Not Me!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.



This week I have been a great wife. I have not neglected my husband once, or got mad because he forgot our son's cup and we had to turn around to get it. I haven't told him what a great father or husband he has been. I don't take him for granted, Nope Not Me!!!

My house is spick and span. I haven't unloaded the dishwasher or put the dishes in the sink in the dishwasher. I don't have toys and misc items strung out through the house, my floor needs to be swept. I need to fold 3 loads of laudry and wash laundry lol...Nope Not Me!!!

I have everything wrapped. I don't have a single thing wrapped, everthing is in my guest room, which I need to clean out because I have guest coming over. Nope Not Me!!

Another Giveaway

OK I have fallen in love with taking pictures and editing them. I recently took some pictures for my brother, sister-in-law and nieces before my brother got deployed for his second tour to Iraq. Well I downloaded the trail version on Lightroom and let me tell you if I could fork over that money to get me the real version I would go broke. I am not a professional photographer so I don't see it worth paying that much. But I was reading one my Blogs called MckMama, whom I have gotten great information about taking pictures. Well I was reading her blog and she has a chance where I can win Lightroom OMG!!! That would be so awesome!!! You would be amazing on what you can do with this program...I mean I am not savvy on all the things you can do with the program but I am familiar enough to know that that is a heck of a thing to win. Here are a couple pictures of E with me using the Lightroom!

Here is the original picture from our little photo shoot:

And here is the same photo with me using the editing tools of Lightroom!

Not so ready

I am not so ready for Christmas to be here. I am just not in the Christmas spirit this year!! I have all of my nieces presents bought, but they are not wrapped. I have to finish Easton's teachers gifts, and those aren't wrapped of course, I got Easton's gift for his little friend at scholl bought but like the rest of the gifts it isn't wrapped, I haven't bought any gifts for Easton yet, so guess what I am going to have to do wrap those too, we have a Christmas party to go tomorrow night, and those gifts aren't wrapped....are you getting the picture! I am over my head in wrapping gifts. Another trait I get from my mom, I can' just wrap them, I must put a bow on them and make sure they are creased just right, and find cute little tags...but this year...I think I am just going to wrap them...crap I might let Easton wrap them, lol we will see.

I am not looking forward to this Christmas party tomorrow night. Because I have to make a easy cheese ball, and I am also going to make some Wassail, which from what I heard was really easy. But I know our Friend we will call her Tammy is going to want to play games until the crack of dawn, which is fine, but I work, she is a SAHM (stay at home mom) who sleeps in until 10. I have a son who gets up at 6. So David and I get tired early. Well then there will be other kids there. Lil Bean is 9 months old and will not for the love of pete go to bed. Poor thing last time we were there they stayed until 12 and she was so fussy cause she was so tired but they wouldn't leave and then there is Big Girl, who isn't quite old enough to play games but wants to play games with us, so a game of Pictonary will turn in about bunch of scribble when she draws so then I get frustrated, because I can get very competitive at the game. And we usually play guys against girls so the guys always laugh because she has to be on our team, beacause she is a girl. And then you Taz who will run around like a banchie with his head cut off and just scream because he can't control it...messing everything us and spilling drinks he is just crazy.

So I am glad that we have to go to my family's Christmas the next morning so that means we won't be staying late...Thanks Goodness!

Merry Christmas!!!
