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.

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...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
