what a difference a day makes...

Today it's absolutely gorgeous, no coat necessary and lots of sunshine! This is supposed to last for a few days, so I took Michael and the dog for a walk. Poor kid has been sick since Friday and he's finally getting better, just a little bit of coughing left. Of course he is milking it as much as possible, had to squeeze another day out of it. It's better though, I don't want to be one of those parents spreading the disease around, sending the kid back to school too early. I took a bunch of pictures so it was fun! I'll have to look through them yet and fix them up a little, so no peak preview here :)

I did my 365 page yesterday, so I am happy about that, still keeping it up. I think I'll do it next year too. Somebody started a thread at DD yesterday about uploading finished pages directly to Shutterfly, which is probably a great idea. This way you have an additional backup and you are ready to go when they have a sale. I seriously need to do that. I think I'll start with the 365 pages and then go from there. Boy, some people are just so organized, so not me :)
Looking at that page with Gabrielle playing the Iphone, that application is so much fun, the songs sound really pretty!
See that page above with the Panorama? I have always wanted to try one of those and I finally found a tutorial online and just did it. Of course my sky was really blown out in those pictures and for the life of me I couldn't remember how to fix that, I know you use a gradiant, but I couldn't remember how. The tutorial had a section about adding sky and I did it that way, doesn't it look real? I was really happy about that.
Well, today is my piano lesson day, so I need to practice so I won't waste my money completely. Tonight is Karate and in between I have to get the kids and make something for dinner and help with homework. Oh yes, I still have to go upstairs and pay bills too. I'd much rather stay here and play, let me tell you. Only my anterior and posterior are growing more and more :) Gabi made brownies last night and I had made this cool low fat lemon sort of cake thingy. You just use Betty Crocker Angel Food mix (the one where you only add water) and mix it with a can of lemon pie filling. that's it! Just spread it on a jelly roll pan and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes (the edges turn gold) and sprinkle with powdered sugar when cool. It's really good! I guess you could make it nice and fattening by spreading some kind of icing on it and rolling it up, but we didn't. I want to try replacing the lemon with pumpkin and see what happens :) I'll let you know. Anyway, it's not good for the waist line, that's for sure. I need to go check on Pattie's class at Debbie's and get my latest lesson. The last one was about creating your own brushes, but I haven't done it yet. Katrina's new lesson must be there too. How is a girl supposed to keep up? They are good though, so at least I will have them for later!
Well, enjoy the rest of your day, I'll have to get some lunch for the bugger!
