Photoshop is eating my brains. It is zombie photoshop. And I wanted to get this newsletter done and printing so I could do other stuff all day but instead I am dinking around in photoshop. Someone tell me now is not the time for my learning curve, and I can put together a perfectly functional version with cute kids in the cover photo, and it will all be fine. My donors are not going to freak out over the brightness and contrast levels of the image of cute kids laughing.

How far past expiration is OK to eat dark chocolate.
StillTasty says 1 year if it's opened, 2 years if unopened. So since January = fine.
And I've certainly eaten old chocolate that I've lost on a shelf and found again and had no idea how old it was. It's always been fine.

The shoe discussion reminds me that I should start looking into on-line ordering of shoes soon, so I will have enough time to return anything I order if it doesn't fit and get a new pair before the next time I need black pumps.
