Happy Halloween and Picture Mayhem...

Well bloggers I want to wish you a very late Happy Halloween. I hope you had fun with whatever halloween "things" you took part in. We (DH and myself) did not do anything this year...no pumpkin carving, nothing. Kind of sad, but it is what it is. We live in an apartment so we don't get any kids. A house a block away from us was either having one awesome party or their house was on fire. No sirens yet, but lots of smoke! I can tell you what I am doing tomorrow. Ima gonna hit up the grocery store and stock up on some ridiculously reduced candy and chocolate and pig out. I'm pretty darn excited.

Now on for the second bit of my post..."Picture Mayhem". I haven't been blogging much lately because every time I try to upload pictures my internet browser/iphoto freezes. Turns out that I may have a few too many (like 10,000) photos in iphoto alone. Needless to say I have started on the daunting task of going through EVERY.SINGLE.PHOTO, organizing them into events (or folders for you none mac folk) and deleting poor quality or just not worth saving photos. I only got through a few hundred photos in the THREE HOURS I've sat in front of the computer, but it's been worth it. I've deleted a bunch and I've gotten inspired. I am sure this is going to be a VERY LONG process so I am going to make this my November project. I can stop and craft along the way so long as it's done before December 1, hah, just in time for me to take a thousand more photos!!!

Hope you all have a fabulous night!!!

*** A quick edit ***
10, 000 photos does not seem like a lot but thats only 2.5 years worth of pictures. I have a box (13*13) full of photos (before digital), CD's and memory cards full of photos not on this computer. I have a problem of not being able to put down a camera. Someone (DH) might have to call an intervention!!! Oh and we don't have any children yet, so what in the world am I taking photos of???!!! Seriously!
