I'm busy tending to my files. Organizing, preparing for back up, moving from laptop and thumb drives to netbook and planning a back up procedure that will be easily committed to. Besides the all important file back up my goal is to get my netbook untethered from the extra drives containing my old files. Sure I could have just copied them all over as is but I don't want to just move the mess. I want to create an organized filing system from the get go this time so that the back up process won't be so intimidating that I can't manage to do it but once in six months.

Much of my computer time is being used for this until it is accomplished. And I don't have unlimited computer time. I have approximately one more week here at my Mom's and still have so much I need to do here:

• The family photo scanning project.
• Finishing a couple library books I can't get my hands on back at home.
• Sorting and photographing my Mom's vintage button collection for the purpose of several projects I have in mind.
• Visiting siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
• Getting my Mom or sister's help on a variety of projects for which they have special knowledge, skills or contacts.
• Then packing and traveling

So pardon me if my posts look a bit lazy for the next couple of weeks. You know, heavy use of LOLs, YouTubes, quotes, pictures of odd or inspiring (to me) things and such with little to no freshly composed text. Maybe some pictures of 30, 50 or 100 year old buttons?
