We are now aunt & uncle
Mike’s brother and his wife had their first child early Sunday morning. It was a beautiful little girl – Haley Elizabeth. Both mom and baby are doing fine. We went to visit on Sunday afternoon with Mike’s parents and sister. Both the new mom and dad were pretty tired so we didn’t stay long. This is the first “grandbaby” on both sides of our family so we are now Aunt Emily and Uncle Mike. That was the big event of the weekend. But we had a very, very busy weekend. Starting Thursday night we spent our weekend watching/hanging out with …
TV is back!
The TV is fixed and back to normal. I’m beginning to think that it was the crazy weather over the weekend that knocked out our signal and therefore our channels were all messed up. Now I can watch the Biggest Loser. 🙂
Rainy Day
It is a very dreary and wet day today. Just how I like a good relaxing Saturday! I think I might actually start on my Ireland scrapbook this afternoon. Oh, yeah and I guess I’ll be visiting the gym later on today too…..
Friday
Nope, didn’t win the contest in case you were wondering. Didn’t think I would. I am watching little Miss Ella today at my house. We are watching Clifford right now on a very fuzzy television screen. I somehow messed up the channels that were coming through in my attempt to fix them. Guess I’ll be waiting for Mike to come home and fix them. But at least we have some sort of PBS coming through now. I also have a very annoying dog who I have stuck outside because I was tired of chasing him around the house. Now he …
Contests
I never win contests or for that matter – anything. I have found this blog that I am now slightly addicted to – http://thepioneerwoman.com/. She is one cool lady and she has some crazy contests. Today she was giving away $500 to the Apple store. So I threw my name into the hat. I was entry 14,433 – don’t think I have much of a chance. But check out her website – it is fun and she is funny!
Babysitting
So I watched little M yesterday morning and he was NOT a happy camper! Poor boy has been sick and exhausted because of that. He did finally fall asleep and got a good nap in. But before he fell asleep and was screaming at me I decided to have a little fun. Why not make it worse by taking his picture! He actually calmed down while I took his picture – no smiles though. 🙂 Then while he was sleeping I played with his picture using pre-designed actions in photoshop (my old version – which seems to work ok). Which …
Still here…
We are still here. We are just really boring at the moment….. Happy Valentine’s Day this coming Saturday! 🙂
SNOW!
We are getting some white stuff today! 🙂
Fun With Photoshop!
The owner of the studio, where I work, has been doing some workshops for all of us who work for her. Today she did a Photoshop class and since I don’t own Photoshop I downloaded the 30 day trial to have for the class. So I’m playing with what I learned. There might be more to show tomorrow after our 2nd workshop! Some warming actions to make the sky pop. Some cool effects and some picture clean up. All for now…I don’t have a lot of pictures on my laptop yet either. They haven’t been moved from the desktop to …
