As always in this feature I am interested in your latest uploads in the Fuelmyblog’s Flickr Group.

The beauty about taking pictures is to immortalise what has moved us for a split second, what has made us stop in our tracks, admire and made us grab the moment.

For Rembeatz it was this contrasting Christmas decoration, 70Steen got inspired by her Christmas tree in its bare element  -  as for Richard he caught once again the amazing chemistry of light supplied by magical Vendee.

Olga had to stop in order  to fill her bra with extra snow in California and Claire at the right place at the right time managed this amazing picture of a lonely silhouette emerging from the sea.

In the mad rush leading up to Christmas, you all stepped out of your mission zone and took a minute or two to take notice of your surroundings and enjoy the present moment.

Keep uploading, whatever inspired you or will inspire you I am looking forward to catching a glimpse of your world  and I hope others will too in 2009 ;)

I have been home for 2 days already and the holiday in Greece seems like a long time ago!

It was great to switch off and I now feel refreshed which gives me the advantage to see Fuelmyblog with new eyes (well almost).

Ideas for Fuel are flooding in and I am ready to put them into action!

I spent most of yesterday catching up on blogs that I had not had a chance to read while I was away, everyone has been very prolific and I still have a lot to catch up on and more blogs to visit.

I visited Tri4Joe this am to check out how Matt did with the Ironman triathlon and was very pleased to see that he completed it in an amazing 10hrs46mins! It felt right to make it blog of the day!

I popped over to Olga yesterday and was alarmed to see that she had been Bra-napped! I am seriously worried about her, first being subjected to DP’s treatment and now this!

Olga won my Greek holiday Tat btw, Dimitrios (the Greek doll) is on his way now and has been briefed so all I can say to the bra-nappers out there is: watch out!

I also visited Fracas, she is such a prolific blogger, she has written no less than 999 posts! I cannot wait to read post 1000, I am expecting a full display of bras and shoes in true Fracas style!

RegularJen also caught my attention, her blog has been revamped and it looks really good! It really emphasizes the great photographer that she is.

I must get back to my catching up mission but I will be back with more news from the Fuelmyblog users soon.

Bye for now x

The old saying goes, that no one on their death bed ever looks back on their life and wishes they’d worked more, been more serious, spent less time with their loved ones or friends, or laughed less. So I frac around.

Today, fraccing around found me…

…blaming Kevin for the atrocities of the world.

Just as many of you clicked the little box to receive the fuelmyblog newsletter, so too, did I. Well I’ve been a wee bit busy lately, and so I hadn’t checked my mail for a couple of days. A few minutes ago, I was happily reading about all the newest happenings over here, and I came to the end… and a little tidbit that had me doing a bit of unexpected lol-ing.

It was this:

“Last week, Kevin tried to contact everyone through the leaving comments section on the site. A few people have reported him as an abuser, we can assure you he isn’t, just trying to find better ways of communicating rather than via email :-)

Let us know if you thought it was out of order, we’ll punish him and make him apologise in video.”

Poor Kevin. I saw that message. In fact, you can too. I’m sharing mine, because, well… I just like to share.

See that part where the name is? It says Kevin Dixie. When you see that in your vote summary, and click it… it opens up to the page that shows none other than fuelmyblog’s blog listing. Why? Well, um, because you see… Kevin and Sylvie Dixie are actually, the folks behind fuelmyblog. As a fuelmyblog member, I know when I see “Kevin_Dixie” in the vote summary, that I’ve just received a vote from the big cheese. And I’m certainly not going to complain about that.

But you know, since they’ve offered him up for some live video apologies, I was thinking that maybe there are other things we could blame him for. I think it might be a bit of fun, an after all, he is a pretty easy going fella, so I bet he won’t even mind.

I’m going to start the list and encourage the rest of you to add to it in the comments. What would you like Kevin to take the blame and apologize for? I think the following are all Kevin’s fault, and I won’t rest until I see live video of him taking full responsibility!

1. Paris Hilton – No explanation is necessary. Someone has to be at fault, why not Kevin?
2. Extinction of the Western Black Rhinocerous – For shame Kevin!
3. Fan Clubs – You know, someone needs to do something about this one… and fast.
4. Global Warming – It’s about time he fixed it because my weather has sucked this winter. Geez already Kevin.
5. Gravity – I’m sure not all of you will understand this one, but um, Kevin… I’d like my boobs where they used to be before I had kids. I’m really ticked about that one you know. So is Olga. It means she has to work that much harder. Seriously… you owe us both an apology for that.

So Kevin. I, like a good fuelmyblog member, am indeed letting you know that you’re out of order. Not so much for sending us all that little message wrapped up in a freebie vote, but for all these other atrocities. I do hope you’re man enough to take full responsibility and let us know what you’re going to do about each and every problem you’re to blame for.

The old saying goes, that no one on their death bed ever looks back on their life and wishes they’d worked more, been more serious, spent less time with their loved ones or friends, or laughed less.

So I frac around. And though some people might suggest that fraccing around gets a person nowhere, I shall frac around knowing that for some of you, the laugh or smile you enjoy as a result of all this fraccing, might be just as necessary to your well-being at that moment in your day, as a granola bar at three in the afternoon between meetings.

Today, fraccing around found me…

…stumbling across Penfold without clothes! I kid you not. Read the story for yourself…

Tonight I vowed that I would sit down at my computer, and not get up until I’d fueled every single person on that fuelroll in the fracas sidebar. Yes indeed, I did. All 79 of them. Well, given that some of you have more than one blog registered to your username, and if I’ve had a chance to check out that blog I’ll vote for more than one per username, it’s actually more than 79 but hey… who’s counting?

With those of you who do have more than one blog registered, I try to at least check out a couple of the ones I’ve not seen and sometimes I find a real surprise and a gem in a blog you had that I actually find more amusing, appealing, entertaining or useful than the one I did know about.

Such is the case today with Fanton… otherwise known as Lord Likely.

I was checking out his The Best Bit of the Internet, when I found something I totally had to do. I’d wanted to do the virtual snowman maker thing, but the link just wouldn’t have me. Instead, I spent time admiring Olga’s snowy breasts, and settled upon heading over to the site of Mike Whaite, the snowman maker’s creator. Surely I thought, I’d find the snowman maker there. Instead, I found something far better. Far more amusing to this fraccy female who from time to time, loves to poke at and bother all thee who are of the Papersurfer clan.

Penfold… I am deeply sorry (not) but this was just too amusing not to partake. (Click the papersurfer’s hat and the image will open up in full… trust me, you want to see this) I was very polite as I took off your clothes (trying not to look since I’m married and all) and I did originally outfit you in a rather dapper ensemble (if I do say so myself). I can’t say the same for what the others might do to you though. I guess all in all though, it’s a bit of karma for ye who created some naked pictures of me and Daddy Papersurfer in order for John to get a few extra hits.

Those who want to play, please head over to Mike Whaite’s site, click on the “Interactive” link, and choose the avatar to the far left. I guarantee you, it will be an entertaining diversion.
