When you're broke, this is what you have to do for fun
My life is so uninteresting to outsiders that I've really had nothing to share lately. The good news is, however, that I'm keeping myself amused.
Two things have been the center of my attention for the last few days. The first is my scanner. My parents gave it to me for my birthday to encourage my idea to make more books like our wedding album, possibly for some sort of minimal profit. At our last house, I didn't have anywhere to set it up, so I'm just now getting to play with it. This has led me to me scanning my ENTIRE photo collection onto our gorgeous new Toshiba (newly named Janine Kishi, because, if I recall correctly, she was very good with computers). It has plenty of room for moderate quality scans of all 3000 or so of my photos. I've been enjoying reliving my entire life. You had all better be prepared for some upcoming photo tours of my childhood.
Also, last night I took Lauren through all 427 of my Herzl Camp photos, pointing out all my crushes along the way. Her response was that I totally have such a type, and how did I end up with her anyway?
The other thing that's been at the center of my attention is facebook. It's a really stupid obsession, but if you had a freakish fear of losing touch with people you might not even have known that well like I do, you'd understand. Unfortunately, it was created a few years too late for people my age, so I have trouble finding anyone I know. Usually the people I find on there are either little siblings of high school friends or kids I babysat. I've tried to avoid adding those people, although I did add Pam's sister, Cindy. So if you're on facebook, take pity on me and let me know.
That's it. That's my whole life lately. Two free obsessions that take up a lot of my time and no additional money. Isn't my life fascinating?
