It finally happened...

I tried to upload Maui Day 5 when it happened.

I was taken aback and just sat there in silence, staring at my computer.

I looked at my dog, but she didn't understand it either.

I got THE message.

It was written in green and in very small font.

It told me what I never wanted to hear. (being overdramatic)

I ran out of storage on my blog.

What do I do? Remove old thoughts and rantings?

*gasp* I could NEVER.

Start a new blog?

But I didn't even have a name or a concept or or or even a LAYOUT.

I had to buy more! *said in frantic tone*

Five dollars later and here I am.

If anyone says I don't take too many photos and/or yammer on too much, they're 100% lying and now I know that...

*sigh* haha...

Granted, I'm going on 4 years in May 2011 with this blog.. (FOUR YEARS.of my life. in a blog. BANANAS.) Some of my blogs are so old that I feel guilty even HAVING them anymore. I mean.. I have no idea what I was thinking or feeling back then, let alone blogging. I just ignore their existence. I don't remove them, but I don't read them either... haha.. *shrugs* Well, I might have removed SOME of them...

*slapping/wiping hands as if removing dirt* Done with that....and...

Moving on... :)

Shann said...

I didn't even know that was possible???? I love the picture overload! I guess it's worth the 5 bucks because blogging is awesome.... especially yours. :)

Claire Kiefer said...

Wow, I gotta say, 4 years is a LONG time! No wonder you're out of storage space! My blog is only just approaching its one year mark . . . four is pretty impressive. :)

Jessica @ Wanting Adventure said...

Wow, you ran out of space? I've heard of it happening to other people, but to someone I know? I'm just shocked. But at least it only cost $5 to remedy the situation!

Mrs. H said...

I saw the title of your blog and I thought you were going to say you were engaged!!! No storage on your computer and being engaged is to totally different things! haha - Glad you purchased the extra space...your blog is fabulous!

Christine said...

I got the same awful message not too long ago! I just deleted some pics out of my picasa and it's been fine since? btw - Just found your blog and love it! I'm a fellow Tulsan (but forced to live in okc while my husband is in dental school) Can't wait to move back!

Leslie @ A Blonde Ambition said...

Oh no! The very thought of that happening sends cold chills down my spine...Glad you were able to purchase more though! Whew!

Marian said...

Um, I had no idea you could run out of space. GASP!!

Lauryl Lane said...

turn your old blogs into blurb books. that way you can remove them from the internets but keep them as "diaries" of your past. ;-)

$5 well spent!! Ha!

You can run out of memory!?!?!?!? EEK!!!

I can't believe you have been blogging for 4 years! That's so cool!!! What great memories you will have someday!!!

TracyZLesh @ Then I Got To Thinking said...

Oh my goodness, that is actually kind of exciting... 4 YEARS! Even though it does stink to pay the 5 bucks - I guess blogger has to make its money somehow. sigh. I am so glad you blog (& me) ;)

I keep seeing a lot of people with this same type of post - but since I am only going on about 2 years - I figure I still have some time :)

Sarah @ Preaching In Pumps said...

Girl, the SAME THING happened to me! I think part of the problem is that my camera takes high res photos. When I got that little message Bruce said I looked like I was going to cry.
