November 2010


While many people chose to relax this past Turkey weekend – I decided to put the troops to work and rearrange the furniture.

What I realized is that many of my cabinets are filled with old photo albums – from the pre-digital age.

Yes – dinosaurs do live here.

These albums are taking up valuable and much needed space.

Space that I want to reclaim.

But what should I do with those albums?

I have spent the entire day today scanning photos onto my computer.

But it has been tedious work and very slow going.

I am not sure how long I will keep it up before I give up.

And then there is the matter of the actual pictures. Even though they are scanned – I might not be able to bear the thought of just throwing them away.

I need ideas ladies.

Do tell – how do you manage your old photo collections?

Do you harden your heart and toss away the old stuff? Or are you the nostalgic type – making space where there is none for all of those old dusty memories?

Ground Turkey – What Should I Buy?

Ok – I need a little help here. Ground turkey is a funny thing. Usually I head to the Stop & Shop and pick up either Perdue or Nature’s Promise. My family likes it. They eat it without complaining – at least not too much. But today – I was in a time crunch. Am [...]

Sluggish Mac

I have noticed that on occasion my Mac is sluggish. Every time I type something the cursor would turn into a spinning ball for just a few seconds. Very frustrating – if you do as much work on the computer as I do – and even if you don’t. So, of course I set out [...]
