boy or girl.. what do you think it will be? only two weeks away! poll closes two hours before we go in for our ultrasound!

vote!

did you know that david has more clothes than me? maybe it's the fact he's been the same size since i have known him and takes really good care of what he has.. but i can't help but resent him sometimes when i am doing laundry lol.. just kidding.. i don't actually resent him.. but the boy does have a lot of laundry.. even though he reuses his clothes a few times before tossing them in the laundry (it took years to train him to reuse his clothes that weren't "dirty"). it's funny really.. he will often say, "i need to go through my closet and get rid of clothes i don't wear anymore.".. i am supportive of him wanting to get rid of stuff.. it isn't good to hoard stuff you no longer need or want.. i will follow him into the closet with an empty bag and he will sit there for a good 5mins or so and pull one shirt out, stuffs it in the empty bag and looks at me and says, "i think that's it". :::blank stare::: i will admit he has a ton of nice stuff.. stuff that is still in style.. stuff that still fits.. so why would he need to throw out something? maybe it's because he doesn't realize how much nice stuff he has and once he realizes it he doesn't want to let it go lol.. ::shrugs::

he probably doesn't want me talking about this either.. but i will anyway.. muahahahahaha.. he has a really weird (yet quirky) thing about underwear.. dude i am telling you.. he has enough to last him TWO MONTHS!! TWO MONTHS.. and he alwayssss wants more.. his favorite is gap.. in fact.. if i were to go into his drawer now and pull out all the gap underwear it would be 95% gap.. i can hardly shut the damn drawer nowadays he has so many pairs of underwear.. he came up to me yesterday in a pair of boxers that he has had a while and said, "i think its time i retire these.". i take one look and notice the elastic is completely shot on them and they are hardly staying up.. "um yeah" i replied.. david looked at me with that sweet, yet sad face, and walked away pulling them up.. (btw, i am doing laundry right now.. which is why i am talking about clothes..) i bet you a million bucks instead of throwing away those boxers, he stuck them in the hamper this morning to be washed (he knew i planned on doing laundry today). if i find them when i am folding clothes they are going byebye.. :o) update: yup.. i washed them.. they are now in the trash.. lol..

i won't say anything about our "updated" laundry room.. even though i am itching to rant about it.. i will say i am only able to use ONE washer out of five right now (and not because people are using them).. i will just leave it at that.

also, i re-did my favorite links section on my blog.. i have been meaning to update it for months now... if you are ever bored or wanting something new to look at.. make sure you check out the links.. :o)

more editing practice..

top: sooc; bottom: edited

one month exactly until i leave for germany! w00t! can't wait.. i am starving over here.. and pretty much everything i have been craving is european related.. figures!

i had my very first dream that i was having a girl last night.. i have had many dreams of me having a boy.. in the dream, i was getting our big ultrasound done and the tech looked at me and said, "it's a girl.. i am sure of it by 90%". i remember looking at david and david looking back at me in complete shock! lol. it could happen.. at this point it's 50-50.. david and i are still positive we are having a boy.. now, if my ultrasound tech turns to me and says "it's a girl.. 90% sure", that would be creepy! i have had deja-vu type dreams before as most people have.. i am just archiving it here just in case.. don't want david to think his wife has gone completely nuts.

guess what.. it's much cooler today.. that's right.. i can't bitch about it! i am sure my two blogger readers will be delighted and relieved not to see another post about me bitching about the damn weather! and guess what part two!? all my bitching must have worked.. the tropical storm headed RIGHT towards us.. at the very last minute it changed paths.. i don't know if we got any rain from it.. i know southeast dallas got some.. it was late in the evening, or early in the morning, whichever you prefer, when it finally made it up here.. either way.. today is so much cooler.. and i am ever so thankful.. in fact, the weather is so perfect, i might just go to the botanical gardens or even the zoo.. omg there is so much to do and here i am typing in my blog that no one ,but my bestfriend tanna, reads lmao.. adios amigos!

i finally have a new belly picture.

