Today I brought all my freshly printed Paris photos and the 2 photo albums Michelle gave me for my birthday and loaded them up. I filled both albums quickly (totalling 520 photos) and need another album for the remaining photos. Woohoo. Suddenly documenting my trip seems more manageable and I'm ready to go through the cds of the other girls' Paris photos and get some of those printed too. It was fun looking back on this trip, I still can't believe we went!
Poor Michelle didn't get very much done today thanks to an under-the-weather Eva and because she was helping me with some photo stuff online. She did manage to sort through some of her magazine clipping and created a cool page in her art journal. That's better than nothing right? We were just a little disappointed because we were comparing today to last week's glorious 22 card mailing!
Eva was a bit whiny today so we feared the worst, but she ended up taking a 2 hour nap and waking up a bit happier so that was good. At one point Michelle brought me the sipper cup filled with apple juice (which I hate) instead of taking it to Eva, what can we read in to that? Kind of funny.
I'm majorly tired because I slept poorly last night and have a sleeping pill hangover or something. We have football practice at 6:00 again tonight (3 nights in a row) and then are starting game night late. I need to either have a seriously therapeutic nap or I may end up putting a damper on our evening. Ugh.
P.S. I made a shorter version of yesterday's video attempt and it appeared to be loading correctly but then never turned out. I'm so bugged I could spit. (But I won't.)

ooh ooh! I'm first!
okay- I just had to get that in there because that never happens! I am oh-so-envious of Creative Fridays. I don't have any creative days or loved ones to share them with...Wistful.
fun times.
Time IS flying. I am so impressed that you've organized your Paris photos. I'm STILL trying to put my photos from France in their album (not scrapbook) all these years later....
I really dislike apple juice. And apple sauce for that matter. But I do like apples!
great use of time with the scrapbooks.
i am sad to say many pics remain on the computer or hard disks. makes me sad to think of.
i need to get them into albums. printed off first, then into albums.
oh and no scrapbooking for me.
I love that your pictures are in books. I can't wait to look at them all. This calls for an appointment on your couch.
I am not an apple juice fan. I have tried to do the apple juice cleanse 3 times and gotten strep on day 2 each time, I have officially given up.
I hate spitting. (Although I won a watermelon seed spitting contest at youth conference!)
**Do you feel like time is flying? for some strange reason no..everyday comes and goes..not slow and not fast-WEIRD!
Do you put your photos in albums or
do you scrapbook them all? neither-they are all on CD's...
How do you feel about apple juice? i enjoy apple juice!
I'm not a big juice fan - I prefer to eat my calories vs. drink them. But apple juice itself, yeah, I like the taste.
I used to put all my photos in albums until I moved a few times in just a few years and the albums were so heavy I decided to store them online (shutterfly) and order a few favorites every so often.
Time is flying. At Luci's school open house Tuesday evening, her teacher already had out sign up sheets for both the halloween and Christmas parties. Yikes! Oh, the other mom in the room volunteered to go it alone as far as the room mom thing - she is like a supermom- so I actually don't even have to be co-room mom. (Although I think I'll still end up doing a lot.)
Stop! My mum told me how many shopping days til Christmas today and I ran out of the room to avoid hearing it.
I'm glad you feel quite on top of the Paris photos. It all sounds too much work for me!
I'm really bad with printed photos and albums. Paul and I got married in 2000 and we've still not had any of the photos printed properly and put into an album. It's all in here...
*taps head*
*echoing, hollow sound*
We love apple juice here. We were always orange juice drinkers, but we went to Sweden on holiday and drank apple juice at the Vassa museum in Stockholm and fell in love with it. Sounds silly, but I always remember I 'discovered' apple juice at the Vassa.
I'm sorry to say this, Jill, but I don't think you're going to get a 'proper rest' until you actually catch a cold or smthg and your body FORCES you to just shut down and rest. I'd hate for you to be ill, but I think you won't stop til your body makes you! Hope you can prove me wrong soon!!
I hope that you print off your answers to your Paris questions and put that in your glorious photo albums! That would be a great documentation!
Ok - I don't care for apple juice. Perhaps I need to try it in a sippy cup though! I do enjoy warm spiced cider though in the fall.
Time passes too quickly for me. The older I get - the more freaked out I get! Honestly! It is ALMOST Christmas for heavens sake! Have you been to the stores? Whacky! Hope you sleep better tonight!
Sounds like a pretty productive day! I WISH my pictures were all in albums or scrapbooked...unfortunately, I have boxes of photos(pre-digital days)and soooo many on the computer and cds. Sad, really. I know the longer I don't get a handle on it, the harder it will be to get caught up!
Apple juice....funny, I don't usually drink it, but when I am sick, I want very, very cold apple juice. After each of my children, I craved it....but it has to be super cold.
I hope you have a better night of sleep tonight~
I put ALL my photos in albums--un-scrapbooked. It is yet another way I "keep it simple, stupid". I'm perpetually jealous of your creative Fridays and keep trying to concoct one here--no such luck.
Creative Fridays... sounds like heaven.
I love cold, cold apple juice it's really the only kind of juice I like to drink.
Almost none of my photos are scrapped or in albums. A couple of years ago I did organize them by year into photo boxes~ it's really sad but just so overwhelming. If I would've known I had to do so many scrapbooks I don't think I would've had so many kids!JK
Amie- what's the apple juice cleanse? that sounds scary.
Jill- hope you get some sleep tonight!!
Sorry to hear Eva was not feeling well. Glad to see you got so much done with your pictures. Sounds like you will enjoy looking at your pictures now that they are in the albums.
