Photography
Posted by: | CommentsSo one of the things that I’ve really been spending more time with lately is photography. I’ve always loved taking pictures and have always loved creating photo albums and then later scrapbooking but I got a new camera last year and have absolutely fallen in love with photography. The problem is I don’t really know how to use my camera to its fullest capabilities. Does anyone know of a good website that has good photography instruction? I don’t really have the money to take a class or anything right now but if I found a good website or even a good book I could get I would be tickled to death. 
If you know of a good one please comment below!
Top 5 TV shows I’m into right now
Posted by: | CommentsI haven’t been a huge TV watcher for a long time but lately it seems like I’ve been getting into TV just a little bit more. I think the main reason is that my life is so busy and stressful lately with homeschooling, teaching, running kids to activities, and just life in general that it’s nice to sit down and escape into a TV show every once in awhile. Here are the ones I’ve been watching lately:
(In no particular order)
1. Reba
I love this whole series and just recently purchased the last season on DVD. I can watch these as much as I want, whenever I want!
2. Home Improvement
I’ve watched reruns of this show off and on over the years but lately I’ve got it set on my DVR and I’ve been watching it pretty regularly. It’s a great way to wind down at the end of the day – laughing and watching a good, wholesome show.
3. Flip This House
This is a show hubby and I like to watch together when we have time. It’s a fun way to hang out and spend time together plus get to see an ugly house get turned into something beautiful!
4. The Biggest Loser
Hubby and I used to watch this together too – he’s not into it so much anymore. The season before last kind of turned him off to it. They were just so full of drama in that season and just back-stabbing jerks that it wasn’t enjoyable to watch anymore. Last year was SO much better. This year it seems like it’s kind of in the middle. There is some drama going on but most of them seem to be pretty nice. I just love seeing these people totally transform themselves! It’s truly amazing! The only beef that I have with this show is that some of the exercise advice that they give seems against everything I’ve ever learned, not to mention dangerous! It makes me wonder how much is just for show and how much is actually what they are teaching those people!
5. So You Think You Can Dance
This is a show my daughter and I LOVE! We really enjoy watching this together and seeing all the incredible dancers and dances.
What about you? What are your top five favorite shows?
Do you need a great laugh?
Posted by: | CommentsYou HAVE to watch these videos! They are both really short and they will literally make you laugh out loud!!!
Well, I’ve decided to jump into the world of Twitter. I’ve never really thought it was something I’d get into but I hear more and more people talking about it so I thought I’d give it a try. Problem is… I have NO idea what I’m doing on there! haha! Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon!
My Twitter name (is that even what you call it?) is MLBAH – momlovesbeingathome was too long. Let me know if you have one, who you follow, and what you think of Twitter!
Learning about giveaways!
Posted by: | CommentsI have a book giveaway coming up this week and while doing some research to figure out the best way to do said giveaway (because I’ve never done that before) I found this blog called Mommies with Cents. They have a great giveaway going on right now for the 2010 Entertainment book! I love those books and would love to win it so I’m entering the contest.
So, I’m learning about giving books away and trying to win some for myself! haha! You ought to stop over there and check it out – it’s a pretty cute blog! You don’t have to enter the drawing though – I don’t want TOO many people entering and ruining my chance of winning. j/k!
A blog you’ve got to check out!!
Posted by: | CommentsI found this blog – Now That’s Nifty - through another link and it is one of the funnies blogs I’ve seen in awhile! Here is my favorite post. Still haven’t gone over there to check it out? Here are some excerpts to show you what I mean (the are way more just as funny but I tried to only put a few! haha!):
- More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
- Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realise you’re wrong.
- Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front.
- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
- Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
- Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.
- There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
- I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
- “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
- I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
- I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
Are you laughing out loud yet?? I was!! Head on over there and read the rest!
I feel a little silly for this but…
Posted by: | CommentsI don’t do much surfing on the web and I just accidentally came across a thing that google has that I didn’t know about. I’m sure all of you already know about it (hence the title of this post!) but at igoogle you can have a whole page with all kinds of cool gadgets! They have news feeds, calendars, to do lists, games, weather reports. How cool!
Yeah, I know… I don’t get out much! haha!
