So instead of making a New Years resolution (which I will probably not keep anyways...) I have decided to give myself a new goal before the end of the year. (I'm much better under pressure anyways truth be told.) I have noticed a drop in the number of posts year over year. My goal is to post at least the same number of posts for this year as last year. That means that I pretty much have to post something every 2-3 days for me to reach this goal. I have 2 things working against me with this timeframe.
First, we cannot find our camera battery charger. This can actually be a pro and a con. I like to post photos because I feel that they are more interesting. However, it is more time-consuming because I have to download the pictures, choose the good ones to upload to Picasa, put comments on them, and finally post them. Without having to go through this process, I should technically have more time for witty content rather than relying on photos to keep my 2 readers engaged. (Hi Dad!) So if anyone has any recommendations on finding a Canon Elph battery charger or would like to donate their old one to me, please let me know. The last time we saw it was in Hawaii, so I am hoping we did not leave it at the hotel... I have done some research online to purchase a replacement and these things are pricey at $40-50! I might as well buy a new camera at those prices- which may be the route we take because our camera is about 3 years old and I think we could use a shiny, new camera...
Second item that may be an obstacle of my reaching my goal is that we have family coming into town for the holidays starting on the 22nd. I may have to do daily posts before they arrive to make sure that I achieve my goal! Not to mention the normal holiday stuff we do like shopping, annual cookie baking, and did I mention that we have 3 Christmas parties to attend this Saturday? Oh and by the way, it's my firstborn's first Christmas, so are there any special traditions I should try and start to initiate this year so that I can say in future years, "Well, we've been doing that every Christmas since Lukas was born...?"
This post is turning out to be a lot longer than I originally intended it to be. I better save up my words for future posts.

u r too funny. how about taking pix w/ ur phone camera, and uploading it this way...
What model do you have? My SD110 got stolen last year but I still have its battery so if it fits, you can have it.
Christmas tradition at the Schneider's:
A new, special, meaningful ornament to add to the collection each year. Each kid, and then Kaori and I together pick out an ornament that symbolized something significant for each of us that year. We write the year on the ornament, and intend to start documenting exactly why we picked that particular ornament so in the future we can look back and recall life events every year at Christmas time.
Wow- all these comments from this posting? Thanks for all the ideas! Judy, you must have an iPhone because my cell phone and cell phone suck. (It's work issued, so I guess I shouldn't complain since they are paying the bills.) My camera is SD800 I think. I have to go home and check in case anyone has the charger. I have 2 batteries, but no charger! I'll check to see if the SD110 battery will work. Jamie, great idea about the ornaments. We have been purchasing an ornament each year, but not documenting as you have, so I may have to adopt your idea. Any other ideas from others?
