Nothing to say.

One of the good things about longtime friends

is that you can send an email message with just one line and you don't have to go through the "How are you? How are the kids. Blah blah" bullshit.

I made a new Hugh tag. I made one for my BFF's daughter because she has excellent taste too. I sent it with the message "whatever".

:-)

New tags

I was looking at some of my old tags and decided to create a 'credit card' for my current "home".



It makes me hungry.

So then I made one of Hugh.



It makes me hungry too...

Click & Comment Monday

Just comment, LOL. It doesn't have to be a comment on what I post. Although I will welcome that too. Comment on the other blogs you visit too. I find that if I comment on someone's blog, they come see mine and comment too. So if you're looking to increase traffic to your blog, that's one way to do it!

So, technically it's Monday, but it's still Sunday for me.

I've had a headache all day. Thankfully, it wasn't a migraine. Regardless, I've had to pop Advil every 4 hours or it would have gotten really bad. I hope it doesn't turn into a migraine...

I slept until 1 pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe The Boy didn't wake me up at 8 am watching his damned cartoons.

Then I woke up, got on the computer until about 3. The Boy had taped an animated "Hellboy" movie and he wanted me to watch it with him.

So I went and got on the bed, and promptly fell asleep, LOL. I woke up at 8pm.

It might have something to do with the muscle relaxer I had to take on Saturday. My left leg was as hard as a rock. I could barely walk. I was afeered I'd fall down the stairs again. But I haven't done that in a couple of months *knock wood*

So anyway, after I FINALLY got The Boy to GO TO BED! at 9:30 -

He kept complaining that he wasn't sleepy.
Me - Well if you'd go to bed at 9 on the weekends, you wouldn't have a hard time going to sleep on Sunday night!
He - *whining* But I don't want to have a bed time on the weekends!
Me - Well then you will lie in bed for hours staring at the ceiling and then fall asleep in school tomorrow and get a demerit.
He - You're mean
Me - Count sheep
He - I'm going to go downstairs and watch TV until I get sleepy
Me - No, because you'll fall asleep and then when you have to come back upstairs you'll wake yourself up
He - I'm going downstairs
Me - I will run and jump on you and hold you down until you pass out or go to sleep
He - You can't run or jump
Me - SHUT UP!
He - *starts going down the stairs*
Me - BOY
He - FINE! I'm turning on the air conditioner. Go downstairs! I can't sleep when you're up here making noise
Me - Now you know how I feel
He - Yeah yeah, noise noise

I came downstairs eventually. I made a Hugh tag with the glasses. But it's grunge. I don't like grunge. But I'm really in a PSP block and I figured I'd try it.

I hate it, LOL.

Have you ever read Bryanboy's blog? He always talks about how fat he is. He makes me sick. But I can't stop reading because he's soooooooooooooooo "flamboyant". Anyway, I remind myself of Bryanboy *shudder* when I talk about my PSP shit. "I hate it! It's so bad. Ewwwwwww."

That's the thing about making tags. It seems like whatever I hate, other people love. And when I love it, nobody wants it. Crazy.



I'm wearing the Hugh tag I made yesterday to see if anyone asks if it's adoptable. If they ask, I might make it an adoptable. After a week, I might start wearing this one. But something tells me that I am the only person who finds Hugh Laurie in glasses "cute"...

Here's what happened

I started out, YESTERDAY, to make a Jeff Goldblum/Raines tag.

I found some good pictures. I made the tag. Once again, no room to put a name. (I don't know why I have to do this every couple of months...) Let me show you the tag before I talk about it.



So I like the blend, I like the color even though it's pink again (I don't know why I have to make pink tags, either...) I like the pics of Jeff. He looks delicious. And I like the glass effect at the bottom.

Name doesn't look good anywhere on it.

So I thought "Well, I'll remember how I did that glass thing and make one of Hugh" because I have some pics of Hugh wearing glasses that I think are sooooooo cute. :-)



So I started on that.

I don't know how it happens...I get distracted or discouraged or whatever. It doesn't help that I'm a perfectionist. Or that I have 1,000,027 things going on in my head all at once.

Anyway, those pictures of Hugh with the glasses turned into this:



See???

No glasses. No glass effect on his name. His name isn't even on there.

I had another idea about making a blended tag about all of the awards that Hugh has won (SAG, Emmy, etc.) and that didn't happen either, LOL.

I feel like I have no control!

I mean, I like the tag. I'm not happy with the name, but the rest of it is good.

