So What Wednesday

Today I'm linking up with Shannon for another installment of

Today, I'm saying So What If...
* I'm really kind of over this whole school thing!  Once again, I'm a day late on my assignments (which doesn't seem to be costing me 10 points per day like it's supposed to).  But for every day I'm late with Unit 4 that's less time to put to Unit 5.  And I have a paper due in 4 weeks.  But for the life of me I just can't seem to find my "care" button.
* I've basically given up on the attempted weekly plan.  It's kind of pointless when I'm gone for a week at a time every other week and I know Mr S isn't going to do some of the things on the cleaning list while I'm gone.  So I just wing it when I'm home, again.
* I still haven't fully unpacked from being gone last week.  What's the point?  Most of what I packed is getting packed again this weekend for my trip on Monday.  I took out what I needed to wash...the rest just saves me some time.
* I sometimes don't like using my new camera (Canon Rebel T3i) because it's so bulky and heavy.  But I still want the zoom lens to go with it for those super-close shots!  (and I do have a really nice camera bag that helps with toting it around when I do take it)
* The only domesticated things I did last night were unload the dishwasher and two loads of laundry (which, if you know me, is a miracle of itself).  I did make dinner, but it was an easy meal-in-a-bag thing that didn't require any thought, prep, or huge amount time.  Maybe tonight....(see first bullet point)
* My current gaming obsession is Dragonvale on the iPad.  It was free and the dragon's are so cute when they first hatch!  Yes, I am that girl.
And that's what I'm saying So What to this week.

Thursday's Through The Lense

I have SO MANY pictures on my camera to unload still, it really is ridiculous how lazy I'm being about this! And there are more to be taken this weekend with CHRISTMAS (my fav holiday!)!!!

But, since I've not downloaded them to my computer and edited, I'll leave you with a couple from our October trip to Disneyland.

My new camera has some pretty cool built in editing features that I discovered. Here is the original picture:

This is the "Fish Eye" effect:

And this is my favorite, the "miniature" effect:

I love my new toy!! :)

Thursday's Through The Lense

Let's see if I can get back on track with this one! Here's a couple pictures taken with the new camera!! :)

This is the view from our patio. It just happened to be a really nice night for picture taking; usually it's not nearly so pretty!

A field in Hanford, CA - there was storm coming in and I LOVE the contrast of the dark clouds with the greens and yellows of the corn field. And yes, I did pull off the side of a back country road to take this picture!

Another sunset off the balcony here at the apartment. I love that the dark cloud in the front kind of looks like a dragon swooping down!

Enjoy!