18 week belly

this pregnancy seems to be TAKING forever. haha. the belly is getting bigger, though it isn't huge yet.. i now know why my clothes still fit.. for one it seems my belly is starting to grow from the middle.. and my hips/butt are staying the same size (thank goodness). i can't believe in two weeks we will probably know the sex of the baby! eek!

i also got my editing action set friday.. i have been playing here and there with it.. editing pictures takes up a lot of your time when you have no idea what you are doing. but i know with practice i will get better/faster with it. even then.. i am really loving the sesame ellis action sets.. REALLY loving it.. i know once i figure out how to do it correctly i will be even more in love with it.. it was worth the money and is going to come in handy when i have kids..

here is my 18week belly edit i did this morning with my action set.. SOOC stands for straight out of camera.. in other words it hasn't been edited yet.. the other two have obviously been edited using some of the sesame ellis action sets..

i also ordered first prints from our digital camera.. david and i have never had anything printed before.. we have owned a digital camera since 2003.. i mean it when i say not once did we ever go to walmart or any other place to have any of our digital pictures printed.. i mainly use my images for the internet etc.. no need to really print anything out.. but now that we are pregnant (yipee) and we now own a DSLR, it seems unnatural for me to not ever get anything printed.. so i found a professional photography printing studio.. no offense to those who use walgreens, walmart, cvs etc. to develop your pictures.. those places are great for point and shoot style cameras.. but not for DSLRs.. i found a picture that i took of velveeta last spring.. edited it using my sesame ellis action set and then ordered several sizes ranging from normal album size to 8x13.. pretty large.. i know.. but i wanted to see how clear the image would come out.. i could have gone larger.. and i probably will when our baby gets here.. but they are more expensive the bigger they get and since i am only testing it right now there was no need to spend too much money on one picture! i ordered from www.mpix.com. it's going to take a few days for my prints to get here and i am anxious to know how the images turned out on paper.. btw.. here is the picture i picked for my test.. it's not the BEST picture i have ever taken of velveeta.. i was in a hurry to find one that was SOOC (straight out of camera.. no editing done to it).

left: SOOC; right:edited with one of the sesame ellis action set

i guess i should also include my 11week, 14week, and 18week belly side by side eh? see the progress butterball has made..

11week ::: 14 week ::: 18week

hahaha.. looking at my progress now doesn't seem any different than how i looked when i was 11weeks pregnant.. wtf?! i bet in a month i will pop.. i will enjoy being "small" for now..

i haven't had any type of naps this last week.. i didn't think i would be able to stay awake but i found i could.. lol.

we had a pretty eventful weekend.. nothing to write home about.. but eventful.. hotter than hell of course.. my best friend lives in wichita falls.. about 2hours away and their high yesterday was 109f! they (weather forecasters) are claiming this year as one of the hottest driest summers. no really?! ::rolls eyes:: weather forecasters are starting to bug me! they always try to make themselves sound smart or that, "chance of rain this week? i think you might be surprised.. stay tuned" crap is worth waiting for.... i sit there anxiously through the crappy commercials only to find out it's like less than a 10% chance.. ugh.

apparently, there is another tropical storm headed towards the texas coast (houston/galveston).. people are freaking out already.. too bad none of that nice cold rain will be headed our way.. the stupid "high system", that has been hovering over the state of texas this whole entire summer, can kiss my ass! oh but wait.. last night the stupid forecaster said, "we will see a slight weakening in the high system".. oh.. a slight weakening huh? that means not 107f but 99f.. i want the damn thing to move over some other part of the united states. ironically the tropical storm is what weakens the high system.. hot is hot to me.. maybe if i pray hard enough God will let the tropical/hurricane storm path change towards the DFW area.. instead of west texas.. ?! lol. ah.. oh well..

it was 100f at 10pm last night.. NIGHT!!! b.l.a.h.

our baby lovesssss to move around and kick! yesterday throughout the day i could feel his kicks.. they are still reallllllly light. and feel like light thumps/taps. but i can defiantly feel them.. i have been going to bed super early the last few days.. i am trying to find the best sleeping routine for me.. going to bed late.. and waking up late didn't seem to work too well for me.. i also ended up taking naps during the day and it was screwing up everything.. so.. i head to bed and usually asleep by 10:30pm.. wake up around 6:30am.. i force myself to stay awake during the day now.. no NAPS.. i realized i was so tired in the day because i wasn't doing anything active.. i have been getting out in the heat the last few days to test if i was actually sleepy and needed the rest etc.. to my surprise i never felt tired enough to need a nap..

