Thursday already!!!

go figure!!! I go and get sick yesterday and my week is disappearing! Ok..so I was obviously a slug yesterday thanks to not feeling well…the only thing I accomplished ALL day was to do some reading for homework! Of course I really need to kick that up a notch hello…my first assignment for the week is due tomorrow!! That and I’m leaving to go to WV tomorrow…AAACK!!! Guess the laptop is gonna be going with me, don’t think mom will mind if I borrow it :) Going to help Grandma finish up packing…OHHHH…guess what we get to do tonight???

Yep…Pirates of the Carrabian - At Worlds End!!!! not feeling well or not I’M GOING!!!! With miss Savannah in WV we can all watch the WHOLE thing with no “I need to go potty” breaks, or “I’m hungry” breaks, or the I’m just plain bored lets go sit in the car and sing the old Macdonald song! And yes if you have kids you know what I’m talking about! She actually really love Captain Jack or at least she adored the first movie…yes…the 3 year old will sit through that one no problem…but she hasn’t been so interested in the rest…so my thought…I’ll take her to Shrek when we get back :) Now if you wanna see what this one is all about or see what the critiques have to say (if that is you haven’t already) Then here is one by Jeannette Catsoulis at The New York Times.

Ok, now that I’m over the non kid movie night :) …it is the 24th! That means the end of the month is coming fast!! The first of June we are going to Bush Gardens… Mom’s office is having a family outing!! ohh I can’t wait…Ohhh…and Savannah IS going on this one!! She loves rides so this should be a blast! And she has grown quite a bit since our last trip to an amusement park so I’m hoping she is tall enough for most of the rides…That girl has noooo fear

Ohhhh and ya know what else happens on the 1st?? A brand new challenge over at The Digi Shoppe! Another photography one..Backstage Pass…Where it all begins! This one will help you improve your photography! And yes I know..I’m an amateur at best…not even sure if I’d characterize me as that…but I have a ton of resources and darn it we will learn together!!!! So if you have any requests on techniques to tackle just leave me a note here and I’ll add it to my list of things to do!! :) Duh…I want you all to participate and what better way to get you there than to do something you WANT me to do! Soo…get those thinking caps on…I’ll have the very first one up on the first so bookmark that link baby! And come see me!!

More news on the Scrapping front…ok…so I got a bit more accomplished yesterday! How could I have forgotten this! I finally got the Adobe CS3 suite installed without any flooks, and since I had been using ACDSee for organizing my pictures and scrap supplies I thought…duh..Adobe has Bridge maybe I should give it a go…Soooo…I started tagging some stuff yesterday…Being new still not sure if I like it…like I’m trying to find out if there is a way to keep track of the files you use (I never just use one kit! ) I’m almost sure there is a way but I haven’t found it yet! If anyone out there know..pretty please enlighten me!! :) Oh and while your at it..does anyone know if you can change the color of the background on the previews? I have several white PNG files that don’t show up because the background is white…any ideas? hmmm…it just dawned on me…I wonder if Version cue would track the files used??? I’m new to the whole suite so have no idea what Version cue does..Ok…enough gabbing for now!! off to do some work!!

Girl Power

And I so know the journaling is TINY so here it is…

Savannah you are my strong yet dainty little angel! I grew up being the Tom Boy and you may look like you are doing the same thing, but you sooo aren’t! Grandma finally got her girly girl! This is so not your style…One it isn’t frilly, two it isn’t pink! The only thing that is you is the girl power…Frilly but tough is your motto..that is until of course you see a bug You are growing up faster than I ever imagined and I thank God for you everyday!!

More to come later…told you I’m back in business :)

Paparazzi 101 flower power!

 Ok…so my usual photography subject is in WV so couldn’t take pictures of her today…so I went with something simple…here is a shot of an iris that is on my new front porch! Not too bad for a lens that so doesn’t do macro! I really really want one though (the lens that can do the macro of course :) ) Enjoy anyway…I did!
