If you would like to link to us....

If you would like to link to us go right ahead, I do ask though that if you know us in real life that you use my kids blog names if you refer to them. I don't use them in my blog or the title for safety purposes. Thanks so much!

Scanning, Scanning, and .... what the...


Ok, so today I finally decided that I need to scan all of my old school film pictures onto my computer then after that onto an actual CD for safe storage. I have boxes of these pictures...
Ew. Anyhow, I finally decided it was time, since I'm trying to avoid other huge projects right now. You know, like de-boxing the garage so that we might actually fit a vehicle in there. I mean WHERE DID WE GET ALL THIS CRAP? Anyhow, as a way of procrastinating I decided to take care of the old pictures... starting with the ones from the 9th grade. Ugh.

I know I am a bit behind, but honestly we have never owned a scanner till recently. My parents took pity on me a few months ago, right before their trip to AZ and gave me there old one... Actually, I think that may have been more for my dad's benefit than mine. Kinda hard to scan things in from the mail and send them to AZ when you don't own a scanner, eh? :)

Anyhow, today I've been scanning photos, while going through last years filing.....

Wait. WAIT! DON'T JUDGE ME!!! I AM NOT A PRODUCTIVE PERSON. :P On the rare occasion that I do get an inkling to do stuff, gosh darnit I'd better do it! Cause it ain't happenin' again for another millennia honey.

Ok, back to train of thought....

As I'm going about minding my own beeswax, and the kids are arguing with each other in the background about who said what wrong.... I hear this noise coming from the scanner.

BWMWAWAWmmmmmmmwwwwwww ah ah ah ah

Holy mackerel is that thing going to EAT my pictures?

Nope turns out it's only a noise, no harm done to the pictures. Even the ones on the computer turned out good.

So other than that noise all is good.

Though Jer does insist that it sounds like computer constipation. niiiiiice honey.....

I love your little stories. Seriously. I love reading your blog. Scanner constipation - sweet. I need to do that very thing myself. And file stuff, as well.

One of these days, I'll get to scanning my old stuff. Hopefully before a fire or something. Sometimes my scanner has to think REALLY hard before actually scanning something, and other times it just does it in a heartbeat. Wonder why.