anyhoo. i woke up around 5:30am.. david turned off the A/C last night because we got our bill for the month of july yesterday ($145) lol! yeah, it's a lot but our avg daily temp was 99f.. so what am i supposed to do? huh? i was sweating like a pig and dying of thirst.. so i got up.. well, first i jabbed david.. cuz you know.. he deserved it! don't worry he didn't even flinch.. bastard :oP lol. then i got up to turn the A/C back on, grabbed a few cups of water and headed back to bed.. where i have been unsuccessful getting back to sleep.. buttttt.. my baby was kicking away.. thump tap thump.. i just love it!

we receive regular chiropractic care.. we go in for adjustments and therapy.. during therapy they lay you down on this bed looking thing that has rollers in them.. they go up and down your spine.. from neck to tail bone.. it's really relaxing.. apparently, it strengthens and sends blood to your spine.. well, every time it rolled over my tail bone my baby was forced up into my pelvic area.. i guess sort of squishing the little guy.. he did NOT like it (or maybe he did.. but i am assuming he didn't) lol.. i could feel him ROLLING not kicking.. but ROLLING!!! trying to get comfortable.. it was a super strange sensation.. after the rollers were done with the tail bone area i could feel a few thumps (i am guessing kicks) and he stopped... of course, until the rollers came back to the tail bone area.. it started all over again.. david and i were laughing.. david said "the baby's probably like.. what the hell is going on out there?".

not my picture.. stock picture from the net.. this is what the roller therapy beds look like.. rollers are underneath the the top layer..

i finally have photoshop CS2 on my laptop.. i don't know what took me so long.. yes.. CS2.. i am too cheap to get CS3.. even though i badly want it.. there are some action sets i want to use and you have to have photoshop.. i can't wait to get it.. the lady who developed them just had twins so i am patiently waiting for her to send (email) me my actions.. she is also one of my favorite flickr photographers. sesame ellis

i will let you know how they work when i get it.. hopefully i will be able to figure out how i am supposed to download them into photoshop.. i have never used actions so i am pretty clueless in that department.. i do think it's going to make editing my pictures even easier once i get it all figured out! i noticed in her seaseme ellis action set flickr group that she said the first 150people to buy her action set will receive her next set for free when she gets it completed.. (a $50 value).. i was going to wait to order the sets.. when you know.. i have money to blow on things i don't really NEED but want.. but i didn't want to miss out on that deal (the orig set is $75).. it will suck if i was over 150.. oh well.. i will find out soon enough.. now to think of it.. it would suck even more if i am unable to figure out how to download it into photoshop LMAO.. since it isn't refundable.. ha.

either way.. i am sure it will work out.. she has newborn twins.. an adorable little daughter and one of the best photographers i have ever seen.. i am happy and proud to support to her! (aka.. give her money).. she deserves every penny!

well, it's finally been proven! Mars has water on it! the Phoenix scooped up some ice, melted it, and analyzed it..

read more here...

other news.. i am 100% confident i felt the baby kick today!!! i could feel it happening inside and decided to see if i could feel it on the outside.. and there it was.. a really small and light thump....... thump.... thump... i realized i was sitting really still and not breathing when it was going on. it was such an awesome experience!

dear God.. thank you thank you thank you thank you for the most beautiful morning EVER!!! i so badly needed this type of morning.. thank you so much!

i am still sitting out here on my patio almost three hours later.. it has been raining for 2hours.. 2hoursss! it's gotten a bit humid but it's still MUCH cooler than it has been in the mornings.. i said earlier i would indulge this morning as much as i could and i am.. i have things to do today and i was wanting to be ready and get out around 8am. lol but who knew this morning would be so beautiful. so i have postponed it for now.. i just can't believe how awesome this morning is!

i have been researching baby stuff all morning.. whew.. this stuff is hard.. right now david and i are trying to figure out what kind of car seat we want.. first we decided screw an infant car seat we will just get a convertible car seat.. it can be used from infant to toddler.. saves you money in the long run since you can completely skip the infant car seat..

the kind we want.. a german brand called recaro, is something we plan on getting eventually..

recaro como in sand

but after some research we realized we have no idea how big our baby will be once born.. and not all convertible seats.. even though they say infant 5lbs and up.. will fit our baby correctly/safely until the baby gets bigger a bit.. so.. blah.. i really wanted to avoid getting two car seats within a year but oh well.. the safety of the baby is more important than money..

we originally loved the peg perego viaggio. it's a beautiful car seat..

