Well I decided to try and play with my flash a little last night. I know these aren’t the best but I’m hoping I got the eye pop action to work on the colored one.

Well DH and I have dealt with food poisoning all day since 4am. I will never eat at that fish and chip place again! Thank God Jake was in a mood and didn’t want to eat his dinner. I did manage to remember about the eclipse just as it was coming out of the shadow. We didn’t have the clearest night, but I am definatly in love with my little $13 remote. I don’t think it’s too bad for a beginner. I did shot in Raw + JPEG. I can’t remember my settings, but I just followed the ones in Scott Kelby’s book.

What a lazy Sunday. Didn’t do a darn thing till DH got home from work at 4. I did manage to get the grocery shopping done with out someone wanting every cookie he sees. So I come home and wonder why the house is so quiet. They are both in my DH’s office playing the Wii. So after dinner I let him play it some more, just so it’s quiet just for a little bit longer. Please excuse the dirty face and unbrushed hair, I did not want to hear the tantrum for that. He’s been in a mood today. Gotta love the tongue out for concentration.

Well my finger felt much better today. I can’t believe half of my nail is gone. Ugh! So I went to JC Pennys today and they had a whole bunch of stuff on sale. Jake needed shorts because California’s weather is so unpredictable. Found such cute stuff cheap! So here is one outfit we got, and Jake ran in the house wanting to take pictures with pretty flowers. So here they are and any CC is welcome. I didn’t mean to center him the whole time, but I had to crop out alot of my backyard, because it looks horrible right now. TFL

Happy Valentine’s Day! Today was pretty boring, just laundry and took the dog to the vet. I did manage to take a nice picture of some tulips I got at the market. Any CC is always welcomed. I’m always up for more tips and tricks.
