The men have gone fishing, so the "fishing widows" have gone shopping.

"What?" you may be asking. "One week, no blog?" Well... there's nothing to blog about on the adoption front, except that I've been trying to reteach myself some lullaby tunes. This past month I've decided that it's time to stop designing blogs for charity, and we're winding that down. My new interest is photography, as I long to take photos of Hannah Claire. I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 and I'm doing a lot of reading about how to use the program and about photo editing. I'm playing around with some photo actions, and they're really cool. If any readers are photo editing people and have some favorite tutorial sites to share, I'd love your input... especially for sites that have great downloadable FREE actions. I feel like the Photoshop learning curve is so steep that it's been hard for me to jump on the bandwagon.

I dropped Kevin off Friday morning at 5:45am at the local greasy spoon diner where my dad, my uncle, and THE GUYS were meeting to head north to a remote lake in Ontario for a week of fishing for walleye, pike, and bass. This is Kevin's first time doing something like this, as he's only fished for bluegill and sunfish before in ponds and lakes in Indiana. When I dropped him off, I told the group, "Now, be gentle with him." They laughed at me. I have a feeling Kevin will come home with a sunburn, chapped lips, a whole lotta stories, and a new nickname. And maybe not so many fish!

Now that Mom and I are "fishing widows" as the men off in Canada, we're going shopping this weekend. I've got the coupons lined up, the sales staked out, and we're ready to go. A trip to the botanical gardens is on our list too. See ya.

After posting this, I remembered a post at Waiting for Sophie where Shana has some great links for Photoshop Actions . I'm checking out the sites that her commenters left. If you are interested in learning about actions too, check out that post.
