~ This and that and Thursday ~

                       

Just a normal, regular day today except for the snow and ice.  I had to take a bit of a detour on my way to work this morning as the highway was closed because of a 9 car pile up.  Not much news on that except I had to drive the back roads and it was slow going.  They were coated in ice and many vehicles had a hard time getting traction.  Mostly the smaller trucks, apparently the warm weather led them to believe winter was over and they took out their extra weight.  Slow and steady was my motto.

 

I want to apologize for the missed IM's this evening.  Between watching my boys and playing in PSP I never even saw them.  Game was good and the boys won.  They have now tied the franchise record for most wins in a season.  Ryan Miller also now holds the franchise record for most wins in a season. Congrats Ryan!!  We have two more regular season games and currently they are in a battle with Detroit for the Presidents Trophy (best record in the league for the regular season).

 

I had some fun with graphics too.  The opening graphic was one that I just thought was pretty.  I liked the little brook.  I didn't even realize at first it was a golf course.  I zoned in on that water and what I was going to do.  Figured with golf it was a good one to use as the Masters started today.  LOL  The bookworm... oh he was just too cute.  I added some other graphics, the window and scene and had some fun with it.  I spent so long trying to get the globe to rotate, but I was not happy with the results.   It twitched and rocked and lost it's clarity.  I dumped it and just made the light blink a bit.  Don't be surprised if you see that globe moving in another graphic.  I only gave up for tonite, not for good.  I am far from a perfectionist, but I hate to have my graphics look spazzy. (ok so some of you think all of them are anyway) I thought about glitter but sometimes when you add glitter to other movements it looks pathetic.  I hate when they get distorted or move in a jumpy/flashing motion.  Makes my head hurt and I'd rather spare you that experience.  I still like it, but I'd be much happier with the globe moving. The little flower girl.  I love her.  The actual graphic came in an egg type setting.  It was pretty but I wanted her on one of my pictures.  I removed the existing background and put her in a picture I had taken last year around this time.  I was playing around with the effects and thought this way gave it the look of her walking out of the picture.  Kinda... what do you think?  That reflective pool.  Ohhhhhhh with the freezing temperatures we are having I wanted to be at that garden and NOW!  Anyone care to join me for a nice girly drink with an umbrella by the pool?  Ahhh and last but not least sweetheart kisses... plain and simple, but with lots of meaning.  With that I will blow kisses and bid you good night, surely it is more then obvious I really have nothing to say. 

 

Wish you all a good night and a great Friday.  I have a half day..... whuuuuuuu huuuuuuuu

 

Hugs
