Hello?

Aside from being one of my favorite Lionel Richie songs ever.....

Hello?

Hello?  *tap tap tap* Is this thing on?  Starting to feel like no one reads this blasted thing.  Of course, I'm only partly doing it for you (whoever you are) and I'm partly doing it for me.  I'm not a scrap-booker.  I'm not a journal-er, and I'm barely a blogger.  But, a blogger I am, and I guess that's better than nothing. It's nice to look back at the blog and see pictures and stories, so I guess even if no one is reading, that is why I'm doing it.

The strangest thing happened today.  I was trying to make a new header- which took forever because I forgot how to do it with Picasa.  Then after finally doing it, I tried to upload it, but it was either WAY too big, or way too small.  When I'd click the "Shrink to fit" option it would make it too small and all the way to the left.  So I had to go back to my old headers and find out what size it needed to be- then when I tried to upload the header as the correct size- GUESS WHAT??

I have reached my 1G free upload limit on Picasa Web Albums......which (I had no idea) is where your pictures are stored when you upload them to your blog.  I guess it's not that bad that it took me a few years to reach 1G of uploaded stuff.  Some of it is wasted memory because I had to upload the stupid header multiple times at different sizes before finding the right one because there is no "preview" choice for headers.

Which means........I have to pay for more storage.  Or I can't upload any more photos or videos.   WHAT?!  That's right.....I can have 20G more storage for $5.00.  So, I did it.  I paid $5.00 and uploaded my new (correctly sized) header.  You know what though- now that I stop and think about it, I think it said $5.00/year.  WHOA, I better go back and check.  I mean, it's not a lot, but that will add up over time, and what if I shut down the blog and stop paying?  Will the entire thing just disappear!?  ACK!

You're welcome.  Or, I'm welcome.  Sigh.
