A few more goals completed

Goal # 6 -  Polish Nails 2 times a month for 6 months and

Gaol # 12 - Get a manicure

I didn't take pictures of the 6 months of polishing my nails.  On the 10th of July I took grandma to Evans beauty college to get her pedicure and I did a manicure while she got the pedicure.  I will get pedicures from now on because they do the manicures on one end of the building and the pedicures on the other end, therefore we weren't together. I have to say I did not get a very good job done.I guess that is what you get when you got to the beauty college instead of a salon.  I have mom go to the school because they are much more gentle with her than the salon was.
I need lotion bad!!!!

Goal # 62 - Watch movies we bought with Lorin

We had a video rental  place in Rexburg that went out of business and they were selling the used videos and games.  Out of curiousity we went in and were able to find numerous shows that sounded interesting. They were mostly $1:00 & $2:00 each.   After watching them we decided there were some much more interesting than others. Here's a list in order of interest, in my opinion.
The Brotherhood, My Sister's Keeper, Flight of the Intruder, The Cincinnati Kid, The Family Man, Four Christmases, Where Eagles Dare, American Outlaws, Bad Company, The Box, Cold Sweat, Mazes & Monsters.
It took a while to watch them and we were very entertained-a little popcorn, soda, comfy couch, and each othere's company.  Pretty fun time.

Goal # 32 - Organize Memory Manager

This took a long time.  I had scanned all my pictures into Memory Manager on the computer, and put them in seperate folders which took me many months and then I enhanced the old ones to make them look better.  My computer started running very slowly so I thought it had too many pictures on it, so I downloaded it all onto a exterior hard drive and then deleted it out of my computer along with the program.  BAD MISTAKE!!!!!  I lost all the pictures I had entered in to the program.  They wouldn't work for some reason.  Well I had to re-download the program, make new folders for the different pictures, scan all the pictures back in (I scanned them in 3-8 pictures at a time, so I had to make 2-7 copies of each scan to have enough copies to seperate them all), and enhance them all again.  This too took many months of almost daily working on them.
This time I was a little smarter and burned them onto DVD's.  There is a Fowler Vault, Hales Vault, and a Gutke Vault. They will stay on my computer in Memory Manager having learned that the pictures wasn't the cause of the slowness anyway.  Live and Learn.
