Catch up on my blog entries

It’s about time I mark this one as give up. I haven’t had time for blogging in a very long time and that’s not likely to change in the near future. When it does change, the goal would be something like “blog regularly” but not “catch up on…”

I guess I’ve been too busy living new experiences to blog about them. And to be honest I’ve been spending more time here than writing on my blog too. But I do want to get going on this. Here is a list of some of the things I would like to blog about. If I can get some momentum maybe I’ll cross them off as I go. This is by no means in any particular order although I will give top priority to the ones I’m marking in red..

• Mining for Dad’s rock treasure
• Fremont walk
• Russ & Jen wedding pics
• Totem House – Chief Sealth letter
• Vashon quilt story
• Trip to Vashon
• North Carolina trip pics
• Pam’s wedding
• Our Westport trip
• Puyallup Fair
• Northwest Trek
• Halloween – kids visiting the office in costume
• “Museum of Fright”
• Nikka’s dance recital
• Ben’s bday dinner & more Bill carvings
• Volunteer Recognition Evening
• Meals on Wheels – Failure to Thrive
• Thanksgiving / JJ North’s
• Walter’s last eye appt
• Philippines tours

I got a couple entries posted before I took off for vacation. But I’m in no better shape because I added several posts to my “wish list” during my time off. Pictures to share, stories to tell. It’s not going to be easy to catch up.

I have been fortunate to participate in lots of fun activities, celebrations and events this summer. I love to take photos and share them and the related stories on my blog.

But it seems I’ve been having too much fun and now I have a big backlog to blog. It’s stressing me out a bit. I have promised friends and family I would post photos and video from various events but it’s quite time consuming because I organize the photos in Webshots, process video and upload to YouTube, and then I write the stories and link to the rest from the blog.

Unfortunately I’m coming up on a stretch of almost a week when I will be away from computer access so I need to get as much done as I can this weekend. I’m posting this as a reminder to myself to focus on the blog entries so I can get as many done as possible and maybe spend a little less time here on 43T where it’s easy to spend all my spare time. (You, all my buddies, are too much fun!) :)

Perhaps I can do one blog entry, then reward myself with some 43T time, and alternate? We’ll see.
