Just an area for what I’m doing on an everyday basis.

The Last Few Days

After now doing things for the 1st few days of the week, I actually got a few things done the last few days. I had to force myself, but I was active project wise.

Friday I did go for a walk, went to another part of the neighborhood, hoping to find another short cut out of it. Nope, dead end. But it was about 40 and sunny. Started out very chilled, especially when the wind gusted up, but easily worked up a sweat.

When I got back, I actually got some online work done. It was hard, I’m in the shut down, want to avoid everyone and everything mode. I hate it, but it is hard to fight it.

Saturday, I actually got to going through all the pictures of the rv trip and getting them into galleries. That took forever, since there was about 6000 of them. Then it took almost 24hrs to get them all uploaded to the server. So that finished up this morning. I still have other pictures that I’ve taken that I need to get done, but the big project is done. I’m going to try and finish the little ones up sometime this week because I should be coming back from IN with a bunch of pictures from my mom that I’ll need to work on.

I worked on a holiday letter, my 1st and probably only one. But I wanted to let family members what was going on, plus I brought some holiday paper last year on clearance that I wanted to use. I love the decorations. =) Took awhile to print it out since I added a picture of Harold & I at the Painted Desert. But it came out pretty good, just need to fold them all to put into my xmas cards.

Which leads me to my next project, got all the cards labeled and signed……..just need to put in the letter, stamp and send out. I do have few that I want to make special notes in.

Then Sunday’s have become my clean the house day. The trash gets picked up on Mondays so I attack the cat litters, vacuum the whole house and gather the trash. Next week I’m going to have to attack the bathrooms since I’m leaving on the 5th for 10days. It feels good to get some physical labor in. There is some simple satisfaction in been able to see a job done.

Tomorrow I need to pick up some holiday looking stamps. I saw some nice Northern Lights stamps, so it gives the feeling of the season with the religious overtone.

I did get the rest of The Lord of The Rings books done. 4 books in one week, not bad. =)

Well, need to get to bed. I have been staying up too late the last few nights.

The Rest of the Trip

It took forever to go through them, make galleries and even longer to upload them.  But I was very fortunate that Harold had already organized them in order while merging the pictures from the nikon and the olympus, so that was a huge help.

Warning, there are 1000s of pictures here.  But there are so stunning ones.

RV Trip Pictures

I’ve finally started to work on making galleries of the 6000 some pictures that we took on our trip across country.  What is taking time is the upload and that will take a few days.  Here are a few of the galleries that have been uploaded.  There is about 2000 pictures within these 4 galleries alone.  I have 10 more to upload………icks

I still need to put them on the site.

Silly Fwd.

Jackie forwarded this to me……..lol

She was in the kitchen preparing to boil eggs for breakfast. He walked in; She turned and said,You’ve got to make love to me this very moment.’

His eyes lit up and he thought,’This is my lucky day.’

Not wanting to lose the moment, he embraced her and then gave it his all; right there on the kitchen table.

Afterwards she said, ‘Thanks,’and returned to the stove.

More than a little puzzled, he asked,’What was that all about?’

She explained, ‘The egg timer’s broken.’

Happy Turkey Day!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving filled with food, family, love and football!

We didn’t do anything but football and Harold made a great dinner.

I did get more of the The Two Towers read and went through my xmas card labels. Lets just say my card list has gotten smaller. I emailed a few folks to get their addresses so once I get those I can get the labels printed out. I hope to hear from them by Sunday, I really would like to have them done this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed. =)
