  • So excited!

    I have an updated version of Photoshop Elements!  I was using my old school (really from when i was still at college) version and it was clearly not performing exactly like I was trying to make it.  Loaded on 7.0 last night and can't wait to get my hands on new pictures.  Should have a newborn session tonight and can't wait to get to working on them.

  • Purging & Organizing!

    With spring here and the need to change from season to season - clothes, shoes, etc - I've been working on the Peanut's stuff first.  You know because that is the simpliest.  Unfortunatley she does kinda get tired of trying stuff on...so then i just start putting stuff up to her to see how the length is.  Felt good to pack away (for sorting later between donate, handmedown, cosignment) 2 bags of shoes and 3 bags of clothes.

    Thinking that I might actually be brave enough to attempt this in my closet.  There is so much stuff that I don't wear (for various reasons) but when i got to put away (donate/giveaway/etc.) I was negotiate with myself oh but i might wear that to this or i'll fit that in -3 pounds.  Really need to just take it out of the closet and make more room for stuff that is stacked up where my shoes should go.

    We've even reorganized the pantry...and boy can that space get crazy!

  • WOW!

    Apparently it has been forever since i've blogged.  SO much to blog...so little time right?  That or there are some things you want to remember and some things you don't....and you get to busy to blog either!

     

    I need to preserve some memories...and since i'm not the best journaler (is that a word) in my scrapbooks...about me anyway...i'm great journaler for everything/one else....hoping to get back into the habit of this.

     

    Out folks!

  • Things happen and other lame responses

    Since I just noticed what my last blog post was about...figured it was time to update.  I was pregnant, but it apparently wasn't right from the very beginning..to the ending less than three months later.  Things are relatively back to 'normal' and i'm feeling okay.  Unfortunately that was not one of the things I was hoping to experience in life, but now it looks a lot different after going through the process.  As cold as it may sound I'm glad I hadn't really gotten excited or attached (insert other appropriate word), because I think my recovery has gone much quicker because of that fact. 

    Now on to decide if we (and when I say we I mean *I*) are ready to attempt that process again.  My soul really does ache for the women who go through multiple miscarriages in the hopes of trying to achieve additional children, much less for their first child.

    On 12/5/08 God sent a little angel of mine up to hang out with him.
