It's at 2 in the morning when I really start to have fun with photoshop

I was up late last night - trying to put the final spin on some wedding photos before another busy weekend.  The thing with proofing photos is that it takes time.  I also prefer that time to be in the evening when my light is consistent - ie: no indoor lights or outdoor light.  So after 9pm.  I also tend to nod off at the computer at that time of night - it happens more often then I'd like to admit. This over 40 stuff isn't for wimps.

So last night I drank a pot of strong coffee at about 7:30 and put in five straight hours of photo monkeying proofing. I could have gone all night - but Mark woke up at about 2:30 and the rocking did me in. (It usually does)  And when he woke up for the day at 5 I wished I had gone to bed a wee bit earlier.

I think I'll adopt my Wendy's trala-la way of getting through life. 

trala-la

ah - that works marvelously.

Here are a few random sneaks - photos that I had fun with at two in the morning.

The grooms brother - my husband's first cousin once removed who is dating my sister-in-laws niece.  Did you follow that?  ;)  I think Karissa has been waiting for this one.

 

Something about this one I really like. Sometimes it's the lighting, sometimes it's the expression - here I think it's both.

And this one - has sort of a fifties era feel to it for some reason.  I think because I have a few of my dad like this.

Okay - back to it.  It's looking like a good day to finally catch up on laundry, I've got company coming over sometime today, a drive across town planned for this afternoon and helping the in-laws pack up some things this evening.  It's a good thing I'm so busy or else I'd get bored.

Hey, between "tra la la" and "not responding" you have the makings for getting through just about anything! Good Luck - Don't let the turkeys get you down!!

I'm sleepy too from staying up too late. We'll be a very entertaining duo!

I am also feeling the "no sleep pain" my daughter has been up hourly the last three nights. I think I'm going to be making a pot of coffee today!(After the the first that is)

I don't have the excuses you have but I'm feeling it too from a short sleep night. After waking up at 4am, I took a 30 minute nap at 7a.m. and I'm hoping that holds me for the next 12 hours.
