For Lindsay

Claire has taken TWO naps today... So I have had time to be on a roll with Photoshop! :)
This one is for you (click on image to enlarge). I love you!

First Photoshop Project

Having relied on Wayne for ages for "all things computer," it feels great to learn something on my own. One thing I realize now is, there is A LOT I didn't know. And I still don't know. But, look what I did ... created my first scrapbook page entirely in Photoshop. A week ago I couldn't even figure out how to convert a picture to black and white.

Progress!

Annoyed No More

I am happy to report that I officially have (small) Photoshop skills. I am taking some online classes on it, and am having a blast! So far I can navigate my palette/tool bar (and actually know what they all do) and do some basic editing of photos. This is huge because the program is complex and not intuitive at all. I plan on doing a lesson a day and steadily make progress.

(Look at me with my fancy screen shot. I told you I have some skills!)

As you know, I am also training for a 1/2 marathon. I haven't ran in 3 days because 2 of them were my days off (now I know to split them up, oops) and the third day (last night) I was so stinkin' tired. I will not name names, but a certain 7 month old was up most of the night and took only 1 nap during the day. I was wiped out last night. I am just one of those people who NEEDS sleep. I need it, people. As soon as this certain-someone can read, I'll be sure to send her the memo.

Anyhoo, today is a new day, and I plan on running 3 miles. I can't even tell you how good it feels to be running again. My moods are better, I have more energy, and I feel good. I am just running in the basement as LifeTime Fitness seems to be a big bust as the infant care center is always full, making it nearly impossible to take the kids when I want to work out. The basement is working out much better, and I have always loved my treadmill...

So, 3 miles today.
