Christmas of 2007 is already here! It seems like Christmas ‘06 was just here, and 2007 just started, but it’s already Christmas, and 2007 is almost over! We had our family party last night. The next party will be New Years. We will probably only do something small, though. I was really happy with the party last night.
I really don’t have too much to say, but I thought I’d just post this, saying Merry Christmas!! to everyone!

There has been lots of snow falling here in Ottawa. I’m really happy for all the snow! There is a lot more snow in the forecast. I am happy that so much snow is falling, because this year we might even have a white Christmas. We have not had a lot of snow on Christmas in a few years, and I’m really happy that there will be a good amount of snow on the ground this year.
I can’t wait for the Holidays! Just 8 more days for me, and then it is the Christmas Holidays. We are having Christmas in Chelsea, QC, at my aunt and uncle’s house this year. We had New Years ‘07 there, but we have not had Christmas there in a while.
I can’t believe that this year is already coming to an end!
That’s it for now!! I hope to post again soon! Check for new fall photos that I will be posting on my Photo Site.

Life, Random, School.
Today just flew by! We did not do any work at all today. It was just an intro to the classes and the teachers talked a bit about themselves, and what we would be doing in each class through out the year. I am really looking forward to this year. The classes will be a lot easier this year, because they have been shortened a lot compared to last year’s class times. This will also make the day go b quicker.
I have just about all of the supplies I need, but I need to bring in a few things here and there. Starting tomorrow, we are going to start having the first assemblies for the year. They are to introduce all new students to the school, and talk about things the school does, and what they expect and other stuff. I’m not sure when we will really start getting into the work, right now the teachers are just handing out a whole lot of forms, newsletters, and other assorted papers and guidelines.
Everything seems good so far, and it was a very good first day.

Big Events, Life, Mac, School.
We finally got all of our back to school shopping all done yesterday. Everything is done and ready for back to school. I packed up and I’m ready for tomorrow morning.
I Packed:
That’s about all I packed for now. When I go to school, they should tell me within the first few weeks if you are missing something, or need something extra.
I also have my New 2.16 GHz MacBook, which will make schoolwork and homework a LOT easier. My PC is good, but it is a few years old, and it is getting quite slow. I’m glad I have my Mac. I have not installed all of the software I want on my Mac Yet, but I do have Office for Mac, which is a Must Have for school.
Along with my Mac I got a new HP Photosmart Printer + Copier + Scanner, which will be good for school to, for printing out presentations and posters. I have an HP Lazer Jet that I got in February, Which is great for printing out Text and reports, but not pictures, and it’s just a black and white printer.
For now, I seem all set for tomorrow!

Design, Life, Mac.
I have had my Shiny new MacBook for two days now, and I love it. I had orginally said it was the base model, but I actually have an upgraded model now, and I’m glad I do. It’s the 2.16 GHz in White. I really like the computer, and it has a very attractive design.
I am still getting used to the Mac, and I’m still installing software on it. Unfortunately, I can’t install some of the web design software I use becuase it is not compatible with Macs, and it is too old. Sometime, I’m going to get a Mac Version of the Adobe Dreamweaver software, along with Photoshop for mac and some other software.
For now, I will use my PC to do design work. My Mac will be used for design work when I get the right software for it. I do have a lot more to install, I currently have Office 2004 Student Edition installed on my Mac.
My Mac will be perfect for ALL School Work, Homework and presentations. It’s soooo much faster compared to my PC, which I really like.
I am so happy I got the Mac. I still have some learning to do, but It’s excellent so far!
I want to post some reviews on the Mac within the next few weeks. It’s back to school on Tuesday, and I will probably be quite busy. I will actually be looking forward to homework and presentations, because I’ll do it on my New Mac. I also got a new HP colour printer to go with my new system. I have a newer HP lazer printer aswell. I am all ready for back to school!
That’s about all for tonight!
Tomorrow, we are going to continue with the Back to school Shopping, so I will have EVERYTHING for Tuesday.
I am using my Mac to write this, too, I like the Safari Browser a lot too.
One thing that I already found with the Mac is that it does get really hot. I found that SMC Fan Control made a huge difference. The temperature dropped a lot after I increased the fan speed from 1,800 rpms to 6,200 rpms. I only put it to the max speed if it gets really hot though, just to save battery power, if I don’t have it plugged in.
That’s about all for tonight!

