I am not good with blogging. My whole life seems to be one big spiral either going up or down. Anyway I am here now and am blogging.
I haven’t done a lot of scrapbooking lately. I finished a layout of DS that I had been working on and I like how it turned out. Then I started playing in Photoshop Elements. I bought a whole bunch of actions for it during a sale last weekend and I have been busy printing off photos to scrapbook. I have been playing in black and white as well as sepia a lot. I am sure I have gone through an entire package of photo paper now. It’s just so much fun to play with colour and lighting. I even still have the photoprinter here with me in the kitchen as I am typing this blog post. You just never know when you might want to start printing photos right?
I did some shopping this week at http://amillionlittlethings.com and had a blast. At this moment I forget what I ordered…oh right it was the new CHA S Sassafras Lass papers Indian Summer. Then I decided I wanted the Autumn Leaves Foofala paper also called Indian Summer. I should be good for fall papers. I just need to take DS to the park on the next street for some new photos. Then I will have to go and edit them and start the process all over again LOL. Talk about obsessive compulsive! It’s fun.
My folks have been in Calgary for the past week. We are really missing them as things around the house are very hectic. Taking DS to school in the am, walking the dogs, doing dishes, trying to keep the house up, laundry, picking DS up from school, laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, packing lunches. There just aren’t enough hours in a day to get it all done. The dogs have been great company but they sure do miss Granny and Grandpa. They keep looking for them and then looking to me to find them for them. (Does that make sense?) The dogs are so lost when the whole family isn’t home.
I wish DS were getting all the school lunches that are offered. He has opted only for Subway and pizza and would not consider getting Chinese food and sushi. He had all 4 one year and that was an easy lunch year. He hated the Chinese food. The sushi had faux (fox) crab in it and he hates fox crab a lot. We call it faux “fox” because we wanted to fool him into believing that faux “fox” crab was just another species of crab like dungeness, rock etc. Eventually he caught on and then decided he didn’t like it. As he says “at all”!!! Ok so he will eat school lunches 2 days a week which is better than none. I just wish it were 4. I wish we had had those options when I was in school. It would have made life a lot easier for me growing up!
Well CSI NY is coming on in a few minutes. I have to see how Mac’s vacation in London was. Hopefully it will be exciting. So far this week I have watched the premiers for CSI Miami, Law and Order and the Grey’s spinoff called Private Practice. I didn’t get into it and I don’t think I will be watching it. I tried but it did nothing for me. I will stick to my CSIs, Law and Orders and ER. I don’t need to be staying up any later than I already am.
Will try to write again sooner than the last time.
