I may have found a solution!
It just takes too dang long to upload a picture on this blogsite - and you can only upload 4 at a time. This is part of the reason I stopped blogging, especially because so much of what I want to share is photography.
I just downloaded picasa 3, google's answer to photoorganizing on the web and, although I haven't had time to really check it out yet, so far - it seems like it's the solution to my blogging answers. It is integrated with this blogsite and should allow me to seamlessly store, upload, and share all of our pictures through the blog. I'm getting excited!! I'll check it out a little more this afternoon, after I've gotten back from my 3 meetings and gone to the gym. :)

I accept it...not a good blogger
Ok guys, I'm tired of making up excuses for myself. I just have to accept that although I TRULY wish I was one of those dedicated bloggers that habitually posts every day, week, month – heck, I’d even take it if I could commit to posting quarterly – with such passion and enthusiasm over every significant, and oftentimes not-so-significant, thing / thought, etc. that happens in their lives - I am just not that person. I simply don’t know how they do it! Now, don’t get me wrong, I really do wish I was “that person” and I carry around a great deal of guilt for not being “that person”.
I have many friends that are “that person” and I am so jealous. They print out their blogs and make scrapbooks from their posts, along with pictures and mementos, to one day pass down to their children who will pass them on to their children, etc. Think of the guilt that I carry knowing that my little V won’t have one of those fancy books! How will she know how much I have cherished every moment of watching her grow up over these past 14 months? How I’ve enjoyed watching her little personality develop – and the crazy looks she can give that just make you laugh out loud – and how much I treasured watching her take those first steps of independence? Is it all lost? You see I have these thoughts daily, about jotting something down or I’ll forget it and it will be lost forever, and how there will be no record for my Sweet Baby V. Will she think I didn’t care enough about her memories as those scrap-booking mom’s cared for their childrens’? I know that’s not true, but it’s still terrible…the guilt that I feel every time someone asks when the blog is going to be updated again. I just wish I had more time and I wish I knew how these other mothers come up with the time they have – please for Pete’s sake – SHARE YOUR SECRETS!
So…to my resolve, I have to acknowledge my shortcomings and just do the best I can with the time that I have. I may complain of this shortage of time, but what I do have that captures those irreplaceable moments, that I feared would be forgotten and lost because I didn’t blog about them, very effectively and efficiently is an awesome camera and now, thanks to my loving husband’s Valentine’s gift, a terabyte of space on which to store Virginia’s photojournalism documentary. I may not write daily, but I have over 50 gigs of photos covering just about every day of her life thus far. I just haven’t been so great about posting them. So…once I can figure out how to post or link a slew of pictures on here, I'll be posting a sample of a typical day of me following my little V around with the camera. I hope you enjoy! :)
