Not so smart

Some days I think I am just so smart and organized and then something happens and I come back to reality.

I've been trying to get on top of the family meals and get a bit ahead every day. We go through a lot of eggs, so I bought another 18 pack knowing full well I had 1 1/2 packs still at home. I decided to hard boil the last of the one pack and keep them in the fridge for breakfast or a quick snack. I cut a bunch in half and heated them up on toast with cheese for breakfast. Very yummy! My son didn't want that, he just wanted the eggs by themselves. So threw 2 in the microwave for him. DID YOU KNOW....that eggs will explode in the microwave when they are whole? Well I sure didn't! I mean, looking back at it now, it makes sense. But I didn't have time to think about that while I was patting myself on the back for being so gosh darn organized. Yes, the eggs blew up, well at first, just one of them. Then silly me opened the micro and stood in front of it. The second one blew up...in my face. So I had, quite literally, egg on my face. It hurt a lot!

I told some friends about this at school. One asked if I was doing experiments with the kids again. I should have said yes!

Where there's a will, there's a way

I've been venturing into the world of photography in order to learn some things. I've learned how to watermark my photo's, which I think is very important if you're going to put your pictures on the web. Did you know that you can take pretty much any picture off the web, copy it and use it for whatever you want? Well I know this because I have done just that - to see if it can be done. I don't want my pictures, that I've worked hard to get, to be used by just anybody. I have also looked into stock photography. I was challenged to do something about my desire to become an actual photographer and not just an everyday person that takes pictures. I'm not sure if stock photography will be something I pursue. But in looking at the sites, I've been able to admit out loud, that my photo's are fabulous. And I don't think it's just me that would think so. Saying out loud that I am good at something is not something I've been very good at. So I'll say it here again. My photo's are great! They may not be everyone's taste, but I love them and they are great! I'm working on creating a website designed to show off what I have done. Once they are watermarked and I find the right website venue, I'll put a link here. For now, I'll be happy knowing that I am good at something.
