Goals

So I did not really make any resolutions this year. I do not really think I ever do. But today I have been wasting time on the net ( not like I do not do that everyday) and I am seeing a lot about Project 365 in the scrapping world. I know there are a billion P365 things out there but I was mainly looking at the stuff that pertains to the scrapping world. So it got me thinking maybe I should do this.... but then when do I have time..... but it would be a great way to document our year.... but i will probably only last a week so why bother.... it would help me learn how to use my new camera better and better my skills....but printing all the pages out would cost a fortune..... but then they always have specials randomly in the year and I did already prepay for some albums in shutterfly.... So I am thinking now maybe I should attempt it. Then I start thinking I have a lot of scrapping wants for this year.... maybe I should list them so I can make sure I work on all of them LOL

1- create and upload all wrestling pics to a group for the team parents
2- create a Schwab group and upload all pics that pertain to Schwab family activities
3- continue to upload all pics to the Sorenson group
4-Get all 2006 and 2007 pictures scrapped and into a book ( either bound and printed or printed and slipped into the remaining slots of the paper albums already started)
5-Create a year in review album for MIL for Christmas 2009 with all Schwab families included(I think this is what we are planning to do for my MIL from now on for Christmas presents)
6- Set up to have my blog printed out ( working on this a little at a time and having it ready so that when a good sale price comes along I will be ready)
7- Do a wrestling album for Dallen
8- Do a soccer album for each kid
9- Do project 365 in an 8x8 size
OH HECK WHY NOT MAKE IT AN EVEN 10
10- Make a Sorenson album (this will require the other Sorenson girls help!!!!)

So I guess those are my scrapping goals - Yikes that is a lot I am going to be spending all my time on the puter how am I going to finish all my other goals?

other goals to work on this year-
1-Organize the Pantry- I want to put a big chunk of our food storage in the pantry for easy rotation
2- Work on food storage - right now we have enough to get through one month just fine and we could survive longer but that is with eating some boring meals and who wants to have a boring food storage- what good is it if you do not want to eat it
3- Learn to eat more fresh veggies and fruit and get a little more fiber in the diet- this is not something I am really good at I rather eat sweets than healthy stuff but I do not want to have multiple health problems as the years go on so I need to work on getting more variety
4- To blog more often - after all I am using this as my journal so I need to write in it more often- now if only I could upload pictures I would be happier with this blogger thing

of course there is always the regular pay off debt and loose weight issues which I am constantly working on but those go without saying

lets try uploading the rest of those pics....

ok Blogger is seriously killing me I am trying to upload these pics and it will not do it URRRGG

Katie- Lips I have is 360 i do not know if they make it for regular Xbox?

Denise- thanks for the compliment - I want to take that class too they are offering it again this semester - Last year they did it in a 6 week class the first weeks of Summer I would love to take it then but then the kids are out of school and what do you do with them? I got a Nikon D90


oh my hell I can not get anything to upload URRR

got a video to upload and then right before I saved it WHAM I lost it ---- now I am trying the jump rope one remember I just got this camera and I did not know that they recorded one direction and I have yet to figure out if I can rotate them after I record them sorry.



ok trying the pics one more time..... nope still nothing urrr

woo hoo it is working now.....



Dallen against Aunt Brit

Claira

I did have another uploaded of Dallen and one of Eddie and then the darn system went down - I guess this is good for now LOL

Pictures

I am wondering Why? Why do I take so many dang pictures? I have spent 5 hours today on the puter uploading pictures, rotating them ( I switch my camera position often) and weeding out the blurry ones. Now honestly I have not been just sitting here the entire 5 hours, but a good portion I am sure. Because I take so many pictures of things my kids do with other peoples kids,they say "oh well since you are taking pictures I will just put my camera away because you take better pictures." Well yes I do have some good pictures partially because I have a really good camera, and partly cause I take "eleventy billion" and just post the few cute ones. So now I have to upload my pics to snapfish or shutterfly for the other parents so they can see the pics and have a chance to print them out. Either that or burn them a disk of the pictures. Which is fine I do not mind sharing it just takes forever to upload. It is killing me! So today I am creating a Wrestling group page on snapfish and then after that is done I am going to create a Schwab page. (We already have a Sorenson page.)

So I am starting to learn all the new features on my new camera - man there are a million. It also takes video. I am still not good at making that too clear but it has been really nice having that option. I made a video of Dallen singing with aunt Brit. Once I figure out how to, I will upload it here. And one of Dallen trying to jump rope at wrestling practice. He soooo can not jump rope it was too funny.

Last night as I was walking into wrestling practice I went to place my new camera on my shoulder. BAM it dropped straight off the shoulder strap and to the ground. I was not very happy. Luckily it did not break, cause I had my brand new $300 lense on the front. There is no way I could replace that for a while. My lense cover has some big gashes in it and my lense itself has a few but at least not on the actual glass portion so I think it will survive.

Claira got this new Xbox game for Christmas, Lips. It is so much fun if you have an Xbox you have to get it!!! It is like a karaoke game, you can sing by yourself or you can sing against others it is so much fun. We showed it to Brit when she came over on New Years Day. We played that thing for hours and now Brit is thinking she will let Zach get that Xbox that he has been asking for.


One of the best thing about Brit and Zach coming up to visit was miss Ellaree. (Sorry Brit you are second place now LOL) I took elenty billion pictures of Ella. Many of them are really cute. Of course though they are of a baby LOL so here are a few that I love.

ok That is all for now uploading to Blogger is stinking slower than molasses... more next time.
