Strange mix, but you'll see what I mean.
I had an amazing 3-day weekend. To start, I christined it with a new camera!!!! That's right, your's truly just got a Canon Rebel xti with battery pack, 28/150 lens, and many much other goodness. And the detail is AMAZING. Truly, I say to you, it is.
However, being as this is an iPhone blog, one can't just thrust upon unknowning knowers a world of Canon crispness and coloring. But one can tell you that they are creating a website, (!!) specifically for these pictures. And one might hint at the fact that she's been in love with photography FOREVER, and is thinking of going pro with that goodness one day. ^.^
Anyways, to get back on target: The camera is awesome. NOT as awesome, however as having my Brian with me for a whole day! Plus, it was my sisters baby shower! PLUS, I got to take more pictures! AND I get to edit them, because Brian advised me that he had Photoshop 7, and had placed it on my laptop earlier that day. To say I was geeking out is like saying the moon is made of cheese. Wait, it's not? Hmm. Go with it anyways.
I couldn't sleep last night, so as I waited for my full memory card to download onto my computer, (which is swiftly becoming full, by the by) I decided to update my facebook. 3 updates later, 4 minutes gone by, I realised I wanted to type, and to chat with someone. But at the time, no one was on. So I sipped my sleep-aid cocktail, watching pictures fly by, and hoped. And waited.
Anyways, to get back on target-so Friday was payday, I got my Brian for a whole day, had Michelles baby shower, gave her the crib. SATURDAY, I went out to the farming community of GreenBluff for the weekend to enjoy a festival of awesome-and yes, I took hundreds of pictures. And wished fervently for a tripod.
SUNDAY I was presented with a number of options, ranging from baking apple pie, to seeing a Ugandian Choir. All fell through, sadly, and I was presented with a day of editing pictures (which is, as I am learning, exceedingly time consuming) and realising two crucial facts:
A)I need more knowledge about Photoshop.
B) This knowledge does not come cheap unless you have knowledge on how to find knowledge for cheap: which I do not have.
So I did laundry, opened a bank account online, threatened Brian via text with wet underwear, and went grocery shopping. And checked out a really cool website called www.lynda.com where one can actually learn all about anything techy....for a price.Debating on the commitment as we type.
It's been a good weekend. Pictures to follow. And hopefully soon, my website will be up, and all will envy my awesome.
Happy Monday!

You are adorable when you're geeking out. My husband has pretty much taught himself the intricacies of Photoshop; for me, it's not easy or intuitive, but he just clicks around and figures stuff out. My point is: if you don't have money, maybe you can find patience, and use that to wade your way into the fun world of the Photoshop. I'm excited for you!
