Tuesday Tidbits

I'll preface this post by saying I'm still sick and feel like mold. What does mold feel like you ask? Icky..like I feel right now.

I tried to make myself feel better today by finally making a Green Monster, as seen on Megan's blog. The commissary is carrying spinach again and the is the first time I've been able to make it. Can I just say it's delish? I'll be making it a regular part of my day from now on.

Right now it feels like EVERYTHING is under construction here in Italy. Every single possible route to our house/post has some sort of construction on it. I probably spent an hour yesterday dropping Sean off at home and then attempting to get back to work. I don't know where all this construction came from! One day it's construction free and the next day it's everywhere. Maybe October is construction month here in Italy, I honestly don't know.

Lastly, I want an opinion on Photoshopped pictures from you girls. I'm a firm believer in Photoshop, whether it's just improving the contrast or boosting the saturation of the colors. Yes, at times I believe pictures can be too Photoshopped, but I try not to tweak mine to the extreme. I ask this question because I participate in a weekly photo contest on a forum for army wives and they've recently started a debate on if we can enter photoshopped pictures. Most of them are trying to say that Photoshopped pictures are not the "true" photograph, but I find that insulting to be honest. I feel like all my pictures I take are the true photograph, but simply made to be the best they can be. What are your thoughts? And feel free to disagree with me.

Fun With Photoshop

For a lack of a better post today, I'm going to show some before and after photos on Photoshop. The changes aren't drastic, but I think it's very important to have at least Photoshop Elements to give your photos that little extra boost.
