FIx it Friday

Ok so I'm Not very good at this kind of thing but thought I would play along. Here is the original Photo.

Here is my edit

In Corel PaintShop ProPhotoX2 I smoothed his skin and used the Makeover tool to remove the dirt, brighten his eyes, and make his teeth and eyes whiter. I used the burn tool to burn the edges of his eyes and then selected his eyes and inverted my selection to select everything in the photo except his eyes. Then I changed what I had selected to black and white. I also adjusted the brightness a little and cropped it.

Head on over to I Heart Faces for more editing fun. If you have any suggestions to help make it better let me know!

So here's the 10 honest things about me...

1. I bite my fingernails. I have ever since I can remember. I quit when Sean and I first started dating and didn't bite my nails for 3 whole years then started nibbling again this summer. Maybe it's stress...I should quit again.
2. I don't like tomatoes. I've tried so hard to like them. I've tried them fresh with pepper, with tuna fish, on salads. I just don't like them. They look and smell so good, just don't taste to hot... on a side note I love ketchup and Salsa.
3. I was voted Greek Female of the Year my Senior year in college. I was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha fraternity.
4. I've always had weird mascots... My high school mascot was the Scrappers and my College Mascot was the Wonder Boys...I know..don't laugh.
5. I sell Insurance and I love it. And I'm supposed to be doing it right now...
6. I ate gluten free cookie dough for supper last night.
7. When I finally have enough money to build a house I want a log home with green roof and a wrap around porch.
8. My Great Grandmother is 94, still alive and well, still walks every morning, and still has a garden. She's under 5 foot tall and 1/2 Indian (native-American)
9. My Maiden name is Millwood..
10. Right now I'm Eating a Banana and drinking a Coke Zero.

Today's Top Ten Thursday is Favorite Books and is hosted by In the Mommy Trenches. I'm super excited about this top ten because I love to read. It really gets in the way sometimes because I put off household chores to read...Anyway here are my top ten in no particular order:

Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen- This book is by far one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's funny, sad, sweet, and has everything you look for in a good book! I had a hard time putting this one down.

Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer- If you haven't read the twilight books..just break down and do it. They make you feel like you're young and in love. And if you can't fall in love with Edward then we can't be friends....

Sara's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay- I'm really in to historical Fiction books and this one was really good. It's about a little girl who lives through the holocaust. It's a mystery with a love story twisted into it!

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory- This book was awesome! Again, it's Historical Fiction..My favorite. It's about Anne Boleyn and her sister and the reign of King Henry VIII. (She's the one who he left the Church for so he could divorce his wife and marry Anne) There are three or four other books that go along with this book and I highly recommend all of them, The Boleyn Inheritance and the Constant princess are the two I have read but there are a few more.

Rebecca-Daphne DuMaurier I had to read this in High School and Loved it so much I've re-read it and even read the sequel. All my friends made fun of me because in High School you are supposed to hate to read and buy the cliff notes instead. It's a great Love mystery that is very dark and mysterious.

The Time Travelers Wife- Audrey Niffenegger -Love this book!! I really want to see the movie now that it has been made. It's hard to put down and sometimes a little confusing but a very fun read and has everything you look for in a book, happiness, sadness,mystery, action, love, etc.

Pride and Prejudice-Jane Austen Who doesn't love reading about Mr. Darcey & Elizabeth? I love this era of big dresses and fancy parties. This love story is amazing. The movie they made from this book was actually pretty close to the book, I enjoyed it!

Harry Potter-J.K. Rowling- I'm such a kid! These are so much fun to read! I started reading them when I was in Junior High and Loved the magic and fun it brings to the reader. The movies were all good but are nothing compared to the book. I can't believe how creative J.K. Rowling is!!

My Sister's Keeper-Jodi Picoult- This is a really good, it is a glimpse into lives of a family dealing with Cancer of a child. It's a real life story that is a tear jerker but with lots of laughs.

Zoo Keepers Wife: A war Story-Diane Ackerman Another historical fiction book, and it's actually based on a true story. It's extremely interesting and is about the zoo keepers in Warsaw (I think) during WWII and how they helped their friends and country.

Well That's my favorite 10 books, there are a million more but I just can't sit here and talk about books all day...
