That's how I feel right now: Lost in Space. I'm attempting to be an understanding mom to a teenage son who is filled with angst and misery (I'm failing miserably). I'm working on a couple of tight deadlines (fun projects). And I'm heading out to Dallas for a meeting with Luxe Designs this afternoon (exciting things are happening). Needless to say, my life has not been lacking excitement.
But in spite of the busy pace I've been trying to keep up with, I had to take the time to post this comic strip because I saw it shortly after I realized that I had lost some pictures, and it pretty much summed up the experience. And yes, I said, "lost some pictures." Unfortunately, I needed those pictures for an assignment I was working on. The pictures were the final part of the project. The project requirements were not fulfilled without the pictures, and the mailing deadline was the day I discovered that the photos were literally lost in space somewhere on my computer, and on back-up disks, and in 4x6 prints. Poof. Gone. Where'd they go?
So please tell me that I am not the only one who feels this way. Seriously, things were much easier when I used film and negatives, combined with an old fashion alphabetical filing system that sat on a shelf.
I have often had similar thoughts. I came up with a cataloging system that *seemed* like a great idea, but it takes a long time to do, and I am waaaaay behind. And in the almost two years that I've had my digital camera (20D), I have printed very few pictures.

ROFL .. . you should see the huge amount of photos that showed up on my front porch today (760!) because I hadn't printed many out since I went digital. I CRAVE the paper, kwim? I've got another set even larger than that being ordered today. EEK!
Hoping your trip here is great . . . sorry it's such a quick one.
I've been thinking about you . . .sending hugs.

Having almost lost a whole half-year's worth of pictures...I SOOOOO relate to this! At least when there was one picture in the attic, you knew for SURE it wouldn't get lost. Thanks for sharing this comic strip, too funny!

I do love being able to take a bunch of pictures and then pick the right ones with digital(although I don't always have the time to pick the right ones...haha). I can definitely relate to this though!
