WoW

I'm really trying to update this more often. And failing miserably! Here's a fun picture from last weekend. (And no, I have no idea why it's so small...)

I was so blessed last weekend because I got to go along with Andrew and Jessy to WOW, a church retreat for the Methodist youth. We had lots of fun, heard lots of good artists, and lost lots of good sleep. ;) I'd love to go back another year, but I think Andrew would be furious if I went again next year, so it may have to wait awhile!

2010

Welcome to 2010. The year the Bartholomew family budget goes digital. Completely. No more paper bills laying around for me. I have entered the world of scanning everything I may need. So, welcome to 2010. The year my computer will probably crash. heh Yeah, I'm thinking positively. :)

The good news is, I'm backing up my budget now. So, if it crashes, at least this month is saved!

Question...how many cd's will it take to save the 10,000 pictures I have on this computer? And how do I keep track of what I already saved?

Wanted: my motivation back

In the past 3 days, I have done a ton...cleaned and purged 4 closets, my room, the laundry room, two bathrooms, and just plain cleaned my living room and the counter tops/stove tops/table of my kitchen. Sounds great, right? HOWEVER, I still have so much stuff!!

My next job should be to clean out my kitchen cupboards. They need it. Then, under the stairs. And of course the family room (which still has Halloween stuff out!). And don't forget the storage room, which could just use a general purge (read...get rid of everything in my path!!!). Oh, and the van, which probably would be a hazard in itself if I got in an accident. But I think I'm cleaned out. How am I ever going to finish?

I slept till noon today. It was fabulous, and I highly recommend it! I really really hope I get some motivation today, though, so I can finish my purging before the kids get home!

Let me know if you find it, please!
