Need to know how to fill your time? Do what I do

I have a lot of homework. Let me re-phrase that. I have one or two assignments due tomorrow, but they will probably take a bit to finish...I should be doing that right now.

What am I doing instead?


Wasting  Using my time wisely and reading the blog Pioneer Woman (the photography section). I've been on the computer about an hour and a half doing this. And believe it or not, it has been useful :) I've learned a couple more things about photography, and now have some new ideas for pictures and stuff. It's also made me want Photoshop more than I have ever wanted it in my life. Darn money. If I had three wishes, right now they would be 1)Canon Rebel (just the body)  with a 50 mm 1.8 AF lens ( idea taken from Pioneer Woman) 2) Photoshop (with all the actions) and 3) Lightroom (accompanied by all the presets). Yes, that counts as 3 things.

It's time for a change???

Before...

After...

Too drastic??? 

At school and POSTING. It's Computer tech class...

I'm sitting in class. Bored. So I was catching up on a couple of blogs. I was reading Happiness for the Halibut and decided to copy Holly and do this survey thing that she did. Becaaauuussseee. I have nothing else to do. Here we go!

Do you like your life: Sure do!




I don't know why the font changed. Please excuse Blogger

Party Hardy for I

Just a random picture. 

 I wish my camera took better pictures of people. It really does not do the job. Which is why I want the Canon Rebel. You know you want to buy it for me... :D Anyone? Anyone? Oh well. We had a little birthday party for my niece yesterday, and some people dressed up in costumes and we  had cupcakes and streamers, balloons, presents, etc. Here are a couple pictures. Ha

Fire Fighter

Elmo

Haha, Leon ;)

 The treats

The birthday girl! She didn't know what to do about the candles :D

So  T helped her out

Iron Man and a Kitty Cat

Fire Man doubled as a Sailor???

 My brother. And yes, that hair is real.    .     . Real fake! Haha, original, I know

My costume...I was the cupcake girl...exciting, right?

Okay okay, be prepared to laugh your head off. Haha! Oh goodness, this is a picture to look at when you're having a bad day :)

Haha!

Happy Halloween

My Guilty Pleasure and some Extra Credit

Gerber Oatmeal cereal (MUST be banana flavored) is my guilty pleasure. I enjoy it

For my AP english class, we get extra credit if we bring a treat/snack. It's pretty much the best. So, in an attempt to bring my grade from an A- to an A, I made some sugar cookies. (it worked. Pretty sure I ended this term with a 4.0! Woot!)


First, get the stuff out

Flour is the key ingredient...I know, it shocked me too.

Mix it all together...

Then put it in the freezer for 45 minutes, or the fridge for 3 hours. I chose the freezer

While the dough is cooling, make the frosting. I like Buttercream

Time to make it orange for Halloween!

Once the frosting is finished, get out the dough, roll it out, and cut out shapes (I had no pumpkin shapes...just round)

 Then you cook them, put the frosting on, add some sprinkles and you have a good cookie. They were good cookies. My teacher asked for the recipe.

You can tell my Dad's a Poet...

... just by reading a bit of his writing/ blog.

It makes me jealous.

I know it makes you jealous too.

a little preview...

I always have a hard time of deciding how to edit a picture and so I do multiple. Then I can't decide which looks the best. I wasn't able to access photoshop at the moment so these are two quick pictures (two of each) edited just on iPhoto. I prefer photoshop.

 There is a cute tire swing, but it's really hard to see. I wish it was more noticeable...
