F is for failures - from coming precariously close to my first "F" in Biology my sophomore year in college or several relationships...
F is for food - which I could go on and on about....
F is for fun - where I could talk about any number of recent activities....
There are many directions I could have gone with this post and I just can't make a decision. So instead, I'm going with:
F is for freak out.I choose freak out because my mom got me thinking - she said something like, "wouldn't you be sad if something happened to your blog and you couldn't access it anymore?" I know that sounds like my mom lives in some sort of bubble and just discovered the internet or something, but my oldest brother is a crazy computer genius and we hear the way he talks. If the wrong kind of crazy computer genius decided to totally hack into something, Blogger really could be gone. While I use my blog as a brainless outlet, I also use it to document my life. I would love to scrapbook, but typing a few sentences and uploading a couple pictures goes a whole lot faster than meticulously cutting out borders and letters and 3-D shapes. So seriously - I want to keep my blog. I think it would be neat for my kids to read it when they were teenagers and thought I was just a boring stick-in-the-mud that never had any fun. Or if I don't have kids, I can look back on it myself when I am old and remember all of the life I was fortunate enough to experience.
My mom also said, "Maybe you can print your blog into a book or something." Can you do that? Call me paranoid if you wish. If I can, maybe I'll make a book every 5 years and keep them on the coffee table. I'll even sign a copy for you when Blogger gets hacked and you lose all your posts because I'm nice like that.

I have had the same freak out and thought about the same solution. Maybe snapfish or something is the solution? They print photo albums all the time. Could they add a few paragraphs of text to the page?
Just found you through cheeseboy and like your blog so much I'm your newest follower :)
Every once in a while, when I log on to blogger, I see an ad about "turning your blog into a book." I'll *try* to pay closer attention next time (although right now, my blogger pages are stuck in Japanese, so not sure...) and get the info for you! My Mom has told me the same thing, too. She wants a book.
As for Mom maybe sounding like she might live "in a bubble," may I remind your readers that our home was among the first to go online... back in 1995, when Netscape Navigator was the best browser around!
