I am still debating about whether or not I should post the photos of Handy Man’s big ‘April Fools in December’ joke on me. Turns out my “uncomfortable surprise” face is not altogether flattering; nor am I very clever at disguising how I really feel. I really need to work on my facial expressions. Really.
Sooooo… Handy Man got me a new toy for Christmas! It’s a sparkly, fast, gorgeous… laptop. For you nerds out there – it runs Mac’s new Leopard (I’m getting light-headed!), it has 2.6GHz Intel Core duo processor, built-in airport Extreme (for anytime, anywhere internet surfing). It is fast, loaded and way cooler than even my desktop (swoon!). My desktop runs Vista, which I actually really like, but man oh man… Macs are just… well… smart. Intuitive. And very, very cool. Thanks, Handy Man. It’s the best Christmas since the year I got the complete Strawberry Shortcake figurine set.
One of my new upgrades with the Mac was switching from Photoshop CS2 to CS3 (thanks for your help, Dr. D!). And Handy Man ordered these nifty little Photoshop actions for me to play with. It’s a brand new machine, a brand new graphics program, and some brand new features… so I’ve had to do a LOT of toying around with the graphics. These actions really work with best with portraits, I think, but as cute as the boybarians are, sometimes when on the learning curve, I need a little more excitement.
What do you think of my…. errr…. Handy work????
So which action do YOU like?
Darcy:
It was great seeing you in the store today! Your boys are *handsome* (or, can I say boys are cute?) Your husband is a gem and your new haircut is adorable. I hope the boys had a great time spending their gift-cards. Good to see you and hope to see you again soon!

Oooh, did you get the 17″? Leopard is very cool! And those Actions are ever cooler — actions figures for photography lovers!!! As for the pictures, I think the last one looks like it could be on the cover of a cd.
Looking forward lots more pictures from you!

Where or when can I get my hands on one of those…I mean, Mac that is. LOL
What a fun new toy! I’m so jealous! I can’t wait to see more photo graphics from you and your new photo program. I really need a new one as well…but I’m too cheap so I’ll just have to play with the one I have. LOL
Hope your Christmas was grand.

You must share the April Fool’s in December pic and story! I mean, you said yourself that we’re BFFs now! I’ve seen you in your pjs without make-up! Don’t be a tease!
LOL… you are one funny lady!
How cool you got a MAC! Handy man does it again eh?? *Ãœ* So glad you had a great Christmas….
Much love, Lisa
Darn that Handy Man is just *too* funny… I can only imagine.
I got a new Mac laptop for Christmas, too! Ooops…. I mean *we* got a new Mac laptop.
Hope this means you’re home safely!

I like all the actions. I’m glad I have a man with a nice action. Congrats on the new toy. I know you’ll put it to good use!
I want to hear what Handyman did! Tell me. Spill it. C’mon.
How great is that! You must have been a very good girl to get just what you asked for … plus some great bonuses.
Melissa
Oh my goodness. Too funny. I almost giggled my morning hot tea out of my nose. Would not have been a pretty sight!!!!!
I like the last photo the best and I totally think you should post Handy Man’s April Fool’s trick. 
Thanks for your sweet friendship and encouragement and I look forward to more fun in ’08! Happy New Year to you, Handy Man and those adorable Boybarians!!!
