A little ridiculous, I know . . .

I know, I know- this is very old news.  By the end of 2010 I found myself so overwhelmed with life that I just downloaded photos to my computer and then did nothing with them.  I know this is a problem for a lot of people, but it’s not one I usually have.  I don’t think anyone would describe me as a perfectionist, but when it comes to my photographs I definitely have OCD tendencies.  My goal this year is to try to let go of that a bit.  All of these images are SOOC (straight out of my camera).  I’m starting to clean up my hard drive and I’m running into lots of memories that seem to be stuck there.  I decided to post these even though they are about three months old.  My blog is kind of like my personal journal or scrapbook.  I want to make sure that these moments are documented.  I am also terrible about actually printing my photos.  My sister made a spectacular book out of the first 6 months of my blog back in 2006.  I need to hire her to do 2007 until now.  It’s an overwhelming task- I won’t be able to afford to pay her hourly.  If you have a blog or are thinking about starting one, check into Blurb’s “blog slurper”.  It “slurps” up all the content of your blog and puts into a book format.  Sadly, my blog is not compatible.  Blogging is such a great way to keep friends and family up to date.  Plus, it’s an easy way of recording life for those of us who are hopeless when it comes to scrapbooking!
