I am a master multi-tasker. I read while listening to my i-pod while running on the treadmill. (For clarification - -I don't actually read while running -- only when walking during my cool down.) I fold laundry while watching tv. I repost my rental properties on Craig's List on the laptop while paying bills on the other computer. You get the idea. There just isn't enough time to get everything done.
I believe in family history and the importance of documenting the ever-so-exciting events of our daily lives. I keep a journal. It mostly consists of things I did during the day...and despite the fact that most entries go something like this: worked out, laundry, folded clothes, vacuumed, G worked, etc. someday, that information might be of value to someone.
Or maybe not.
Nevertheless, it is what it is and I'll forever be grateful for my father-in-law's example of using a calendar. It's easy to write something every day...but there is limited space so it doesn't become overwhelming.
BUT...I am excited about this new possibility.... www.blurb.com
I got this information from a friend's blog (thanks Laura!) and I am excited to try it out. For those of us (is there anyone besides me out there!?!) who just can't get it together to scrapbook...now you can print your blog into a book format and keep track of your family history that way.
I haven't tried it yet...but I am hopeful. One less thing to cross of my list and I am good to go.

I am so with with you. I am NOT a scrap booker and never will be. That is why I love blogging. It is my scrapbook and journal all in one. I love blurb and plan on using them to compile a hard copy once a year or maybe every other.

How fun! I was just thinking about this the other day. How I could have a hard copy of my blog. Thanks for sharing the info!
My friend told me about that a few months ago and I LOVE the idea. I love to scrapbook but am so behind it is pathetic. So fabulous!
I find comfort in knowing I'm not the only one out there who feels this way. I was even the manager of my mother's scrapbook/stamp store at one point! So I told everyone else how to scrapbook but didn't do it myself. Talk about wannabe!
Jen must have the same friend, because she just told me about this too. I can't wait to try it.
My friend showed me her hard bound book from blurb and it looked great!! I'm not a scrapbooker either and I've felt so guilty about this. That's why I love blogging. It works for me and eases the guilt!
I started my blurb book for 2007 about 10 weeks ago and somehow abandoned a week or so later. So daunting for me to re-format the pictures, try to figure how to get my words all on the page and in the right sized font, etc. It's a brilliant idea and I really want to hear how it goes for you... Maybe I'll get back there one of these days