peg perego primo viaggio in ice

the reviews are okay.. which was surprising considering how expensive the car seat is.. but most of the reviews complained on how heavy the sucker was.. they weren't kidding.. we noticed it too when we went to browse at the seats at babies r us a month ago.. the reviewers also complained that the side impact foam wings were apparently cumbersome once the baby was older.. i used to love it.. now i don't after reading some of the reviews.

then everyone and their dog, was telling us get the graco snugride..

graco snugride in platinum

what is nice about the snugride is that it's cheaper than any other seat we have liked.. and it fits our bugaboo stroller even though i do NOT plan on using a car seat to push my baby around.. i love the bassinet way more.. they have a good safety record.. people have complained about how hot it was for a baby though.. it's hotter than hell here as it is.. but i expect that most car seats are hot.. the things are made out of plastic after all.. and the time the baby would mostly be using it is from winter till summer.. so i don't think i will have to worry too much about how hot it will be.. most of the reviews complained how the sunshade isn't very big and cumbersome to deal with.. and quite a few have complained that babies are getting rashes from the fire retardants on the seat.. i don't know.. i just don't like it as much as everyone else i guess.. my gut instinct says "NO".

currently, i am looking at the chicco keyfit30.. i really like this car seat so far..

chicco keyfit30 in racer

they don't really have a lot of fabric choices to chose from.. but it doesn't matter.. i really think this might be the infant car seat we end up getting... the reviews are pretty good.. safety is one of the best.. and the hood is generous.. plus the car seat goes to 30pounds.. which is much more than most infant car seats..

who knew picking out a car seat was so much work? i feel exhausted just researching them on the internet.. figuring out baby gear is a tough chore anyway! thankfully we have a lot of it already picked out.. we just need to start getting money together and start collecting the needed baby gear already.. a baby is viable at 24weeks.. you know what that means? it means if the baby were to be born that early, it has a 40% chance of surviving and the rate only gets higher the further along you are... i would like to be prepared JUST in case any thing like that (God forbid) happens to us. even though the baby wouldn't be coming home with us for months if that were to happen.. either way.. i would feel so much better if i had the stuff then and didn't need to worry about it PLUS the survival of a preemie..

i think i might head over to babies r us today and check out the seat among others.. i have seen it in person before.. but we never really went in just to check out the car seats.. david is much stronger than me.. how heavy the car seat probably won't effect him much.. but for me, a weakling, will need to make sure it isn't too heavy.. blah..

get ready to see a lot of baby gear posts lol.. now that we have the big ultrasound set, david has been really set on getting things together..

what a beautiful morning!!! i am on our patio right now.. there is a really cool breeze.. i hear thunder rumbling in the distance to my west and to my east a beautiful and very colorful sunrise is making it's presence.. i checked the radar.. it looks like we might get lucky and get a few rain drops this morning.. i fully intend to soak in the moment while it lasts.. the clouds are soooo beautiful to the west.. they are being highlight by the sunrise.. and range from pink, purple, and light blue. if it weren't' for the thunder in the distance and the rather cool breeze, i would assume it was just another normal hot ass summer day here in the lovely state of texas.. :o(

pumpkin.. who spends 90% of time outside on our patio everyday.. even in the heat is out here with me.. loving up all over me.. the birds are waking up.. david should be up in a few mins.. i really hope this rain makes it over to me.. even if it's just for a few minutes.. i love rain!

hot weather = makes anne marie VERY sleepy!

i fell asleep at 7pm last night.. woke up briefly to eat dinner (david grills every sunday). then back to bed i went. i woke up at 4:30am.. i feel amazingly refreshed today.. maybe because i didn't wake up a million times to pee? i feel like i got some really good quality sleep.. the kind i got during my first trimester... my bladder ached something awful though LOL.. in fact i probably would have slept longer had it not been the bladder.. but at least it took that long for me to have to get up.. getting up 4-5 times a night really cuts into your sleep!

anywho.

any guess how hot it was yesterday?

