Nothin’ Muffin

The Merfett

Not much new in my little world. Just some work, some spin class, and some thoughts about this weekend. 

My family always does Thanksgiving the Sunday before the real deal. I’ll explain this more tomorrow. We’ve done it for as long as I can remember. And it’s awesome. 

I started going to my gym after work this week. I’m trying to make it in the mornings, but it hasn’t happend. So I spend my evenings at the gym. 

Saturday I’m going to be a busy bear. We have a lot to accomplish before our Thanksgiving camping trip. I’m hoping to get to Target tonight to get some errands done, and then I need to get to the grocery store at some point. Not enough hours in the day…or weekend. 

Happy Thursday (pay day in production)!

Hard Light

The Merfett

So I recently vowed that I would improve my Photography and Photoshop skills, if for nothing else, but for this blog. I really enjoy photography, but I want to be better at composition and editing. 

My first new trick is courtesy of this post from The Pioneer Woman. I really love the style of her photos, and the way she edits them. So it’s super awesome that she blogs about her photography and photoshop. Win!

I followed the SUPER easy steps in the above post, and look!

After:

Bam! What!? How awesome does that look! I almost fell off my chair when I saw the result. 

I will forever do this to my photos. 

Love. Love. Can’t wait to learn new things :)

Love Me Tender (Lunch Hour)

The Merfett

Today’s lunch was from Tender Greens:

I always order the Chinese Chicken Salad. I sub the chicken for a seared tuna steak. 

The salad comes with: Golden Pea Sprouts, Carrot, Wontons, Roasted Peanuts, Carrots, Cilantro, Green Onion, and Sesame Dressing. 

It’s super yummy, but there’s one type of greens that they use that I can’t seem to get over. It’s a dark and bitter leaf that tastes like anger. I don’t know why I can’t seem to get into it. So I just pick it out. No harm. 

I really like Tender Greens, since I love any pro-salad restaurant. I need to start trying some new items, maybe next time :)
