Photo Fun in Live Writer

Apparently Maddie?s bed wasn?t quite up to her soft and comfy standards this afternoon.

She laid on it for a solid minute before getting up and nosing the bed to fold on top of itself. Poor thing was just lookin? for a little extra cushion. She is a lady of leisure after all.

By the way, I find it interesting that when I come home to let Maddie out at lunch she?ll go outside to pee & poop (which takes like 2 minutes) and then immediately comes back inside to lay on her bed or chair. I would think after being locked in a crate all morning that she would want to spread her wings, but nope ? she just wants to sleep.

You see that face? That?s a ?mommy please stop disturbing me so I can sleep on my now extra comfy bed? face. Love her!

No cereal for breakfast meant cereal for snack today.

This was a freebie from the Chicago Marathon Expo. It was sweet ? very sweet! ? and reminded me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. A great throw back to childhood.

My lunch today was a fun platter of this and that.

One LARGE HoneyCrisp Apple was my inspiration for this meal. I really wanted the apple with a side of almond butter for lunch and decided to balance it out with carrots, broccoli, and Fritos.

I believe Apple and Carrots are my favorite AB dippers (minus chocolate).

The Fritos were a left over swag grab from the Healthy Living Summit. I?ve been hoarding a bag for months now and finally decided to break into it.

I LOVE Fritos, but it takes me FOREVER to eat a bag on my own because I eat such small portions at a time. Usually the bag goes stale before I can finish it. Not cool. I was hoping an occasion would present itself where I could share the bag, but it never did. Now, it?s a race against the clock to eat it all before it goes bad. No really a bad thing, I like a good challenge!

Windows Live Writer

For my fellow Window Live Writer nerds out there I wanted to share a cool feature that I just discovered today (and am probably really behind on this, so forgive me if it?s nothing new.)

After you insert photos into your post this nifty bar appears on the right hand side.

Click on the +

And select ?Color Pop?

It turns this photo

Into this.

You can also do B&W

Or Sephia

Or Sharpen?. but Sharpen makes Maddie look a little scary.

I love learning new things!

Oh and if you blog and have a PC this is my official public service announcement to PLEASE Google Windows Live Writer and download ASAP. You can thank me later.

And if you have a Mac download Ecto, but be warned it will be more of a love/hate relationship?.
