Life This Week, Today, and Summer
1. I'm so behind on blogging/emailing/etc. If this directly affects you, I'm sorry. I'm working on it...but the first day of summer kinda trumps anything else today...although with the fact that when I have too much to do, I just do nothing.
2. My husband gifted me with 9 gifts during the 9 days leading up to our 9th anniversary. It was way over the top and I loved every bit of it! The last and final gift is sort of a surprise and probably won't happen until this weekend, but I'll be sure to post it here on Monday....or Tuesday, or whenever I get around to it. (see #1)
3. I recently bought Lightroom and I'm quite smitten....although highly unfamiliar with the software. I need some tutorials stat, as well as any preset recommends. Here's a favorite of mine from a recent photo session. I always fell like images can be editing a little more, and a little bit more. Even now, looking at this one, I see things that need to be changed, like more cropping, lightening, etc. Photography brings out the perfectionist in me....which very few things are capable of doing. I'm usually such a "eh, it's good enough" kind of girl.
4. Hallelujah, school's out for summer! I didn't come downstairs today until 9:00!!!! That doesn't mean the munchkies didn't wake me up at 7ish, but their daddy had prepared baggies of cereal and put the T.V. on PBS so that I was able to get a little bit more shut-eye this morning. Crossing my fingers this trend can continue throughout the summer!
5. Even though it's the first day of summer vacation for my kids, I'm being a meanie and making my kids help clean the house rather than heading to the pool like everyone else in our neighborhood. I'm hosting Bunco tomorrow night and a party Saturday morning, so getting the house clean comes first today. And naps come second. What a terrible, no-fun mom I am, huh? ;)
(Oh, and I think I have pink eye....so the pool probably doesn't want me anyway.)
What do you have going on today???
Yayyyyyy for summer vacation! I have one more day!

ReplyDeleteYou know...it's not itching and hasn't discharged since this morning, so now I'm thinking I might just have a regular infection from wearing my contacts too long. Either way, it looks pretty gnarly. :)