Life, Mac.
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m getting a MacBook. It’s coming sometime (probably closer to the end of the week) Next week! I can hardly wait! I’ve been wanting a MacBook for so long now, and its getting closer and closer!
The Mac I chose was a more basic model, but from what I’ve heard about them, every mac is really good. I’m Getting the MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz in White. I saw a model at the store, and it look really nice. I love everything about the MacBook.
I have used a mac before, and I like it a lot more than windows. I have a desktop PC, and I wanted a laptop. I like the Mac’s system, so I decided to go with the MacBook. I looked at soooo many different laptops for months now, and I think the MacBook is the right one for me.
I have heard a lot of positive comments from Mac and MacBook users. I like the way Macs run, and I really love the way the MacBook looks, too.
I also mentioned in my last post that I was going to get an iPod. I did. I bought a brand new Silver 2GB iPod nano. I’m not going to start using it until I get my Mac.
I am so looking forward to the End of the Week next week!!

Boring Posts, Life, Weather.
There is not too much going on right now. I have not found anything really to talk about lately, that’s why I have not been posting too much. We have not really done much, and I don’t think too much will be happening, really until the end of the month, because some relatives are coming, and will be staying through August.
I know we will be doing a little bit more then. Right now, I’m not doing too much, I am still working on some client’s sites, and graphics that they have ordered. I will be starting a new client very soon, too. I am working on their web sites, logos and business card designs.
I hope to have at least my first client done by the first or second week of August. Here is their site so far: Click Here. Also have a look at my Portfolio, and see more.
That is about it!

Tomorrow is my last day of school before going on Summer Holidays. It is very exciting and I need this break so much, like I said over and over again! I am so looking forward to the summer- about 10 weeks of holidays!
I still have not got too much planned for this summer, but I know it will be a very good holiday! I can’t wait!!
Tomorrow, there is not too much going on, so that will be good.
Tomorrow:
I am really looking forward to this!

Admin, Design, Good Stuff, Life, Me, My Sites, News, Site.
As some of you know, I run a little design company- BlueSummerSkies Design. It really began in 2005. I did some work in March for a small birthday site. It was very small, not a lot of work to be done. I am now doing some work for a small jewelry company. The site is going to hopefully be online soon. Check out my Portfolio.
Next, in a few weeks or so, I will be starting on a site for a company called Biokinetics. I will be re designing their entire site, and doing a new company logo for them, and I’m really looking forward to it!
Next after that, in a little while, I might have another client to do work for, because they are thinking of opening a buisiness.
Here at my site, I’ve got a new design from Beccary, and I have already started customizing it. I will be done in a few months. Things might look wierd here for a while, but I’m working on things!
That’s it!

This week is only a four day week. Because of Good Friday, we get a long weekend, also, Monday is also a holiday. That’s two short weeks and a long weekend! 
I think I will be out this weekend, at my grandparents, and doing some other stuff. I am so happy there’s a long weekend.
The weather is going to be good, except the Weather Network is saying it might snow on Thursday, and Friday 
I know were probably going to get one more quick snowfall, and that will be it for the snow until next winter. The snow that will fall now, will probably not last, because the ground has warmed up a lot.
Over the next two Weeks, it’s also supposed to warm up more too, which I am so looking forward to.
I am also looking forward to this long Holiday weekend.
That’s all!
Also in a few weeks, I want to go out and take more Nature Photography. I have not done that in so long, and I have a better camera now, so I am looking forward to doing it!
That’s all for now.
