Photoshop

You can turn a blury, kind of ugly & blah photo into something cool-ish...
Before:

After:

Kind of antique-y, old-y looking...

And yet another reason I need a fancy camera. Haha. I think i'm so amazing...and i know i'm not...

Updates

Sorry I have not blogged a lot lately...seems like there has been a lot happening, but I can't remember all of them...we've been too busy!

Here is what I remember:

1. We have had a TON of snow and it is sooo freezing!

3. The Green Machine drives fantastically in the snow-yay!

2. We are working like crazy people.

3. A lot of work goes into the ward Christmas party...this I now know...and I didn't even do as much as some of the others.

4. I'm tired.

5. I got called racist and deaf (along with a few other explitives) at JC Penneys the other day. Haha. Who knew I was racist, deaf, and a female dog? I didn't. Hahaha. It was actually quite ridiculous, maybe I will tell you the story sometime when I have a few more minutes, but honestly, I don't think the lady was all there...

6. I got yelled at by the Stake Center building coordinator...that's a fun story too. Haha. (I don't think i'm doing so good this week...no one seems to be very happy with me.)

7. I have NO Christmas shopping done, oh wait I did get one thing...

Awwwwwwww Yeah!

So, things have been crazy over here and I haven't even gotten to do ANY Christmas shopping. Despite the fact, we were able to take a little time off to go and meet Glenn Beck! ...Okay, so all we really did was shake his hand as he signed our book, but, really, it was so exciting!! We love Glen, we've been listening to his show now for a couple years and really like it. If you don't know who he is, he's a Conservative talk show host. He does a radio show as well as a show on FOX news. He is Awesome! Here are a couple of pictures:
Of course this was the MOST ridiculous picture of me ever, so I had to block out the explicit images...
They didn't let you take pictures while you were with him, so sorry he is so far away...you get the idea.


Jon's friend also owns a little sign shop close to the bookstore where we saw Glenn so he made a bunch of signs and sold them to people waiting in line. It was so funny, he made us a sign that said, "Hello ya sick twisted freaks!"....if you listen to the show, it's funny...if you don't listen, you might think it's retarded, so disregard, but whatev...

I need a Vacation

I am in need of a vacation--I'm so sick of working.



Who's all in, and where should we go? Somewhere warm....maybe a cruise...the Carribean?

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...


This is really exciting for me...ever since Jon and I have been married we have NEVER gotten to have a Christmas tree. Either we were going to be out of town, or some other reason, it has just never quite happened. Well this year I was determined to have a tree. Awhile ago my Grandpa called me up and asked if I would be interested in one of his old artificial trees, this was probably the best part because I had planned on purchasing one & it would have put me out at least $100 bucks or so... It already had lights wound around all the branches so that cut out another step for me too, and all I had to do was decorate it!

Of course, I tried to do it as thrift-aly as possible, and so I just tried to use things I already had. I did have to buy the poinsetta stems and the red and gold balls, but all I spent was $15. I had the gold ribbon already and just tied a big bow for the top and wraped the rest around the tree, I had the pinecones and just tied a ribbon around them so that I could hang them & that's all I did!

P.S. Sorry the pictures are so blurry...I had to turn the flash off and aparently I couldn't hold very still.

Our Elf Selfs

This is always fun to do each year... Bet you didn't know my dogs could dance?! The best part is when Jon does the splits at the end!
