Scan old photos
We have a ton of old photos. I want to scan and archive them. I have an old flat-bed scanner in good working order. I had been thinking about upgrading to a higher resolution one, but it is not essential. I just need to pick up and do it.

Finish Watchmen
I usually don't put any time constraint on a book. But I do need to finish this one and return it ASAP.
Layouts revisited
I need to work on macchiato ink and macchiato crafts. They need to have nicer layouts and have full features for each:
1) pick theme (completed)
2) profile picture (completed)
3) write blurb
4) add notes
5) add comments
6) add tags

Canvas photo collage
I want to make some art piece with my photos that can be hung on the wall. A photo collage on canvas sounds like a great idea. I might paint the canvas first, depending on how I feel. A ton of photos, and maybe some ribbons and such to decorate.
**update 4/5/2009**
Canvas painted. It looks more like it's own work of art then anything else. Trying to figure out if I really want to put pictures on top of it or make it into a ribbon board to slip pictures in it. I already have wire frame a picture holder in a bout the same size.
**update 4/8/2009**
Still have another canvas. Got more acrylic paint yesterday. Looking at a black and green sort of background. That should be more suited for putting photos on it. Another idea. Put pictures on it, and paint the borders onto the painting. Colored background, paste picture, paint to blend.
**update 4/24/2009**
Going to paint the second canvas darker. Green and black. Will need to start picking out pictures to print and paste on the two canvas. Might have to wait until after sorting scrap book material. Many of the items will fit on canvas to make into three dimensional piece.
**update 4/28/2009**
I am much happier with the second painting. I will leave this as a living project. Print and stick pictures on it as I go. Complete!

End of March State of Things
I didn't get many items completed. That is expected because it was only half a month and I had to set up some of the on going projects as well. I personally think that is pretty impressive. I need to figure out a few more things to do considering it is a new month already. I prefer to have at least 10 things on the list to tackle.
Some of the on-going items have been working out very well. It seems I am making progress with my weight. I lost about a pound so far without very intensive or consistent exercising. I am certainly working on that. This week I started going to the gym at 6 in the morning for yoga and spin. It helps with my over all energy level. I'm happy about that. I only ran once this week. I need to make it so I can run a few more times every week. I am training for a half-marathon after all. I am currently reading a book about training for regular people, it has been helpful.
My photo blog is now in the category of awesomeness. I just hope it will get a larger following in the near future. I am lagging behind on a few photo projects on macchiato daily. I just really need to remember to work on them.
I'm fairly happy with what I have been able to accomplish so far.

List all of current books on Reading Social
I recently cleaned up my bookshelf and left the ones that I will most likely read. The next logical step is to list them on Reading Social and Library Thing.
**update 4/5/2009**
Listed everything I want to list from my bookshelf on Reading Social so people can look and compare with my library. Decided not to put more on Library Thing for the time being. I want to reserve that as for the books I have already read and can rate and review. I'll list on there as I finish each book.

Upload all current photos, organize, and queue up on tumblr
I am so behind. I took a bunch of photos yesterday that are post-worthy as well. Need to find some time this weekend to work on it.
Focused catch-up to on-going project.
**updated 4/25/2009**
Holy hell that took me a while. I have to remember there is a daily limit to how many photos I can upload on the site. I'm guessing it is about 70. Even with that it took me three days to queue up all the ones I wanted to for the time being.
