this and that
January 23rd, 2008In the three minutes that I have before I need to start getting ready for work, I offer the following gibberish.
My Group DITL photos are almost ready. I've got them narrowed down to 109 so far, plus a couple from each of two photo events. It either needs to be closer to 50 or really exciting to keep interest. So… I'm getting there. It was a huge success and tons of you did it which makes me very happy. On Saturday-ish I'll have a nice post with all the participants and awards and such.
I've decided I need to limit what I plan to get done each day. As it stands now, I find myself looking back at each day and seeing that I either worked myself to exhaustion with little to no time for anything personal (the baby, my wife, e-mail, photos, etc), or, that I was so overwhelmed with what I had to do that I did nearly nothing at all — watched TV, did a few chores in the most mediocre of fashions, etc. So, in the effort of trying something new, I'm just going to pick a handful of things for each of several categories to do each day and completely push everything else out of my mind. If I find myself less frantic this way, then I'll start making a list of all the things I didn't get done so that I can choose a bit more wisely on future days.
Celeste will be a month old this Saturday. A MONTH OLD! Time flies.
My sister-in-law was in a pretty bad accident this past weekend. She is at home and doing better now but it has happened at a very difficult time for her and my brother which certainly doesn't help. If you believe in such things, please send your good thoughts, prayers, and energy their way. It'd mean a lot to me.
A good friend of ours had their first boy of four children last Saturday. He was a VBAC and born happy and healthy at 1:02pm on Saturday. We are very happy for them and are filled with hope for our next child.
Today (1/23/08) is a DITL Day in the DITL LiveJournal Community. Since I won last week's (woo hoo!) I can't win this week, but I wasn't doing it to win anyway. I just find it fun to do and fascinating to look at.
The 3 minutes I had has turned into 18. I really need to shower and get to work. More later…
