Pictures. I got a TON of them. Here, there and everywhere.
Anything from 2005 to the present are burned to CD's, the CD's are labeled with what is on them. As of last year (2008) I have been printing an index print with the CD's to keep with the CD. (awesome idea!)
And now I have slowly started moving everything from my hard drive to a site I love called Shutterfly. They are awesome, have a free service that I can upload all my pictures to, and even a website I can share with family, so they can see my pictures on a fun site!
Not to mention I make a yearly photo book for both grandparents of each kid (to save on money, Bagel's is for Christmas, and Weaky's will be on Mother's Day)
See my issue with not keeping my pictures on the computer, is when I want to blog, or pull up a picture, I love to just search my files for the pictures. BUT pictures take up a retarded amount of space that my 6 year old computer is not up for holding. (it gets slower with every month of pictures I dump into her!)
So if everything is on Shutterfly, I can just go get them there! Hooray!
I am off to upload this months pictures there now!!

A little story...
It's been a while, and I have been working at decluttering, and attempting to organize. What I want to share today is a Flylady message that was emailed to me.
There was a lady, who's MIL got sick, needed to go to assisted living, and her home needed to be sold, cleaned and sorted all in 6 weeks! The lady said that there was magazines dated from 1969 still there!! She was sad that a daughter-in-law was in charge of figuring what items were to keep and what to toss out. This motivated the DIL to clean and declutter her home, knowing that she didn't want anyone to have to go through what she was going through.
This inspired me to remember to declutter, and to keep things updated and my memories journaled. So future generations can understand me, and the things that made my life, mine.

18 lonley socks
This is kinda funny, well only to you. I am still sorting laundry, from three hours ago... Here are my stats so far...
Started at 1:30 pm it's now 4:19 pm
Started with an approx. pile of clothes 7 feet by 5 feet and, no shit, knee deep in my bedroom.
I am now able to see my bedroom floor, there are still piles to hang, and deliver to the kids rooms.
Socks... I had a pile. I sorted the pile, Spaghetti and the kids all have there socks matched... I have 18, yes 18 un matched socks. Where the eff did they go?
(possibly in the 9 laundry bags in Weaky's room?!?)
Not sure what bug got up my ass, but I am doing it. Little bits at a time...
Go me!
