Flusterated!!!

So this week, I have finally attacked a beast of a project that weighs on my mind about 23 hours a day: backing up my photos. Our computer is a little older and not acting happy, and my only other backup is a My B00k, which my friend Lynanne has had problems with. So, I finally decided I MUST do this before a disaster strikes. I chose flickr, and I'm not sure I'm happy with that decision. It's not free, but not necessarily expensive - and over the past couple of years I've followed a lot of flickr journeys - so I thought it was the best choice. I'm not so sure now. My uploads keep freezing, the photos are not uploaded in the same order I select them, and my sets have gotten messed up more than once. Some of this is likely user error - and I know I'm uploading up to 100 images at a time - but still. I've spent HOURS doing this and I'm not even half done.

I've also deleted about 2000 images (on purpose). Back when KK was only a few months old, even the blurry photos had to stay. They are all a moment in time that I wanted to hold onto forever, but now I'm a little more liberal with the delete button. I just can't keep 5000+ pictures, even if she is my one and only. It's painful to see them go, but I'm getting better. Now if this dang site wouldn't be such a pain in the arse!

Here are a few of my 'old' favorites:


(That's Donkey!) : )

I desperately want (want want want!) Photoshop, but then I would be seriously obsessed with this insane little hobby. And it would probably kill this old computer. For now, back to the uploading project....arrrrgh!
