Hmmm...I'm thinking this year may not be a big blogging year. I see I only wrote two posts last month: pretty lazy. And as far as new recipe posts: forget it. I'm totally burned out on cooking. Tonight I may make Hamburger Helper (gasp!!!)

I still spend quite a bit of time at the computer, but lately it's been to work on pictures. I just finished up a photography class taught by a local guy out of his little backyard studio. It was helpful. And I'm about through my first pass of a Photoshop book, full of great tutorials that I follow along with using my own pictures. If my pictures are looking better, it's due, sadly, to work in front of the computer versus improvement behind the lens. But hopefully that will change soon.

Spring has sprung in the ABQ, which means nice temperatures at the price of 30+ mph wind. This is SUPER for my allergies. Jamie's had a cold for like two weeks. And the kids are a mess, too. I took Jordan in for allergy testing last month due to slight reactions to peanut butter. Sure enough, she has a mild peanut allergy, and a gelatin one, too. But no hay fever (not sure I believe that). And poor baby Jacob's skin is an absolute mess. He's got eczema patches behind both knees (one's really bad), some on his cheeks, a heat rash all over his neck, back, and arms, and some nasty irritated spots on his forehead from his helmet (so now he can't wear that until it heals). And Jacob is so fair and pink compared to the rest of us, I'm afraid to let him see the sun.

So, we'll see how the blog goes. I like writing stuff down, I just have a hard time remembering the stuff I want to write down.
