristie said, “Where do you go to see all the pictures from SPF?” I wasn’t sure what she meant. “Huh?” (that’s what I sound like when I’m confused)
“Where do you see all the pictures? People leave comments that say, I PLAYED, but I don’t know where to go to see the pictures…”

WELL DUH! *smacking her in the forehead* You click on their names in the comment section and it will take you to their blog where they posted their pictures.

I figured since we’ve been playing this every Friday for the last TWO YEARS that everyone knew how to play. See what I get for thinking?

The history of SPF.

(i’m going on memory here because it would be totally hard for me to find all the posts and how it started…and blogger ate a bunch of my posts when I moved out. It’s cool though, I got the Nirvana and Dr. Hook CDs.)

Someone said, “Show me what’s in your fridge”
I thought, ‘hey that sounds fun. everyone take a picture of what’s in your fridge and post it this Friday. After you post your picture let me know so I can check it out.’

I picked Friday because Mihow.com ran “Self Portrait Thursdays” and I was really excited when she started the page. *rubbing fingernails on my non-existent collar* Yeahhhhh, I was profiled the in the FIRST official batch of pictures back in 2005. *cough* not that I’m braggin’ or anythang. Hmmmm? oh yeah, I didn’t want to take away from the Thursday thing..so the most logical day was FRIDAY.
Anyway, after the first ‘hey post a picture of your fridge’, Shaun said, “That was cool, you should do it every Friday and call it STUFF Portrait Friday.” He made a banner and VIOLA! SPF was born.

This month SPF turned two years old. We didn’t celebrate last year because spf was teething and it just didn’t seem to be the time to pull out cake and presents. (Yeah, I forgot it was SPF’s birthday last year — DON’T YOU JUDGE ME!)

This year, SPF…lets go back to our roots and remember where we came from: Go open your fridge, stand in front of it and flash me a two finger salute.

If you are one of the cool, mysterious people that goes by cool nick names that I can’t remember and never post pictures of yourself because you’re in the blogger witness protection plan…take a picture of your fridge with SOMETHING that shows us TWO.

Got it? FRIDGE, SELF, TWO. All in one picture. It’s easy, even the dog could do it. Of course, I don’t know how he would set the timer on the camera without thumbs.

Yes, I’m medicated.
