I'm heading out...

...to Mendocino for Christmas! Yay! Looking forward to cooler temps, possible inclement weather, an excuse to use the woodstove and hot tub (and jetted bathtub), fabulous photo treks, time scheduled for doing puzzles and playing board games, time to read and write, eating too many homemade snacks, and a pressure-free Christmas. I wish at least some of those things to each of you, too! Pix when I return.

Someone on the net is talking about doing a Project 52 -- posting on your blog at least once a week. I think maybe I can handle that commitment. (A 365 just seems out of the question right now.) I actually miss writing and reading blogs. It's good that I miss it.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I'm Stupid

All this month, I've been hyperventilating about my attempt at photo365, not because taking at least one picture a day has been difficult, but because it appeared that my blogger/picasa file was filling up too quickly and that I would run out of space before the month ended. So I've been posting very small pictures, which, in my opinion, drains the photos of most of their punch.

Yesterday I finally read a little more carefully. Indeed, the number I was interpreting as the percentage of alotted space used was actually the MB used and not the percentage. So when it said "You've used 85MB," that's actually only 7% and not 85%! D'oh!

For god's sake, I'm an English teacher, and I'm always telling my students to read more carefully! What chance do they have, if I, their teacher, can't follow her own advice? Pathetic! But now...oh, now...I'm going big every time! :-)
