Finally, a beautiful sunny day!

And yet, I turned this chocolate ...

It just seemed to work.  Plus I finally got to use that logo stamp I made in a way that I like.  It's very unobtrusive.

(so unobtrusive you can barely see it! geeez)

This was done using the Creamy Chocolate action from CoffeeShop.  Rita kicks ass.

This shot does not.  Kick ass, I mean.  It's just sort of there, nothing special about it at all.  But that's okay.  I'm tired.

lovin' it {61/365}

Husband left for Montreal this morning, so daughter and I decided to partake in (of ?) some fine dining,  just us girls.

See that look in her eye?  That's my girl getting a kick out of her Mom, as opposed to the usual eye roll whenever I whip out the camera.  See?  Breakin' her down.  LOL ...

Last I heard, she was stealing that shot for her crackbook profile pic.

The girl rocks the Big Mac.  And I can't get that theme song out of my head ...

'ba-da-ba-ba-baaaaa I'm loving it'!  arrrggghhhhh ...

But speaking of lovin' it, I am now the proud owner of Lightroom.  I spent a few hours today, playing around, and have to conclude that I am head over heels in LOVE.  L-O-V-E.  LOVE!

Where have you been all my life?

I predict many hours of web-scouring for presets and goodies.

EDITED TO ADD:  I'm getting more than a little perturbed with the way my photos are displaying here.  The difference in colour and clarity from here to flickr is ridiculous.  Does anybody have an answer?  Is it wordpress?  My template?  My server?  Anyone?  Bueller?

It's pissing me off.

UPDATE EDIT:  Screw it.  I'm just going to link from flickr and be done with it.

Fooling around again.  Don't even ask what I did to this, because I sure don't remember ... I was going for that urban/grungy look.  LOL!  whatever ...

One of the points of this project is to actually add yourself to some of the shots.  I'm not really comfortable with it, but I'm glad I'm doing it.  Being the one behind the camera, there's little documentation that I actually exist, y'know?

love/hate {59/365}

I have a love/hate/hate relationship with IKEA.

I'm fairly positive there's evil little elfin men sitting around a huge table somewhere (probably somewhere underground) where they spend their days coming up with new and inventive ways to f*ck with their instruction leaflets and drive even the best of us completely insane.

I spent the majority of the day reorganizing/sorting/tossing stuff in my little workspace.  And I do mean little.

This shot is complete crap.  I had the ISO cranked because I hate my flash (must must must get me one of those lightscoop thingies) so it's noisy and well, just all 'round crappy.

And I don't care.  I'm beat.
