Has it been long enough yet?

OK, it's almost been a year since we ambitiously started this slacker blog.  I think it's time for our third post.  Well, Terri - what did YOU accomplish in 2011 and what do you hope to accomplish in this, our possibly final year (according to the Mayans).  I have so many ambitious ideas, I'd like to share a few with you.

One:  My year in photos.  I hereby vow to more successfully complete my "picture of the day" theme that I started in 2011 and made it until about March.  Yes, I admit that some of those days I went in and changed the date stamp so I could have one from each day - and I even uploaded about 30 once and said it was for a month...maybe this year I will be more accurate.  If you want to join me, there's (of course) an app for that!  I have it on my itouch and every day you can take a photo and upload it into the premade calendar.  I'm not sure what you can do with it after that, but let's see how far I can go first.  Of course, you iphone will probably take much better pictures than mine, but if you want some creative help - you may already know about camera+ app.  I've seen some photos taken using that on Facebook and they look pretty great.  I'm sure there's more out there, so let me know if you find any.

Of course I want to do with my SLR as well, so I will use my other blog, Melissa Maillett Photography, to display those.  The first 2 day's photos are still on a card in my camera so I count on you to urge (read "nag") me to get them into the blog.

Two:  How about, "project every 2 weeks"?  I was going to say a project a week, but I don't think some of these can be accomplished in a week.  I need to recane a few chairs, finish knitting a scarf, simply add a border and quilt a little blanket that I found that my mom had almost completed....let's see - oh yest, take the ABC baby border off my 15-year-old son's walls, hang some pictures and numerous other projects that seem fun for about the first 30 minutes.

Three:  Of course, this is the year I will draft the great American novel.  What about you?

Four:  I want to convert boxes of old slides into digital files.  I know of a place that you mail them out to, but have been to chicken to try it out.

Five:  In the same vein, would like to get our old VHS wedding video tapes transferred to movie files that I can play with and actually have something worth watching.  It was great having two people volunteer to videotape our wedding reception, but not such a great idea when one of those people placed the camera on a table and left it running for about half the tape.


Ok, I leave it to you now - what resolutions did you make this year?  Will you keep any?

Oh - as a special treat, I did download the first three photos from my 365 project and included them here....
