It’s important to back up your digital photos on to disk as well as onto other hard drives (you never know when one will just stop working). I am in the processing of tagging, labeling, and moving my photos so they are easier to find and it’s great to go back through and see what you have shot over the past year.
I absolutely love the detail in this door I shot in Greece, I will be adding it to my Art Gallery along with more art from my travels.
Speaking of bags . . .
I always choose bags that are multi-functional. I wanted a laptop bag for my 17″. I got a Tenba Shootout a few weeks ago which can hold my laptop as well as my camera, lenses, and equipment and has tons of pockets! It’s even tall enough to carry a 70-200mm.
The one thing about shoulder bags though is that they will definitely strain your shoulder, so I may eventually get a laptop backpack bag by either Tenba or Lowepro, but since I mostly got this as a laptop bag, I won’t be carrying my gear with me all the time in this bag . . . but it’s nice to know I can!
I got a new bag! M-Rock Arches which will be perfect for vacations and actually has more usable space than my Tamrac Adventure 75 Backpack. I tried the Lowepro Sling Shot 300AW, but it was too bulky for me, so I went with the similar M-Rock Arches bag which has more pockets and more usable space for me. It isn’t bulky and since it’s a sling bag I’ll have easy access to my camera and still have the similar support of a backpack 🙂
Well, I won $3 . . .
Adrienne and I couldn’t think of anythig to do the other night. We didn’t want to go bowling, and there weren’t any movies we wanted to see. So we decided to spend 5 $1 bills getting the $1 lottery tickets at random gas stations. Any money we won, we used to go to the next random gas station. When we won $2 we split the winnings for the next random gas station. It was fun 🙂
Stop #1 – I won $1
Stop # 2 – $0
Stop # 3 – I won $2
Stop # 4 – $0
Stop #5 – $0
Stop #6 – Adrienne won $2
Stop #7 – $0
I saw a commercial that Cinderella was going back into the Disney Vault! So when I had to exchange something at Target yesterday I got my Special Edition.
Here is the Cinderella Official Website: http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/cinderella/
I have heard it was around 10 years movies would stay in the vault, but I have heard something about releases after 5 years

Every year people make resolutions, and usually something they will forget or not accomplish because it’s such a big ‘promise’. I’m usually not big on making the yearly resolutions, but I am going to try and blog more! So I guess that will be my resolution . . . more often, more info, more photos!
So keep checking back often and leave me comments, I love to hear from you!
Google Sync is Awesome!
I downloaded Google Sync today on my Blackberry. If you use the Google Calendar, Google Sync will update your online Google calendar with your blackberry calendar. You can find it at http://mobile.google.com from your phone
You may have to download a patch for your software which you can download from your blackberry at http://www.blackberry.com/calendarpatch it may take a couple of tries and a minute or two to get to the download page.
When I was notified to update my patch, I was directed to http://www.blackberry.com/calendarpatch2007Â which has all the info.
Gary and I went to a friends house for their New Years Party – lots of fun! Around 10:00 we played ‘Yankee Swap’ which is like “dirty santa” or “white elephant” so you bring a gift that you got for christmas that you don’t want or any other kind of gift that would be funny. Anything from socks to a crab shaped dish, and a dancing frog that was singing britney spears. Hilarious! and don’t worry, there wasn’t a whole lot of “stealing” haha.
here is the tree with all the ‘Yankee Swap’ gifts and the gift I opened and no one stole from me!
Should I keep this for next year???
This might be me in 2008 on road trips 😛
So Far, here are the plans for 2008, but some of them have not been finalized:
January – Gary’s Cousin will be in town!
February – Road Trip To Chicago
– Trip to Sedona Arizona
August – Possibly another trip to Chicago?
October – One of our good friends wedding!
– Cruise to the Caribbean
November – Wedding in Canada
December – Maybe a trip up North?
Yes! Gary gave me a jar of dirt for Christmas which was SUPER thoughtful (I thought he gave it to me because I love Pirates of the Caribbean movies)! I almost liked it more than the gift he was leading up to! So I was told i already got my gift which was a birthday/Christmas gift (
) so . . .
I got “Instead”
an Elmo Submarine which just made me laugh since I just thought it was a joke and that Gary didn’t know what to get me, A Captain Jack Sparrow Action Figurine
, a Jar of Dirt which i LOVE and almost feel like Jack here: 
, and a model of the Queen Mary (no photo) which I thought was a little odd since I didn’t remember expressing a particular interest in putting models together. . .
All of these were either boat related or Caribbean related (Pirates of the Caribbean) and I didn’t put anything together since I wasn’t expecting much . . .
the last box held two brochures for cruises to the Caribbean! We just booked our trip today for 2008 and I am Super Excited!
We will be taking a 7 day Cruise later in 2008 and I can’t wait! These are the destinations we will be going to!