But it's totally different from what I set out to do 24 hours ago.

And I'm cold.

Because I'm bored...

NO! I won't subject you to more Hugh Laurie youtube videos, LOL.

But I still have PSP block. I've made some new adoptables, and they seem popular. But I knew they would be.

I can't create anything NEW. I love it when I make something that takes hours and then that's popular. I'm proud of that.

The current adoptables are popular because they're "cute".

*sigh*

The only "cute" things I like are my son and puppies....

I have an idea. It could potentially take hours. I'm off to try it as long as my back can stand sitting here.

Ta!

I have PSP block!!!

*sigh*

That is all.

I did another layout

I love Jaana's Templates! They are so creative and pretty. I'm sure I didn't do it justice, but whatever.

The template is by Janna, and the papers are Ocean Shades by ESNQueen? I got them from Brandi's blog.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I made a paperclip.

LOL!

I'm sure that sounds strange.

Anyway, I was making another scrapbook set and I didn't want to use other people's paperclips, I wanted to make my own. There are too many reasons to go into.

So I started looking for a Preset Shape that looked like a paperclip. Preset shapes are things that you can use to make a circle or whatever but you can put it in your colors or patterns right from the start.

There were none.

So I had to make my own.

So I did. I made a perfect paperclip. But I had saved it in the wrong format. :-( So I couldn't save it as a preset shape.

Then I had to read HOW TO MAKE CUSTOM PRESET SHAPES online. Found out that I had to use Vector shapes, not Raster shapes. I hate vector shapes, LOL.

But anyway, I first made the paperclip with 3000 vector lines. I saved it as a preset.

Then I loaded it and used it.

OMG! I hadn't realized that the preset shape tool would show every line I made. It was ugly, LOL. I mean, in the end it still looked like a paperclip (or as close as I could get...) but I was not satisfied with all the different vector layers.

Then I got the bright idea to make a paperclip out of letters.

Did you know a paperclip is basically U, J, and I? Well it is.

So I made the paperclip out of those shapes. I got it as smooth as I could.

The problem with vector layers is that you can't delete/erase just a part of it. If you try, it deletes the whole vector. That's why I hate vector layers.

Raster layers you can delete a pixel or 99% of the thing. It's more freedom.

But anyway, I got as close to a paperclip as I could. When I use it, I will turn it into a raster layer and smooth it out. But this is close enough for government work!

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I didn't even realize I've been doing this shit for 3 hours, LOL.

I'm proud of my ugly paperclip!

I AM the shit!

Got a new job!

Not a real job.

A new siggy artist job.

What attracted me to this place was the manager had a promo on Delphi that said "New artists needed. NO DRAMA!"

I wrote about the drama at the last place I worked on my old blog.

But anyway

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Now I just have to make blinkies or something to give out my new adoptables address.

Night.

omg!!!!!!!!

You know that Hugh Laurie tag I made yesterday?

I offered it at my PSP group for people if they wanted it. (There are a lot of House fans there)

Anyway, today I saw 2 offers that looked like magazine covers. I've been doing that shit forever. And credit cards.

I guess I should be flattered that they're copying, but DAMN. At least wait a couple of weeks before you bite off me.

Happy August!

Yesterday I didn't take Evan to football practice. Becuase I didn't feel like it & it had rained and I didn't feel like slipping & falling in the gee dee alabama clay and staining my clothes.

So today his cousins are here from ND and I told my mother I'd drop him off at her house after fb practice.

Then it come a storm! (As these southerners say) so I decided to forgo practice and I just took him to her house. By the time I parked and got in the house my clothes looked like I'd been in a waterfall.

Whatever.

Here's a tag I made today, LOL.

He is so flippin hot in this pic!

I watched the Inside the Actor's Studio yesterday.

Awwwwwww. Poor Hugh.

And poor Evan because he asked me to change my desktop so I used that pic.

MUUUUUUUUUHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

I found about 300 pics of him online today. Ones with the stubble. He looks too British without the stubble, LOL.




So I think I'll be able to make a Hugh tag for every day of the year.

Yum.

Let's see...do I have anything to say that isn't about the 2 men in my life?

No.

Bye.

So

I make tags with Paintshop Pro. Every 2 weeks we have a super siggy sunday and I offer my tags at my MSN group. This is one I made today. It's frikken huge! (File size)


But I'm proud of it so I'm showing it off. I hope you aren't dial up.

MUUUUUUUUUUHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
