"i'm gonna make wings"

i woke up this morning to a computer that was completely out of memory. and by completely, i mean the little bar showing how much space i had left was all red. i had nothing left. zip. zilch.

i made a quick call to my tech guy who was having coffee right next to me to come and assess the situation and maybe just drive to the apple store with me to get an iPad.

no new iPad later, it took him all of about a nano-second to find the culprit: the girls get a kick out of using our flip video camera and it would seem that storing nearly six hundred videos which varied in length from snippets to multiple documentaries of a behind the scenes look at an american girl doll fashion show was sucking up massive amounts of memory.

i needed to start culling through the videos to see which had to go.

but it's hard just by glancing at the screen shot to know which videos need to be kept & which can get tossed out. i have to look at every one. which is good, cause then i would have missed this one. as you can see in the background of the video, our son is doing a stellar job of babysitting while lulu tries to fly.
