stickin it to the man

So I'm thinking that this whole, "you're out of image space, please upgrade" is a bit odd.  I received this same notice 3 months ago, and then it went away and I never upgraded. Then I got it again a week ago and I ignored it, tried to post a pic a different day and didn't have a problem that time.  Now it's back, and apparently, most of my blogging friends have all also conveniently run out of storage at the exact same time as me. Does that seem like more than a coincidence to you? It does to me. The whole thing just seems shady. How did everyone run out of space at once, and how come I'm only out of space sometimes, and other times have no problem adding images?

Well listen up, I'm not paying $2.50 a month to blog. At least not without giving a few free options a go, first.  Yep. I am just that cheap, and just that suspicious. And how long after I upgrade before I'm "out of space", again?  What is this, a drug deal?  "The first hit's free, you know where to find me when you run out and need more?" No way man, I'm only here for the free samples.

Instead, I'm going to go back and delete some old video footage or something that is taking up a bunch of space, so I can finish up 2012 on this blog, and THEN, I'm starting a new blog.

I also still haven't found our camera cord and have pictures from before halloween to catch up on  I did buckle down recently and work on the blog books and did enough editing to order the 2009 book, and I'm sloooowly working through 2010.  I can't wait to be fully caught up and then I'll only have to print a book once a year. I really like Blurb. The program runs very slowly on our old laptop (can't get it to work at all on the mac), but the books are so much cheaper than any other program I've looked at and they send me discount codes all the time to make them even cheaper.  The books are well made and the children just LOVE flipping through the blog books and hearing stories about funny things they did when they were "little".

In summation: Right now, Blog books = awesome. Blogger = not awesome.

I'll post the blog address and send out invites for the new site as soon as I get it together enough to set one up. So stay tuned and let me know if you want an invite, cuz the new blog is where it's at. Or will be at, anyway.  Also, to the three of you who still read this blog, anyone have a title for me for the new one?

We caved and paid the 2.50 because I was getting so far behind, especially after our trip and all. We just started working on a blog book, but it has been running slow for us too. Miss ya!

Good idea. I hate that I am so lazy.

As far as titles go, the title of your post is looking pretty good right now. :)

You'll need a new blogger account, too. The space is for your entire account, not just each blog. I think it's shady, too, but I haven't received a notice about my account being full. I've got 4 blogs under one account, too. Just goes to prove that nothing in life is free.

I hope I get an invite to the new blog. . . and I'd love a coupon code for Blurb. I need to create a blog book for 2012.
