I’m trying to figure out what to do tonight. My original plan was to scrapbook, but I’m not feeling all that great and hence not all that inspired. I could sit on the couch and watch tv, but I doubt there is anything good on. I could read, but I don’t really feel like it. I could work, which I actually kind of feel like doing as the work I have to do is fun, but it doesn’t really need to be done. This gets me back to the scrapbooking. I’ve almost finished Amy’s scrapbook (I’ve done one for each child, documenting their first year); all I need to do is a bit of journaling. I’ve been putting it off because I do it on the computer which means there’s some logistics required in measuring the space I’ve left in the scrapbook, formatting a Word document so that it’s the same size, what I want to write, what font, etc.
I think the reason for me writing this post (other than to check off November 7th as “done”) is to say I’m going to do the journaling for Amy’s scrapbook. There. I said it. Now I have to do it.
UPDATE:
Okay, it took me three hours, but the journaling is done. It’s definitely not my favourite part of scrapbooking, but it does come with a bonus. I get my content from old blog posts, and it’s fun to read back over stuff Greg and I have written. And it makes me thankful that we have both taken the time to chronicle our kids’ lives.
