Miracles DO Happen...

Here i am....late as usual!  I knew it was too good to be true that last week i finished my homework and was not doubled up on anything for a change.  Things have a way of reverting back to that when life suddenly jumps in and tosses you a few fouls.

Let me just start by saying that i have a very, VERRRRRY long way to go with this whole text on a path, text on a shape thing in CS5.  For this past week, CS5 has been one gigantic thorn in my side....and so it continues!  Given the kind of week i have had....Monday a biopsy (still awaiting results), Tuesday zooming around trying to find backsplash tile and countertop and making decisions on sinks and stoves for the kitchen remodeling, wednesday, sitting for 2 of the three grands, and again a bit today after realizing this morning that THIS Sunday is Easter and rushing to the store for things ofr the egg hunt here and the lunch...tomorrow another round of tile stalking, and a bit more shopping....oh, and did i mention i just began a 30 day Clean Eating Challenge, which has boosted my energy level to the point that i now fall asleep quickly when i GET to bed around 11 or 12, but find i am awake around 5am....WIDE awake.  My wish for longer days seems to be coming true!

Tonight, after dinner, absolutely determined to get my text to behave itself on some sort of path, i decided to bypass CS5 until i can give it my undivided attention (read: Sometime this summer at the beach on a rainy day!) and just go with Elements11.  (just when i had gotten E10 down to a science they make me get and learn another and i am not quite sure i am liking the changes....it looks a bunch more simple....but so far i am finding it more confusing).  I am pleased to announce that after an hour of twiddling with it, i have finally produced 2 that i can deal with!  One (the sweet easter eggs shot) of Kim's, and my shot taken at my very favorite secret garden.....which for some reason made me think of Easter last week when i was there.  The words, He is Risen, popped into my head when i saw this metal stake that looked like a cross....and the burlap brought to mind a burial shroud....it stuck in my head as i was walking away....nudging at me to go back and reel off some shots.

That's it for tonight...altho my 3 year old Lileigh Bean PROMISED she would let me do my homework today if she could stay with me instead of going home...."pacuz, Mmmm-ma, I love you TOOOOOO much!"...she lied!  We had a lot of fun....but this did not get done until tonight and that bean that i love TOOOOOO much back, wore me out!!

Have a wonderful Friday and a Blessed Easter....Passover....or whatever your heart desires!
