Photo Editing

If you don't have photoshop THIS a great website that you can edit your pictures with. It's not as indepth as photoshop (unless you pay to upgrade) but it lets you do quite a bit for free.

Here's a picture without editing.

Here are just a few of the effects you can do.

I thought some of these were funny.

Difference Between Women And Men

1.NAMES: If Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth and Barbara go out for lunch, they will call each other Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth and Barbara. If Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Scrappy.

2.EATING OUT: When the bill arrives, Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom will each throw in a $20, even though it’s only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the women get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

3.MONEY: A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t need, but it’s on sale.

4.BATHROOMS: A man has five items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Marriott. The average number of items in the typical woman’s bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

5.ARGUMENTS: A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that… is the beginning of a new argument.

6.CATS: Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren’t looking, men kick cats.

7.FUTURE: A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

8.SUCCESS: A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife canspend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

9.MARRIAGE: A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t. A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change, and she does.

10.DRESSING UP: A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

11.NATURAL: Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

12.OFFSPRING: Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

13.THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Any married man should forget his mistakes. There’s no use in two people remembering the same thing.

I stumbled upon this picture of my brother on one of his friends blogs. I know my mom would like to see it so I thought I would post it. Isn't he so cute. He's on the far left. This was at their prince charming assembly a couple of months ago.

Just An All Around Good Day (and it's only 3:20!)

This is how Ashton fell asleep last night. He must have been praying for a good nights sleep because finally at 3 months old he slept for 6 hours straight! (I think it's actually an answer to mommy and daddy's prayers) I was so excited to see 4:22am on the alarm clock. So hopefully the pattern continues.
And then my aunt brought Kaleb home from preschool and although my birthday isn't until tomorrow she took him to Wal-mart to pick me out something. He came in the door and yelled Happy Birthday and wanted me to open it right away. My aunt said that he picked it out all by himself. She just followed him around Wal-mart a couple of times until he found what he wanted. First he looked through the food section, then she said he told her it was by the underwear. Kaleb kept telling her he wanted to get me a white circle. She had no idea what he was talking about. Matt had asked Kaleb earlier this week what he should get mom for her birthday and Kaleb told him a bracelet so I'm guessing that's what Kaleb was searching for. After trying to decide between a pearl necklace and this silver one he picked the silver circle necklace.

A couple of months ago I found this website (through someone else's blog of course) and it has free fonts that you can download. I love using them. One of the fonts is used in my header for "family; est. 2003; Matt April Kaleb Ashton". The website is www.kevinandamanda.com and you click on FONTS. There are Fonts for Peas which are people's handwriting that she's turned into fonts and also lots of scrapbooking fonts.
