Notes from the other side of the world...

Jordan thinks that I stay home and watch tv all day long; and while it's true that the tv is on in the background, I have a small list of things to do each day.

Here is my day:

1. laundry-this is an everyday chore around here since we all go through at least 2 sets of clothes per day.
2. sweep the floors-with a dog, the floors are always dirty and they drive me insane.
3. mop the floors- ok, I don't do this everyday just every 3rd day.
4. vacuum floors- yes, the floors are vacuumed after sweeping since the broom doesn't pick up the dust bunnies.
5. clean the kitchen
6. grocery shopping- I feel like I live at the store!
7. organize household maintenance- pest control, hit list items that still need to be completed, a/c service and paying the bills.
8. organize our vacation itinerary.
9. walk the dog.
10. work on dog training.
11. work on learning photoshop.
12. work on photography lessons.
13. substituting at the school when they call.
14. class mom stuff.
15. PTA stuff.
16. and the list goes on!

Speaking of photography, today I played with my 50mm and 10-17mm fish eye lens.  What do you think?

so sweet, I love it when she is resting and lets me take pictures.

Can you see Larry in the catch lights? She was watching him as he waited for a taxi.

Another thing I am working on besides the list above are actions!  I really love playing with them to get different effects. 

As I was searching for new actions I came across these web sites:

http://www.mcpactions.com/ 

there are some nice freebies on this one as well as some for sale.

The next site is:

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/10/20/the-ultimate-collection-of-useful-photoshop-actions/

this one has several freebies that I think are great!

I have a few other places for actions but for some reason I cannot get to my favorites.  So, when I can link them, I will!
