mmm coffee club

Went to The Coffee Club this morning for brunch with the girls from work Alien mmmm I had a vanilla iced coffee and pancakes with golden syrup, berries and ice cream om nom nom. It’s nice to hang out with the girls occasionally. I’m not really the sort of person who goes out often, socializing and what not lol I’m a bit of a loner, I prefer to go shopping by my self and when I do go out I like it to be as few people as possible because it’s less people to worry about. But this was really good, sitting around, chatting about crap. They’re really intrigued by how big my boobs have gotten lol I must say, I do hope they don’t get any bigger or I’m going to need a back brace Oops!

I’ve also been mad keen on photoshop lately. I used to hate it, becaues I was so used to Paint Shop Pro but once I actually sat down and did some tutorials I am in love with it! I love doing photomanipulations, and I wish I had a decent camera so I could take pictures of my friends because I find it more satisfying when I can do a manip of someone I know and see how much they love it Cool once I get really good (lets say about a year… lol) I would like to start up a little business doing manips of people but that would be easier if I also did photography… hmmmm. Well anyway, here’s some new manipulations I have done recently!

Been ‘shopping

Photoshopping that is muhahahaha…. lol. I’ve been learning new techniques and generally getting a feel for Photoshop. I just *love* looking at the fabulous photo manipulations etc that people can create and I really want to be apart of that. I created a DeviantArt account and have started submitting my works. Nothing large yet, just basic manipulations that only take a couple of hours (mostly due to reading through tutorials Cool ) Here is 2 of my favourite works so far…



I hope to create full scene photo manipulations soon! I have some great ideas and have seen some great stocks, I even have some of my own which I never thought I’d be able to use as the picture quality isn’t great. But after reading more tutorials I see that they are quite suitable for fantasy style blended manipulations ^_^ If anyone is interested I have added them all onto my DA account, basically free use just read the rules Smile

On a side note, baby is doing fine, I am now 24 weeks (16 to go!!!) Smile She has been more active the last couple of weeks, which is good, I get nervous when I don’t feel her moving about. Other than that a small thank-you to all soldiers who have fought for our freedom, even the non Aussie ones, for today it is ANZAC day. Thank-you xxoo

mmm pancakes

I was a good wifey today. I thought to myself “You know what Tash, you’ve never cooked Jason breakfast” Cool hehehe so I surprised him with pancakes with maple syrup & strawberries this morning! They weren’t too bad either. It was also a nice little going away pressie because he is gone for a week, which isn’t too bad since he usually goes away for a couple of weeks at a time! Hopefully we wont be going away to much while I’m pregnant, I don’t want him to miss anything! I’ve already said I’d abuse, (and I really mean I will go off my nutter) if he gets sent away anywhere near when I’m due! Heads will fly!
On a side note when I was making pancakes I had a random little blob of mix make a face! So I called him Bob lol Here is Bob, say hi… (click for larger view)

I lol’d… yes I say lol. I will eventually get around to making my own layout, I just really haven’t been feeling it lately Frown I’ve been getting bored really easily of layouts *sigh* one day I will make another *nods reassuringly*

I’ve been buying baby things *squeeeee* lol I’m so happy since I found out the gender! I love going into shops and looking at all the cute baby stuff, like in Target I saw the cuuuuutest jumpsuit, it’s a bear, so it has a hood with ears and eyes and a little nose and it has a tail *awwweee* I loves it! I brought the bedding, some toys and books, general stuff like that xD I have to stop though, I haven’t even had my baby shower yet lol.