I do feel like time is just flying by..... I do not scrapbook my pictures and only have less than half in some kind of album, most recent ones are all digital so on the computer.
And you just don't like Apple juice period? Hmmm...I like it, mostly just when I'm sick, well second to orange juice.
I also had a terrible night last night and totally thought of you and wondered if you were up reading some blogs like me! Let's both get some sleep tonight okay?
Yes, my time is flying. I love that you brought up Christmas, since my family always thinks that I start thinking Christmas too early.
Good work on the Paris photos. What a great trip!
PS: you don't like apple juice? That is so bizarre. I thought everyone liked apple juice.
Apple Juice is my favorite and YES time is flying. I cannot believe It is almost October!
I love to Scrapbook. The problem is that I never seem to find the time to do it. So I have files full of pictures and I really need to catch up. i am probably about 7 years behind.
By the way, thank you SO much for the birthday gift. I absolutely LOVED the cards.....
The sipper of apple juice is too funny- esp since you detest the stuff. I love apple juice when it is cold. I don't understand the whole warm apple cider stuff-blech.
The Paris books look awesome- such a great idea. I never print photos unless they are for a project anymore. Such a downside of going digital for me. But I like this idea. I want to see it.
Time is flying. Christmas is coming. It will be 2008 before we know it. I want it so slow down.
I'm shocked that anyone doesn't think time if flying -- you mean it's a matter of perception?! I thought it really WAS flying faster and faster all the time! I don't get it.
So funny about the apple juice, I didn't even know you hate it. I pretty much enjoy all juice, but only let myself drink it if I'm sick or eating breakfast in a restaurant...
Yesterday definitely wasn't as productive (for me) as last week, but Creative Friday is still always so therapeutic, my big thing that I look forward to at the end of the week. And I loved seeing all your photos in albums! I really need to get mine out of boxes and into albums. (I keep saying that...)
You've been to Paris??? I'm so jealous! I'm glad you took so many pictures. I'm sure I will too if I ever make it there.
I don't scrapbook AT ALL anymore, or even develop pictures to just slide into books. I think that's a good idea though. I think I would for a big trip though. I cherish my scrapbooks from when I used to do that though!
i like apple juice - but if a coke is available i will always use my useless calories for that! i have never scrap booked in my life; ever. so all photos are on dvds or in albums. and finally, if time went by any quicker i swear i would just give up! :)
I just put my Europe photos from our trip 6 years ago into an album just like yours last week. I have been trying to scrapbook them for 6 years and finally gave up. I actually really like them in the photo album.
hey missy, I didn't know Michelle gave you photo albums for paris fotos...here I thought I was being ingenious...well, I am sure you will find a good use for them. I never have scrapbooked...and the only thing near it that i like is those layouts that Amy does...I really don't like all the collaging that goes on...it is too crowded for me. I do put them in photo albums, although since I GOT the digital, I have yet to print something 20K i HAVE...ridiculous...I have managed to put them in a folder TBP to be printed...well, yes Missy I love apple juice but no more than Orange, that is still my favorite with pomogranet...spl.? but I do have apple juice with lemon I usually extract it every 3 days or so...I do like 4 apples with 1/2 a lemon and it is heavenly....really...the lemon does wonders...and on the other days every 3 or 4 I do carrot juice with spinach, celery, ginger, apple, and anything I can find that is nutricuious...at least we drink one of these things once a week. I do feel like you should try it when you get the migrane...for science sake and see if it disipates...that way you can enjoy a diet coke with me, next time we see eachother...do it for science...pls.....? and yes time is flying. I am still yet to write away...everything is sorted, I just have to QUIET the place down...and get in the mood. I seriously don't know how you do it, when there are people or noice around...it is such a thought activity for me. The last correspondence I have sent...has been interrupted and I feel pesty about it!!!
oh, my like if that comment was not long enough, I forgot to say, that I yet to see your photos from paris and your blog post about it...I have been dying to do it, but I figured in my mind, that next time I was at Ale's work I would use his 26 inch computer to see the delightfulness...but haven't managed to make an appointment....now I will...PS..I got your lovely photo...from the painters house...wow....you must make doubles of those nice onces you like, remember I have a photo ALbum of pictures you take...and it is only 1/2 way full.
ciao
That must be so satisfying to get those photos in an album! My scrapbooking is so far behind, that I need to figure out a solution for my pictures that aren't scrapbooked yet (and may never be!). One of the challenges with going digital, I guess.
Yes, time is flying and I'm not really happy about it. I'm trying my best to slow it down, but that never seems to work.
I went through a long phase where I hated apple juice, and I still don't seek it out, but I don't find it as horrible as I once did. I do actually like the fresh pressed kind you can get in the fall.
Love a project like that getting done. That is a serious amount of photos. I love the albums that hold that many photos at once.
If there is nothing else at all, I'll opt for apple juice but other than that I hate the taste it leaves in your mouth.
Time is flying by, I have to start shopping soon because once I'm as big as a house with swollen feet I doubt I'll have the desire.
I may have found a creative friend, woo-hoo! She is coming over tomorrow with her card-making magazines and we are going to choose some card making projects to try together. Is it okay to have a Creative Monday???
Sounds to me that it was a successful day even though you didn't send out a mass mailing. I want to see your album, next friday bring it out. I have like michelle been going through all of my mags, once I moved them upstairs I realized I had entirely too many.
sorry about your video. I hate it when technology fails.
time is not flying for me. it is moving like molassas and laughing at me while i continue to wipe bottoms, buckle seat belts, put on 3 pairs of shoes every time i leave my house, i feel like this stage of my life with little ones will never end...
will this comment come back to haunt me someday
and i am ordering some of my photos today! so great idea
