Goodbye NaBloPoMo

Posted on 30 November 2008 by MommyKnows

NaBloPoMo it’s been one hell of a month. I started the MS drugs. I traveled by car across a continent (2 countries, 1 province, 6 states) with 3 kids, survived 3 theme parks, 2 national parks and 2 flat tires. Fell way behind on the laundry. Held my head up high during Georgia’s fashion crisis. I am pretty sure the laundry and fashion crisis aren’t connected. Suffered a relapse (a very minor one) of my MS and still I didn’t forget about you.

It has to be said though, you’ve worn out your welcome. Your nagging presence is no longer wanted. Goodbye NaBloPoMo. Good riddance, don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out, or do, I don’t care.

Don’t call me, I’ll call you.

You keep watch Georgia, and make sure he actually leaves.

Lizzy loves Chocolate …

Posted on 29 November 2008 by MommyKnows

Lizzy loves chocolate, well any sweets really. She also likes crafts.

This morning we made some chocolate lollipops from a Wilton kit.

My creation
Lizzy loved it—Can’t you tell.

Thanks for all your kind comments and emails. I am actually feeling much better. The doctor actually made me go into the hospital to see him. I have to report ALL symptoms to a study nurse as part of my drug trial. However, by the time the doctor got back to me, I was feeling nearly 100%, I felt like I was wasting his time and mine. Oh well. All’s well that ends well.

The Miracle of Photoshop (& Lightroom)

Posted on 26 November 2008 by MommyKnows

Remember a few days ago, I told you about my camera settings being messed up and me being too lazy to notice until we got home?

Oh, you don’t? Well read this! http://mommyknows.com/damncameradamnkid/ – The bottom bit is even kinda funny.

If you went back and read that, you are now aware that I had to cancel the ‘Guess that Canyon’ contest due to the worlds crappiest holiday photos.

In an effort to salvage a few I spent sometime this evening with Photoshop (& Lightroom) editing photos. Not so I can hold the contest (which I might), but because I want some holiday photos dagnabbit. The chances of me driving through ‘Where in the hell are we?, USA’, (honest, I think that it what it was called) again soon are slim.

I call this one ‘Road to Nowhere’ – Before Photoshop (& Lightroom)

Road to Nowhere, USA
This is such a dismal place Mr. MK, why would you drive me way out into the middle of ‘Where in the hell are we? ... why?

I call this one ‘Road to Somewhere’ – After Photoshop (& Lightroom)

Road to Somewhere, USA
‘Where in the hell are we? is kind of a pretty spot, eh? Just where I wanted to be thank you honey!

Psst … it really was orange and gorgeous like this … even the road.

Tonight, I am thankful for Photoshop. What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? (Say me … go on say it).

To all my American readers, Happy Thanksgiving!

Cruella, Cruella … De Vil

Posted on 25 November 2008 by MommyKnows

I’ve been tagged—AGAIN. Well not really, I am lying, I wasn’t tagged I am just OUT, OUT, OUT of ideas to blog about. I did what any sorry-assed NaBloPoMo blogger does on the 25th day of her self-induced torture and I tagged myself (courtesy of Safire).

Psst …
Go and see Safire’s twin baby boys and leave her some blog love comments. She too, is doing NaBloPoMo and the babies aren’t sleeping.

Here are the rules:
Go to your photos and open the 4th folder.
Post the 4th picture in your folder.
Tag 4 more people. Seeing as I am tagging myself, I am also making up my own rules. I am canceling the tag rule and adding a New rule: Answer the question below.

Me and Lizzy in Disney
Ah, surprisingly (today stinks), this just happens to be the perfect photo. Who would have thunk it, eh? Perfect because I feel MEAN today, which is exactly what Georgia said to Cruella our first five minutes in Disneyland.

I. DON’T. LIKE. YOU.—> YOU. ARE. MEAN.

Which is quite understandable, considering she is the lover of small dogs (not rabbits).

If she were home, and not on a short vacation to Grandma’s, she’d be telling me the same thing today. She’d be right, I am down right dissatisfied and I want to make a coat out of dalmatian pups. Fine, the part about the dalmatian pups is a lie too. You got me.

Here’s the last part of the Meme/Tag—> Answer this question: Which Disney Character are you today?
