Virtual Coffee

I can’t believe it’s Tuesday already. The past week just flew by for me. Hmm…looking back, I can’t figure out why. I’ve been busy, but busy doing a whole lot of nothing.

I wish we really were meeting for coffee today (even though I said I’d never do that.) I could use a break from my own personal little rat race; some time to just talk, laugh, and not have to worry about things like raw ground meat getting smashed into the carpet, or 15-pound bags of dog food being dumped on the floor, or homework, or paperwork, or pre-teen emotional outbursts...whew...sorry, I was venting. I could go on, but I won't, and I wouldn't even mention these things if we were really having coffee today.

Instead, I would tell you that I'm just happy to meet up with you. I love Tuesdays, and our Virtual Coffee time. It's almost the next best thing to having a real break...right? Right.

Anyway, I'm full of questions today...like, what kind of photo editing software do you like to use? The more I play with my camera, the more I want to play with my camera, and experiment with all kinds of things pertaining to it. I guess I'm just feeling like I'm at a point where I want more. And...

Do you have any good, easy recipes to share? I saw that photo of Amy's salad the other day, and it kind of inspired me to make a concerted effort in the cooking department. I'm one of those people who likes to bake, but doesn't like to cook, but I'd like to change that. And...

Are you in fall-mode yet? I haven't been, until this morning. I got that first whiff of dying leaves. (Is there a better way of describing that smell? If you think of something, please let me know.) I'm getting excited now about apple cider, hikes in the woods, and Halloween!

What do you have planned for the day? Last question, I promise.

If I don't talk to you before next Tuesday, have a great week!

it sounds like your floor is taking quite a beating! yikes!
a good dinner recipe? i will try to think of something good to share. i can't think of anything off the top of my head, which kinda goes to show you i don't do all that much nightly cooking!
i use photoshop... but i am not a good editor. i mostly just don't. edit.

I was also smitten with the photo of that salad... yum!! :)
I use Flickr/Picnik for photo hosting and editing. It's pretty user friendly... but I'm coveting Photoshop, of course!
(I'll play along at some point this week... I won't miss a virtual coffee!!)
