OK, so who wants an update on my organizing? Hello? Anyone out there? I think I hear an echo.

Well, I’m going to tell you anyway. My goal has been to do at least one thing each night. See, I usually come home, make dinner, and then watch TV and surf the Internet. It’s pathetic. Neal gets home late a lot, so I lose track of time and all of a sudden it’s 10 p.m. and it’s time to watch Nip/Tuck and go to bed (season premiere tonight! Whoo hoo!).

OK, so last night I took all the ornaments, lights, etc off of the Christmas tree, and then Neal took it out to the curb when he got home (sad!). So tonight, I vacuumed up all the needles, and then went through our magazines/catalogs and threw most of them out. I feel really good about this “a little each night” thing. My mom recommended visiting Fly Lady’s web site, so I’m going to peruse it and see if there are any good tips.

OK, so you know I told you I was going to work on some photos in Photoshop? Well, I have some to show you. I started with…. who else…. ME! Here’s the SOOC (straight-out-of-camera) shot.

And here’s what I came up with:

Do you like? Not a huge difference, but an improvement, I would say.

Here are some more:

And then one of Ferris:

I know the changes are small, but that’s the goal, right? To make little tweaks to just boost the photos? My next plan, to play around with some of my wedding photos. If you’ve been on the edge of your seat to see more pictures from the day that Neal and Megan became the dysfunctional married couple they are today, stay tuned!

And hey, if any of you have organizing tips you’d care to lend me, feel free to comment! Thanks!
