My bestie just got a Mac so guess who she gave her old Photoshop to? Yeah that's right, ME. I was so excited until I downloaded it and figured out I don't know a flying fuck about Photoshop. Also I still have a point and shoot camera from like 6 years ago. And it's pink, which somehow makes it harder to take it seriously. So, it looks like it's time for an upgrade. I hope Santa gets the message.
I was watching an episode of Entourage this morning, which is weird because I've never watched that show ever in my life. But anyway, what caught my attention was that it was Yom Kippur so they couldn't drive or use their cell phones. I lost interest before I could figure out if this was because their wives were making them or if that was part of the holiday. Either way, it made me realize I might know even less about Judaism than I do about Photoshop.
L wants to eat regular food now. He looks at everything I eat longingly and tries to get his mouth around it. Today I let him chew on some apple slices because I figured it would be a good thing for him to munch on and plus it might feel good on his poor little gums. Problem is that he refuses to hold the food himself. Even with baby food he has zero interest in holding the spoon. He is content just being fed and keeping his hands clean. (By clean I mean full of saliva and carpet hair from chewing on them and then crawling.) Anyway, if I try to get him to hold the food himself he has quite the meltdown and thinks I am attempting to starve him. So if I want him to gnaw on the apple slice I have to sit there and hold it in his mouth.
He has also recently started saying Mama, which is basically like a symphony to my ears.
Tequila!....was that not the proper response to this post? I feel like tequila is the answer to so many things.
ReplyDeleteJack likes to hold food sometimes. It is a hit or miss kind of thing. But if I am eating an apple I have to let him suck on it between each bite I take otherwise he has a mini-meltdown like he is saying 'get your face off my fucking apple mom!'.
Our issue is he has no teeth so I get worried giving him solids and often have to stop and check that he isn't hoarding them in his cheeks and on the roof of his mouth and waiting to try to swallow them all at once and choke to death.....see I need some tequila. Problem solved.
Photoshop is awesome once you know how to use it. I still barely know how to use it. GR. Adjusting lighting levels is the main function I use - it actually makes a huge difference in your photos. Remind me sometime to email you the (seriously easy 3 step) process.
ReplyDeleteMama... wow. I can't wait until Stella says crazy shit like that!
I <3 Photoshop. Lightroom, too. They pretty much paid Santa's fee this year. Sometimes I am too lazy to use the full photoshop (I still haven't figured out where everything is in the new version) so I cheat and use Elements. It's way easier.
ReplyDeleteL is so stinkin' cute! How do you feel about arranged marriages? ;)
I do love me some photoshop. It is basically the work of either God or wizards.
ReplyDeleteI feel so out of the loop, I don't have Photshop. Have to get my hands on it now. I remember with my little dude and the solids, he was the same way...now he's 5, and he's an android who never eats or sleeps. Grrrrr.
ReplyDeleteHe speaks! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteI want a camera upgrade too...and photoshop.
