Layers


I received Paintshop pro for my birthday last year. I hate reading instruction booklets, so I have limited its use to things that are simple. I got bored though and finally learned how to layer images. The result is a bit of a mess, but I like it nonetheless.

Love and the Sound of Music


Happy Valentines Day




Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked miserable past
I must have had a moment of truth
For here you are
Standing there
Loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth
Or childhood
I must have done something good

Paths



Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

My Favorite Things #2



Margaritas are the most festive of drinks. The best ones are enjoyed with friends in a Mexican restaurant somewhere in NorthWest Georgia on two dollar margarita night. (Although I suspect most people would disagree with me.) Since I no longer live in Georgia, I have to resort to the next best thing. Luckily for me, Larry makes yummy margaritas.



Here is the general recipe:

1 part silver tequila

1 part blue curacao

3 parts sweet and sour mix (the cheaper the mix the better)

1 splash orange juice



Combine ingredients in shaker with ice and shake it. Pour into a glass that does not tip over easily. Enjoy!
