I feel like I dropped the ball in so many areas of my life this summer (and now creeping into fall). I allowed too many things to overwhelm me which made even the UNoverwhelming things feel like too much to deal with. Whether it was family, friendship, social, professional, spiritual, personal, I feel like I have wasted a lot of time.
I am going to try to do better with all the live and in person situations, but today I wanted to share a big ol' group hug with those whose blogs I visit regularly. I am going to try and get back on a schedule so I can visit and comment with a little more consistancy without allowing it to be one more thing that overwhelms me. Truthfully, I have been keeping up by reading my blackberry at night. I just haven't had the energy to fire up the computer and make the rounds at night.
Soooo, it is kinda like I have been spying on you!! :)
I will be dropping by soon!!

Carpal Tunnel Never Felt So Good
For a long time now, I have had the best intentions of downloading/saving all our pictures that are stored on the computer. I just knew that if I didn't do it soon, some great catastrophe would be the death of them.
And me.
breathe people. it's okay.
So for the last week, in between my other Internet ramblings and required life duties around here, I have been trying to get all my pictures downloaded onto a safe location.
First, I had to decide where to put them. Major life decisions make me falter, so I was stuck on that for awhile! There are so many easy and great choices out there. My husband suggested just saving them on CD, which I will probably do as well later, but I was trying to multi-task with the choice I made.
Aren't I always?!
Finally, I just went with Shutterfly. I already had 2 albums on their site because I had done my holiday cards with them twice. The other plus is that I can allow access to my family if they ever want to download/print some pictures for themselves. My dad is always wanting a copy of a picture here and there, so now I just simplified the process for him....and me!
Once I made that decision, I then decided to do it right from the beginning. Most of my albums will be for specific events, but I am also doing category albums. I will probably need to divide those up later, but for now, it will do.
The job would be much easier if I had been organized from the beginning! I had/have countless pictures just randomly saved in "MyPictures" file. At first, I would create an album, then start scrolling through ALL.THE.PICTURES. to find those that fit the category.
CRAZY! I stopped that mess and spent the last couple of days creating appropriate folders on my computer to make for easy album creation next!
Let's just say that my wrists will be parked over ice for the next few days!
But boy howdy, do the results make my little OCD-heart sing when I open the file and see all those nice and neat folders!
I should finish all my album downloading by the weekend. Then I can breathe again.
Blue is really not my color.
You would be so proud of me, too! I even have a folder labeled "BlogPictures".
I added this one to it recently:
Once again, I feel the need to remind you people to breathe!
I thought this would be a good time to introduce you to the newest member of the family~ Nikon D60 18-55VR.
Or as I like to call her~ Precious!
This was my TOTAL.SHOCK!OH.NO.YOU.DID.NOT!AND.I.THINK.I.HAVE.DIED.AND.GONE.TO.CAMERA.HEAVEN! gift that I received from my "work" family my last week there.
I won't even try to explain how much that place and those ladies mean to me right here. It is too big and deserves it's own story. Suffice it to say, we don't even discuss my leaving. We refer to it as my sabbatical until I return!
My "baby" is overwhelming! I am using her, but not nearly doing her justice so far! Just the simplest shots I take are almost breath-taking in terms of the crispness and clarity. I think I might try to take a photography class in the fall, so I can feel more like a pro.
Who knows, maybe I will even become a "pro"!

Just a click away!
I wasn't going to do WFMW this week, but just had to share this what with all the new blogs I am discovering this week!!
I am horrible about remembering where I saw a great idea or a neat place I wanted to return to. For some reason, I never really knew what the "favorites" icon would do until recently. Don't say it!!
WELL, it is my BFF these last few months! It comes in especially handy as I give away my Friday Fuzzies each Friday and need to look through my choices!
So, don't forget to click liberally on your "favorites" icon as you find stuff you want to remember for later! Blogs, websites, articles, stuff, you name it!
Especially this week!!
For more great ideas, head over to Rocks in my Dryer!