105f.....................

i am NOT JOKING!

weather forecaster said "dallas had the highest temperature in the whole nation"............ o__O

i reallly do not like this damn DRY heat.. and i will bitch about it.. every single day until it is gone..

despite the 105f weather.. i did spend most of my time out in the heat yesterday.. i couldn't take being cooped up in this apartment ONE MORE DAY! one thing i have noticed.. i itch when i am hot.. it never happened before i was pregnant.. i really hope this is not a future sign of PUPPS.. i get super itchy allllll over my body when i am in the heat.. as soon as i am back in air conditioning, the itching stops. i just hope it's the heat and not a future indication of PUPPS.


this past week i have felt a lot of unusual senses down in my womb area.. i am still not convinced it's a baby, but the fact it started out as small gas bubbles in one spot minutes at a time.. to weird moving sensations (does NOT feel like gas.. it feels like something or someone actually moving around in there), is starting to convince me more that it is the baby.. it happens usually EARLY in the morning.. 6am - 8am.. i once read that a fetuses activity is usually a sign of what the baby becomes once he/she is born.. so.. if that is true.. david and i are going to have a "morning person" kid.. i sort of hope my child is a morning person.. i am a night owl.. and my mother had the hardest time getting me up for school as a kid.. lol..

sooo, through out the day yesterday, i had this moving sensation.. not the gas bubble feeling.. they were in different spots through out the day.. but still in the womb area.. david is convinced it is the baby.. but as i said.. i am not so sure JUST YET..

oh yea.. i stepped on the scale saturday afternoon.. I LOST MORE WEIGHT.. i now weigh 147lbs.. that was after a meal too! WTF.. i need to start gaining.. this is getting ridiculous.. i wanted to be able to gain at least 4lbs by my next appointment.. if not more.. even with no weight gain my belly is defiantly growing.. i am starting to notice it while naked looking from the front.. now you can see a small ball forming from the front.. so my baby is growing.. even then i am still worried that i am not giving butterball enough nutrients and the fact my doctor was slightly concerned about my lack of weight gain (i didn't have morning sickness).. it's starting to bother me.. and i know it's bothering david.. (he was there this last appointment when the doctor lectured me about eating enough.. ) he kept wanting me to eat eat eat yesterday, even though i was stuffed.. i really didn't have much to eat yesterday.. i had breakfast.. pancakes.. and some of david's hash browns.. grilled chicken, corn on the cob and some red potatoes for dinner (with lots of butter).. i didn't have lunch because i was STUFFED from breakfast (or maybe i was stuffed because i had a lot of water to stay hydrated.. ? i roughly had 88ounces of water.. and even that was NOT enough water apparently.. AKA pee-not clear.. that also doesn't include the three LARGE glasses of milk i try to drink everyday.. or the two glasses of orange juice at dinner.. plus two small bottles of carbonated mineral water LMAO.. you know what? i hadn't realized how much fluid i had yesterday until just now.. no wonder i wasn't hungry lol) it also takes my stomach forever to digest certain foods (mostly high fatty carb stuff..). besides.. i was WAY more thirsty than hungry and i am sure the heat had something to do with it.. i snacked at the free samples at central market.. but it wasn't much.. and more liquid than food samples.. it was a "coastal theme".. lots of fish.. i don't eat fish.. next weekend they are going to "break open the freezers" for a huge ice cream sample event.. we are NOT missing out on that one lol..

i am starving right now.. ::as a munch on a rather large and not as good as it looks, cranberry/blueberry muffin with a large glass of whole milk::

haha.. i bought some guacamole yesterday.. i actually woke up wanting it but decided i should probably eat something more like breakfast.. i am still wanting the guacamole over the muffin..

and now that i am done eating it.. i still want the guacamole..

i also got some red currants.. OMG i love red currants.. they are only available in the summer here... and expensive as hell.. but with some sugar and cream OMG I WILL BE IN HEAVEN later today.. my family in germany grows red currants in their garden.. i used to hate them as a kid but now as an adult i lovvveeee the tartness mixed with the sweet sugar and cream.. ::mouth waters:: i might take pictures of them later.. i want to remember it all year lol..

yay another post.. i was sitting here getting ready to get up to get my day started.. and i noticed out of the corner of my eye that there was some kind of big bug flying outside on the patio.. my door is cracked to let the cats in and out so i don't have to get up every ten mins etc.. i was worried it might fly in.. so i look up to make sure it wasn't some kind of large wasp etc.. and it was a HUMMING BIRD! a realllly tiny one.. omg it was so precious.. it was attracted to our tomato plant.. then it checked out our dead flowers.. we have a humming bird feeder but its a pain in the butt.. you have to change out the sugar water every two days.. i should put it back.. seeing those little birds really brightens my day!

