Photoless Blogging*

My lack of blogging lately has been more frustrating to me than anyone. It is not for lack of trying or for lack of content. It is because of my ongoing struggle with technology! Some fun things are coming together at the Vandenbergs' lately and I really want to share it with you all but I took nice photos on Joshua's camera and I refuse to go back and use my cellphone just to share that with you. I'm going to look through the camera and my cell phone and see if there are pictures that only made it onto my phone. Then I won't have to feel bad that there are better pictures!

So why is everything so difficult? I don't know. For awhile it was an issue of not having a sufficiently functioning computer that I felt comfortable uploading pictures to. Then I broke my camera. The lens is stuck halfway open so when I turn it on I get a fun lens error screen. So I switched over to using Joshua's camera which was much nicer anyways. I thought I was lucky to have an excuse to use it. However, my computer refuses to recognize his camera. I have no idea why. Actually, most of our electronics are refusing to communicate with either of our computers. For example, the printer does not want to be bothered with having to talk to our computers. Frustratingly, a printer is an extremely useful tool in crafting (hello, tons of cool templates on the blogs I read).

On another note: I have a question to ask those who are reading the blog. Joshua and I intended to share what was going on with us in Houston, and for me that has mostly been crafting. So, I'm wondering if I should separate out the crafts to a separate blog. Is it weird that a blog called "The Yodeling Goat Brewery" has a satin sleep mask on it? Yes, it sort of is. I asked Joshua and he seemed to agree so I created the account "Crafting without supervision" which came to me in a rare moment of creative genius (and the name isn't really that good). It was at that point Joshua asked me what I was doing (4 minutes after I told him what I was doing). I realized that although I think I'm holding a conversation with him while he plays MLB 2K11; it is in fact a one sided conversation. But I'm not going to complain about that. As far as the male gender goes for my generation, plus or minus 10 years, I have it pretty lucky it isn't worse. So, turns out Joshua doesn't like the idea of me moving the blog posts over. I think I just need to do a better job of capturing all aspects of what we do. I like the name though so I'm going to hold onto that blog for awhile. Let me know your thoughts and if no one responds I can safely assume this blog isn't read anyway, so it doesn't matter!

*This picture illustrates two points. One, my camera phone does not take good quality pictures and two, Bernie is showing how bored you would be if all of my blog posts did not have photos.
