It’s time to archive.


October 1990

My Labor Day Weekend was very relaxing

  • On Saturday, I went with Patty to the wedding gown shop to learn how to bustle her dress for the wedding.
  • On Sunday, I had a little BBQ with the husband in our patio.
  • Today, we went to To’s 30th Birthday Party at Liberty Park in the afternoon and then had some home cookin’ with the parents in the evening.

While I was home, I searched for my old photo albums. I came upon albums starting from 8th grade all the way up to sophomore year of college. Jackpot! Unfortunately, the albums were falling apart and they take up a lot of space. So, I decided to start an archive. I’m going to pull them all out, scan my favorites into my computer, and then store all the photos in neatly organized boxes. It’s time to toss those albums! I also found some old negatives that I’m going to file away with the photos. This is truly when I appreciate the Digital Age. I just need to make sure everything is backed up at least 3 times just in case my admin decides to kill one of our hard drives again.

friends forever

Get a load of this photo taken June 1993. In preparation for Patty and Johnny’s wedding slideshow, Johnny and I were exchanging photos and he sent this one to me. Boy, I don’t even know where my copy of this photo is but it has to be one of my favorites.

TV is entertaining

I am what the media would consider a TiVo watcher.  I record only a handful of shows and that’s all I watch.  I also don’t watch commercials unless I forgot to fast forward.  Well, last night I sat down in the front of the TV and watched network television programming. Most of it consisted of flipping between the MTV Video Music Awards, Grey’s Anatomy, and other random channels. I must have been living in the Food Network bubble for quite some time because there’s a bunch of other stuff out there that I’ve been missing. Without the luxury of fast forward, I had to sit through all the programming and advertisements and did so with such delight.  I saw commercials that I had never seen before and the music awards included a lot of new bands and artists that I had never heard of. During the commercials and Jackass segments, I laughed out loud and had an overall entertaining experience.  I didn’t think TV would be so novel to me but it was. I might have to check out the new fall line up of shows now.
