Just Another Day

Today I am officially 29 years old. I have never put a lot of thought into my age or worrying about how old I am ... it is merely a number. I have always felt like I was born in the wrong year or dimension for my fellow supernatural/other world phenomenon believers. I like to keep this day a secret. This will be the first time in a very long time I have mentioned it. It has always been just another day for me. No excitement. No fun. Just work and keep it moving. My daughter sweetly wished me happy birthday and said she wanted to make me a cake but did not know how. I told her she did not need to make me a cake; her sweet smile is enough for me. Usually the day is a downer for me but I think today will be a "whatever...and I will do whatever when I fee like it" kind of day...lol! That was a lot huh?!? Anywayyy...

I have been playing around in photoshop with my photo processing. I have so many actions that I spent money on but most times it is my own way of editing that I like. I like clean, colorful photos but I also like the matte finish with rich color. Creamy tinted whites are okay some days. It really depends on the photo. I have a photo of my daughter from the other day enjoying a bowl of Froot Loops. I love, love lifestyle images. The ones that are not posed, but clutter-free and all you see is "the moment." I tried to get that in this photo.

Project Life Update & More

Yes. I am still working on Project Life. Yes. I am still on 2012. Now I read somewhere that there should be no such thing as "being behind on Project Life." I cannot remember where but I am slightly offended...mainly because I am behind. Lol! You know working and being mama and doing all of that other stuff around the house does not leave a lot of time to do whatever the heck I wanted. I mean....my daughter's albums are pretty much up to date...just need to print some pages. My project life pages are not so simple. I know they should be but I wanted them to reflect me and what I like...and that's not always simple. So...I will do this my way and maybe I will be able to "catch up" since I have time now. Sooo in honor of that ramble...guess what...I finished a couple more pages...lol!!

Project Life: Days 61 - 67

Yes- I am posting a very late project life page...lol! To give you an idea of how behind I am, today is day 288.... umm hmm...lol! I am still going though. :) Here is my latest page:

All About the Words

We had a long rough night Thursday and Friday was pretty much the same thing. Aida has been waking up every night around 2 or 3 am to go potty. No matter how much juice, or milk she has or does not have before bedtime, it never fails that she wakes up at the same time. Thursday night she had a tummy ache and would not stay in bed. I hate when she has tummy issues; I hate seeing her in pain or uncomfortable.  Thankfully she was okay by the time she got settled in at daycare. I called to check on her a few hours after dropping her off and she was fine and playing as usual. When I arrived to pick her up, she just screamed "Mommy" and ran to me...almost made me lose my balance. Little moments like that keep reminding me of how much I am not ready for her to attend school next year (lol!).