haven't updated in awhile.. everything is going well over here.. still hotter than hell.. i know i bitch about it all the time.. but seriously.. it's like living in a oven and being trapped in your darn apartment the entire time doing nothing.. it's impossible to do anything in this heat.. it sort of depresses me.. i am getting tired of doing the same damn thing everyday.. i can't go to the zoo.. or the park.. nothing.. i heard on the morning news this morning that we are expected to reach 104f by next monday.. are you farking kidding me? we are in a serious drought right now.. i am starting to hate living here.. i feel so caged in.. nothing to do.. bored.. going out of my mind.. lol. i can't stand it anymore.. when will summer BE OVER!?!?!?!?!?!?!? this summer feels like it's just crawling by.. and thanks to gas prices everything.. and i mean everything is more expensive these days.. we usually have to sit at home because i have to have the a/c running non stop.. last night in fact.. i woke up maybe four times COVERED in sweat.. i kept having to get up to turn the a/c down lower and lower.. all the way to 70f.. this month is going to cost us big time in electricity! ::sigh:: perfect.. i hate this year's summer! i reallllly do.. and i won't stop bitching about it until it's freaking OVER for good!

on the upside.. and i am probably jinxing it because every time i think "whew.. my body has finally adjusted", i am reminded that "nope.. not yet.. ". i have been able to climb stairs without being winded the last few days.. in fact david and i did a load of laundry last night and i practically ran up the stairs and could still catch my breath without feeling light headed etc.. hopefully it will be that way for a while.. i know i will start feeling out of breath more as the baby gets bigger.. but i could use a break in that department.. my allergies are still bugging me.. it's probably this nasty air pollution. i have started having nosebleeds.. normal for the pregnants.. it's just gross.. i really don't like having them.. we have the humidifier running 24/7 in the bedroom to help.. but i think we might need a bigger and better one in the living room.. i need it more for the winter.. oh the winter.. it sounds so nice and cold!!!!

i was watching friends last night because i was too lazy to find the remote to change it.. (i am not a friends fan). anyway, it was a thanksgiving episode.. all i could think about was turkey.. stuffing.. cranberry sauce.. sweet potatoes for the entire evening.. i also got all giddy inside.. i can't wait for the holiday season to get here! i am also craving salad dressing.. lol.. i am watching "i love lucy" (as i always am.. )and it's the "million dollar idea" episode.. where lucy and ethel decide to start a business making homemade dressing.. they are able to advertise on tv.. and lucy pretends to be a normal housewife from the audience.. she starts eating the salad.. and of course.. exaggerates how tasty it looks.. of COURSE i am now starving for salad dressing.. just salad dressing.. dip a spoon in the dressing and lick it.. gross huh?! LMAO. especially american dressing.. gagggg! im hungry now.. we don't have any american dressing in the house.. which is a good thing i suppose because the fact that even sounds delicious to me frightens me.. lol..

i bawled watching to video.. it's a happy video and absolutely amazing! you have to watch it..

polarize me! lol. david was sweet enough to let me purchase a polarizing filter for my camera saturday night.. i also purchased a neutral density filter but haven't tried it out yet.. usually, you should invest in a top quality filters, but since it was for our cheap kit lens, i figured there was no real reason to invest in a top notch filter right now.. (someday) my new (and much better) lens will be a different size (i probably will never use the kit lens ever again once i get a new lens).. but after seeing the results from a cheap filter.. i sort of wish we had spent the extra $$ on a better quality filter.. but as david says.. "it's better than what you had before", and that's the truth!..

it was WAY too hot for me to go to the botanical gardens and play with my new filters.. 102F today.. again.. :::gaaaahhh::: (i really hate this texas heat.... hate. hate. hate). i tested it out on our balcony this afternoon before we left to see "the dark knight". (which was okay.. nothing special.. heath ledger's 'joker' was wicked awesome though.. the story was B average at best.. and i felt it was way too long for a movie.. either way, david and i both enjoyed it.. and it's a shame no one can replace heath, joker was the best)

back to the polarizer.. i took the first picture with the "correct" exposure without my polarizer filter on. then took the second picture, set at the "correct" exposure, with the polarizer.. you can see a HUGE difference! i am not happy with this example.. it isn't very attractive lol.. however, i couldn't wait to try it out.. these are unedited photo's.

check out this idiotdork who parked at the movie theaters today.. we arrived there around 1pm.. noticed his mad parking skillz.. made fun of him for a quick moment and walked on.. the car was STILL there when we left after the movie around 6pm.. david and i could not stop laughing at this idiot. i took a picture for keeps!
