A Blanket of Snow

This is a picture from the other day. I did some tweaking to it. Maybe I need to find out more about this Photo Shop thing I hear about so often.....can you do really fun stuff with your pictures in that program???

Beautiful photo! Kind of looks like my back yard.

Yes, you can do very fun stuff to your photos in Photoshop, but there are other less pricey programs that can do fun stuff too. It is definitely worth checking around before you dish out the money for Photoshop. Unless you know what you are doing, Photoshop Elements is probably a better place to begin. Not that I'm an expert though because I use Photoshop and barely scrape the surface of the possibilities that exist there. For basic editing I still use Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

Pretty picture. Almost makes me wish the snow. Almost.

I don't have time for any fancy photo stuff. Maybe someday. It is pretty though. We have some cool ones from the ice storm of '02.

(I feel like such a grown-up referring to major weather events like that.)

Oh the ice storm. That was fun. We were living in this house and because it is an old neighborhood we were without electricity and gas for two weeks. We also had a huge tree branch come through the window in Emma's room. Fum times that was.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...
