twice tagged

I've been a little distracted around here lately and my blog has been neglected. So since I've been tagged by two lovely ladies I thought I'd accept the challenges.

Carrie K over at My Middle Name is Patience tagged me with the Sixth Picture meme. I'm supposed to go to your sixth picture folder and pick my sixth picture.

I've gotta tell you folks that this was near on impossible! I've deferred my picture organization system to my computer's automatic foldering which has resulted in dozens and possibly hundreds of folders! It seems to be grouping them by date and I'm not about to count them all up. Plus, there are a few folders that I've named and stuffed things into.

And did I mention that I never delete anything? Yeah. And it's been suggested to me around here that I might want to do that, soon, or else a second hard drive will be in order. Um, what can I say? I figured out the hard way that I have to keep pictures at their regular bytes size in order to print them out without looking all pixelated in addition to resizing them smaller for faster loading on the internet. So I have to have at least two copies of everything. I suppose I could delete some of the bad ones and occasionally I actually do but more often I don't.

Perhaps I should look into some resources for picture organization and storage. But not today. Maybe later. Sometime. Soon. Promise! Clearly more photo organization is needed on my end! In the mean time all of these pictures are the sixth pictures in their folders. They're all items available over in my Fluffy Flowers Vintage shop.

My second tag comes from Claire of Absolutely Small. You many remember seeing her infamous Chickenpants creature a while back here on the blog. She's tagged me to write six random things about myself. Hum, another six. My mind has gone blank but I will try to think of something!

Ok, here we go. Uh, I'm thinking. Thinking...

Ok, I can't think of six random things so I'll do six random songs that I can't stop myself from singing along to on the radio. I think I'm pretty much telling my age here with this list but here goes anyway...

Number one has gotta be Raspberry Beret by Prince. This is the only song that I will crank the volume way up on the car radio. And sing along with all the lyrics of course. This is a must!

Next, I'd say Tainted Love by Soft Cell. Yeah, that pretty much sums up my love life so I can really connect with this song.

Ok, then I'd probably say Losing My Religion by R.E.M. This band certainly was a voice of a generation.

Going down the slow and intense road is Never Tear Us Apart by INXS. Too bad about Michael Hutchence.

Finally, I've gotta include Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar. This song was an anthum for a rebellious teenager. Plus, she is one totally groovy tough rock 'n roll cookie!

Hope y'all enjoyed these six random things with a gotta sing along when it comes on the radio twist. If you want to read more random things you can read my literary twist and my teen years random things.

Have a great weekend!

Did you raid my i-pod?

Love the twist you put on this! I had the hardest time thinking up six random things...so vague!
And I hear ya about the photos...after 19,500 (in iPhoto alone), I filled up my computer, and now have a second hard drive. Everything's hunky dory now! (And they had them on sale at Costco!)

I love all those songs. The memories that those tunes bring back...

[Carrie K]

Great pix! Thanks for playing. I didn't know you had a vintage shop too. Great songs. Why is it I can think of all the words to those songs off the top of my head but can't remember...well, never mind. ;)
