Can someone clear something up for me.

So I judged a science fair for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders today. And let me tell you it was a riot. For the most part I was really impressed by how much the kids new. Although now that it's over I'm still wondering about what one kid told me. Is cloning illegal??? Have we clones a human??? Do they know enough about cloning humans to know that it causes lung cancer, heart disease, and lot's of other problems with our body and that is why it's illegal. Now I don't watch the news much and I'm not really into anything biological so maybe I missed the cloning thing but last I heard we'd only clones sheep. Another boy told me he wanted to make solar powered muscle cars. That sounded a bit like an oxymoron to me but more power to ya kid. I was completely blown away by some of the kids. One boy tested to see if there was bacteria living in freshly fallen and day old white snow. He found that yes there was and a lot of it. I asked him in the end if he'd still eat snow and he told me yes just not a big bowl of it. I think I was cured of ever eating snow, white or yellow. All in all I thought the kids all did fantastic jobs... accept for the boy who wouldn't tell me about his project, he just sat in the corner and read... I felt a bit bad for him.

Since being enlightened at the science fair I shut down my human cloning machine since now I know it's illegal, stopping internet shopping for solar powered muscle cars because the boy who is going to invent them is still in 6th grade, and decided to not eat the fresh snow outside for lunch. Instead I took part in my new found hobby. Digital scrap booking. I'm really proud of this page because I branched out into embellishments and discovered what .rar files are and how to use them.
This time I found everything from http://digiscrapdepot.com/freebies/. But of course the photo shop actions were still courtesy of thepioneerwoman.com.

And don't worry. These scrapbook pages won't go on much longer. I'm beginning to run out of page ideas and decent pictures on my hardrive.

You'd think I have nothing else I need to do.

Well I wasted yet another few hours creating a scrapbook page on photoshop. I enjoy doing this immensely. Maybe that is why I feel so guilty doing it when I have homework and housework to do.
This time I got the paper and embellishments from shabby princess. Someday I'll print all these out and put them in a scrapbook but in the mean time they only really get shared here.

Finally another weekend..

It's finally Friday. After a lot of homework and a mass transfer test I made it to another weekend.

So I don't know how many of you check my blog regularly but if you have within the last 30 hrs or so you may have read the tag I completed 25 things about me. If so ignore it completely. See I always go through a really depressed phase right before a test and I posted that during my low point. If you never read it you missed some facts about me but also me being hard on myself.

On to lighter but still depressing topics. Since it's friday night i took the time to play around with photo shop come. I downloaded a template and was making basically a scrapbook page of our trip into yellowstone park during our honeymoon. I spent a good hour or so on it. Selecting, editing, and cropping pictures. I was putting my last picture in when photoshop crashed. Of course I never saved it nor did I say the editted pictures I put into it. I'm a bit sad because I actually liked how it was turning out. I think I even would have posted it here to show it to all the world. But it's gone now and I'm not sure I'll redo it..

UPDATE: Well I didn't redo the yellowstone page but I did do this one. I'm not completely happy with it. Some of the photos were low quality and I don't like the drastic differences in colors/tones from photo to photo. I also had a heck of a time coming up with a background color. I wanted girly and feminine but couldn't get one that looked good with all the pictures. I defiantly wouldn't call myself a scrapper of a photoshop aficionado but I enjoyed making it so take it for what it's worth.
I got the template, paper, and embelishments from here. And actions used on the pictures from here.

I need another weekend.

You know those weekends that are so busy that you need another weekend just to recover. This weekend was almost that bad. I've had busier weekends but this one was up there.

It started out Friday when I got home from school and went into a mad rush to finish our pinewood derbies. We are the webelos leaders and Brett has been looking forward to pinewood derby since we were called last May. So brett spend all day the previous Saturday in my mom's shop cutting out his dodge charger police car and my porsche carrera barbie car. Then friday we painted them and added the weight. Our weight is shot and slugs from shot gun shells which I think is funny.
This is Brett's car which was part of the free race after the official race.
This one is mine which was in the official race and didn't do quite as well... but it's hott! And of course it is the only one with pink in it.

So friday night we impounded the cars at the church and then went to a friend from my major's apartment for dinner and to play games. I now remember why I made the vow in high school to never play mariocart in front of other people, or at least people who don't already know me really really well and love me lots, and have renewed that vow. Actually that applies to all car racing games. I enjoy racing games but I'm pretty bad at them and get really loud and crazy while play them. Surprising huh? me? loud? never!.

So Saturday morning was he race day. It was pretty fun. I enjoyed seeing how into it the dad's were.
Here is Brett (isn't he cute in his uniform) helping one of our webelo's graphite his wheels.
This is the mad house that ensued after the last call to make any adjustments to cars following the parade of cars.

Following the race we headed up to Idaho. We spent that evening at my parents house. I filled out a pile of paperwork to accept a job in Idaho Falls for the summer. Yes, in case you haven't heard we're coming/going home for the summer and we're very excited about it.

Saturday evening I also realized I'm shamefully not much of a hardy Idaho girl anymore. Down in salt lake it's in the high 30's and not too much snow left. So I wore sandals home. Well news flash.. it's still winter in Idaho and I'm a wanny when it comes to cold now.

Sunday we got to sleep in YES!. A niece (on Brett's side) was being blessed and thankfully their church wasn't till 1:00 PM! Yahoo. The blessing was great and afterward was a huge gathering of people. So the baby was Brett's brother's child and the baby's mom had a brother who also had a baby being blessed (did you follow??) so there was three families there! But luckily there was enough food for all and just about enough room.

Following the party we drove home where I immediately went to work finishing homework. So tomorrow is Saturday again right???

Loook what I did today!

Yes I know look has three 'o's in it but isn't suppose to. And I meant to leave it that way.
So i came home with every intention to finish up my homework today. I decided a quick break to check blogs. My regular blogs includes pioneer woman. Pioneer woman has some mad photoshop skils and happens to sometimes share her secrets. And now about 2 hours later (long enough to complete atleast 1 whole mass transfer problem). Here's what I've accomplished.
About the only productive outcome was a love for photoshop and an extreme hatred for my mouse (computer mouse that is!). I've now resolved to go out and buy a new one.

Long Day!

I came up to campus at 8:30 am today and worked on homework all day. I only got like 4 problems done and they all took forever! I'm really tired and hungry.
