This is the post where I tell on myself and then enjoy the happy photo find! And somehow I connected both What I Wore and What Works For Me.... another happy connection...
First the tell on myself part...
I have a love / hate relationship with the digital photography realm. One the one hand, I love the instant gratification of seeing the photo you just took and knowing what it looks like and whether or not you want to take another.
But what I really dislike, and can't seem to get a handle on, even after all these years of taking digital photos is the "processing" of them. No, I'm not taking that little roll of film to the store to have it developed, but there is still a process - unloading the sd card, filing the photos, editing, and backing them up.
Friends, it's confession time - I stink at this process. I'm pretty good at getting them off the sd card, but once they enter my laptop, forget about it - literally. And the backup - mama mia I can't tell you the last time...I know.... {sigh}
Case in point - I switched laptops in the fall... about 4 months ago, and just now have I begun to put the photos on my new laptop. Part of the problem is the learning curve with iPhoto - SO, if anyone has any tips on using this program, and wouldn't mind helping a sista out, I'd be terribly grateful!!
Now the happy photo find...
But I digress..... In the uploading I just finished I was pleasantly surprised to find a photo shoot I did with my Dollie last fall. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon after church and we both looked cute, or so we thought, so we had some shots taken...
These outfits are really typical for the two of us. I love the skirt, boot, top look for fall and winter and it works for me, so I go with it. She is really into the blazers/jackets right now.
My outfit - black skirt: Macy's, print top: Macy's, boots: Famous footwear
Her outfit - not sure - black jeans: Macy's, top & jacket: Charlotte Russe, boots: Famous Footwear

What I Wore Wednesday @ The Pleated Poppy
Works For Me Wednesday @ We Are THAT Family
This morning I was mixing up a batch of Taco Seasoning Mix and I had the thought - "doing this takes so little time and yet it so works-for-me." Then I had a slap-my-forehead moment when I realized I should share it with the masses on Works For Me Wednesday.
I only wish I had made a note of where I originally got the idea and the recipe, though we have tweaked it over the years.
It's easy to make.
It's easy to use.
It tastes great.
And you know exactly what's in it...unlike the envelopes...
TACO SEASONING MIX
1 Tbs. Chili Powder
2 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Oregano (optional)
1 tsp. Sugar
1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
Mix together.
Store in an airtight Container. (My TW snack cup holds a double batch.)
I believe one batch is about the same amount as one of those envelopes, but honestly, I just eyeball it.
I also typed up the recipe and put it on the fridge so I don't have to look for the recipe when we run out. (Because I'm efficient like that...)
