When AG Seeks To Be In Charge

For those of you who know, and by that I mean truly know the spirit of Adorable Girlfriend, you can concur that I adore photographs. I am particularly enthralled with black and white photographs that capture moments between humans without the messiness that color unscrupulously affords. Color reflects the realities and imperfections of life and personally, I think we could all use a little less of that from time to time.
While I can spend countless hours reviewing or taking photographs, I do not enjoy turning the camera around. I know, unlike a certain dating site’s general population, I am not taking any mirror photos of myself anytime soon. Nonetheless, I love photographs and when I say love, think bird’s nest, wine, and romantic overtures. So much that I went on a date once with someone who wrote two books on photography. Though I was not interested in him per se, I wanted the insider scoop on photography and was willing to see him several more time strictly for the way he talked to a shutter and would get her to talk back.
Why am I pontificating about photography, anyway? Well, because I want to be the ChargHER at BlogHER 2010 next month in New York City. Why me? Again, going back to the photography fetish – I am a single woman. (It’s true if you are me and have yet to stand under the chuppah.) While this may mean a lot of things the most important might arguably the proof that is found behind the doors of my refrigerator. Generally the shelves and drawers of my fridge contain a mere four items:
1. Nail Polish
2. Diet sodas
3. Wine
4. Batteries
Bah. Who needs food in her fridge when you can shop the French way and live off of local produce delivered to your home weekly through the CSA program and order out Thai food at the click of a button on your iPhone, anyway? There amongst the dying nail polish and expensive wine bottles, perches the battery colony. A colony that is united it its front to confuse and confine me. I know this because despite what the Energizer Bunny says, eventually they do indeed stop coming. To the rescue that is, you dirty birds!
I probably have close to 40 batteries in my fridge at any given time from AAAs to Cs. I need them for three things:
1. The remote control collections
2. The flashlight I can never find in the light, let alone during an emergency
3. My digital cameras!
The thing is though, I never know if they are “good” or “bad”. And I believe they work as a team more frequently than you might guess to conspire against me when I am in dire need of good batteries. You know for those fragile and important moments, like when I noticed a hair piece in the parking lot of Target today! This unawareness of battery state has been reflected myriad of times in countless vacations going undocumented because I run out of batteries before I run out of photographer’s pixie dust. Therefore, a product like Energizer® Recharge Smart™ Charger!
If there was ever a blogger who could sit around and watch a battery charge, it’s AG! The nifty thing is that I no longer need to do that with the new Recharge Smart™ Charger. I can yank those devilish batteries from the depths of my refrigerator shelves and pop them into the charger, thereby giving me more time to enjoy the wine and nail polish classmates. With a click of the button and mindful eye later, voila I will actually capture my trip to Israel and Russia later this year!

And who knows, maybe if I am the ChargHER blogger, I may actually snap a photo of myself. OK. Maybe not. Let’s not dream too big in color.
