Nothing (and everything) at all

It’s been a while (and by that, I mean more than a week) since I’ve done a random stuff post. I know I’ve missed it, I don’t know about you. (I suppose it’s too bad if you haven’t missed my random posts because you’re going to get one anyhow.)

Am really, really wanting Nintendo’s “Wii Fit“. It comes out May 21st (hey, that’s the same day AndyZ will be born!). Have you heard of this? I think I heard of it back before we even got our Wii and it was one of the big reasons I wanted to get the Wii in the first place. Now, reading more about it, I think it’s not only something that I want, but something that I need. At least, that’s what my hips are telling me. And my non-existent stamina. So I’m hoping this isn’t too expensive because I’m not a rich woman (in case you haven’t noticed).
Have you seen my review blog? I’m sorry, there are only three reviews on there so far, but that is something that will be fixed soon. No worries. I have a couple of book reviews that I need to put up and I have some movies I want to talk about. Plus, I joined the Parent Bloggers Network so there’ll be plenty of fun to be had, don’t you fret!
Have discovered the coolest Firefox add-on ever. Well, maybe not EVER, since I’m fairly fond of the add-on/plugin for WordPress that allows me to install themes and plugins on my blog with the click of a button. That’s pretty handy, that is. But this is cool too. It’s called the Better GReader extension and it lets you do some nifty things to trick out your Google Reader. But my favorite thing by far is that I can now actually go to the actual blog post I’m reading without having to leave Reader at all.

Now, all those blogs that do not have full feeds or that I want to comment on or have changed their design, added a poll, etc… I can just easily click over and visit their site RIGHT THERE. No new tab or anything. This is a MIRACLE. For someone who is as uptight about their laziness as I am, this is nothing short of a technological epiphany. Praise be!
Like many of you out there, I have also become a huge fan of Pioneer Woman’s Photography site. Through her, I have become enamored of Photoshop “Actions” and have used hers as well as others rather obsessively over the last several days. I’ve gone back over old photos from YEARS ago to play with these darned things. And it’s so fun. Where has all this stuff been all my life? These actions make my pictures look so much better than they actually are! Judge for yourself:
Before (not 100% the same, but close enough)

After

Neato, huh? Like I said, I’ve been having WAY too much fun with this.
Lastly… I’ve been hanging in there with the whole “house full of monkeys” bit. It helps to have reasonable children, I’m sure. The greatest challenges have come from the times where Liam either needs me for comfort or loves or he’s doing something completely rotten and I’m stuck nursing Evie. But either scenario is a deviation from the norm, for the most part, so we’ve gotten on just fine. And I have had to learn to loosen my standards on a few things because I simply just can’t be all places at all times. Sucks, but there you have it. My biggest issue right now is that it seems like Evie wants to nurse constantly. Am feeling rather cow-like at the moment.
