when it is 10:00pm, the kids are in bed, you are in bed, flipping through the channels and you stop on the Disney channel and watch an entire Hannah Montana episode. What's even sadder is when your husband has the remote and the situation described above happens.
For those that read my spiritual thought blog, "Feeding My Soul," I have finally posted again. If you haven't check it out, feel free. It is basically a blog of my daily (well, week-daily) scripture or spiritual study and thoughts. It's not really well...
There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but there certainly is such a thing as free software programs.
Downloadpedia.org provides a list of commercial software with their Open Source (as in free) alternatives.
I've heard a lot about Gimp, although I've never used it. However, I didn't know that there were Open Source programs that rivaled Illustrator and QuarkXpress.
Has anyone used these free programs? Do they really replace the commercial industry standards?
The past year has been SO fast!!!! I can't believe my baby is one today!!! Happy birthday Bubba Chubs! He even has his own thread on my local message board full of birthday wishes. So sweet!
Feeling a little deprived of frozen precipitation in our mild Texas winter?
Visit Make a Flake and create your own digital snowflake.
When you click on "make a flake," it will bring you to a "workroom" with a folded paper and scissors. When the little circle on the scissors turns green you can set a point for your cutting area.
After you've made all the "cuts" you want, click "preview flake" and you can view your creation. You can save your snowflake in the gallery. I'm not going to tell you which one is mine, because it is pretty pathetic compared to some on there.
So I went grocery shopping today, something that I must say has become quite a talent. It felt good to be in my element again at the grocery stores. I don't know what I would do if we have to move where they don't double and triple coupons. So here is the breakdown:
Holy cow! What a week! I am feeling quite a bit better today, thank goodness! Who knew passing a stone could be so traumatic?!?! I'm almost caught up on laundry and the cleaning is WAY behind. Well, that's not really honest. The cleaning situation is pretty much what it always...
One of the things that just drives me crazy is having to install programs that I use on a daily basis on other computers.
For example, I have Adobe Photoshop on my main computer, along with custom shapes, styles, patterns, and brushes that I have collected, compiled and created over several years.
I can use Photoshop on my laptop, but then I don't have all the little "extras."
I just came across a program, PortableApps , that is supposed to solve that problem. It will let you take your favorite program, preferences and all, and use it on a different computer.
I haven't tried it out yet. If you do, please let me know.
I am slowly feeling better. I added lots of pics on the kids' blog. I hope to get some rest this weekend, so next week I can be back to my normal routine.
