Excuses, excuses.....

I've been finding it hard keeping up posts recently.  I blame exhaustion and a fear of Adobe Photoshop.  I bought it when I got my new laptop, thinking I'd have the technical know-how to figure it out pretty fast.  Didn't happen.  It scares me.  I need some serious time spent watching YouTube tutorials to figure out how to get it to do the basics of what I want.  And really, I don't want that much.   My old SilkyPix Developer software that came with my camera (and for which I no longer have the installation CD) was much more intuitive to use.  Sure, it can't do all the fancy stuff that Adobe can, but it takes me 1/5th of the time to correct colour/contrast compared with my laborious attempts on Adobe.  Don't get me wrong, I am sure it is all me, I'm sure there are lots of fancy shortcuts I can learn.  But I kinda don't have the time.  Catch-22.  So I know I have lots of posts to write, but that means photos to edit, and that means facing Adobe.  Then my brain shuts down.

I will delve into my Adobe education and get my thumb out, and hopefully you will see some more posts with pretty pictures of an adorable 21month old soon.    

Bogies!

It is hard to think of many things quite as retch-inducing as a snot-leaking toddler.  I mean, she's had the sniffles before but this latest cold was something else.  This was the sight that greeted me the other morning:

Gross, right?  Did it make you gag a little bit?  She seemed pretty pleased with herself though.  Check out the coy lady:

She likes the mega-bogies though.  You should see her displeasure when I try to wipe them away.  Tissues are evil.  Smearing it all over your cheek with the back of your hand is obviously the better way to deal with them.
