I have 2,431 pictures on my iPhone and I've only had it since this summer. I receive approximately 3 pop up alerts every day that my phone has not been backed up to the iCloud in 134 days (and counting). I'm kind of a digital mess. Today, I decided to make a cursory glance to see A) what was taking up so much space and B) what I could delete, if anything. Notice that backing up my phone wasn't the go-to option here, making the alert go away was. Baby steps. What I found on my camera roll... was not what I had hoped. Rather, it was a running commentary on randomness, pop culture, and my appetite. Below are some pictures that didn't make the cut, for obvious reasons. Some are pictures I took, others are screen captures. Most of them were texted and shared to family members or friends. Lucky them. The story you are about to be told is not a flattering one, but it is a story nonetheless. On with the show! This picture of my Meijer shopping cart at Halloween (yes, I know it's March). If you think this is for trick-or-treaters, well, sure, let's go with that. These cupcake squeezie thingies I need to buy. Imagine the possibilities here. This Romeo statue I put a Santa hat on at my Uncle's house when visiting at Christmas. This important info-graphic, sent as an explanation as to why I was calling dibs on the queen size bed at the lake house this year. This picture of Bill Murray throwing a golf club, so I can respond to text messages appropriately. Such a masterpiece just screams "I'm over it." I have no idea what this is a picture of. This inexplicable upside down Christmas tree. in-ex-plicable. This guy knocking out my gyros platter. At the time, it felt important to group text this to my entire family because they weren't there and I wanted them to be jealous. That'll teach you to go to Five Guys without me! This "Jesus was a Feminist" pin that I bought on Etsy. These cupcake truffles that I offered to buy everyone in my family, but only if they texted me back before I left Aldi. I had things to do that day, ok? This times 462.

I'll have to introduce you to my daughter. She has the same picture, about 549 times. Beating you out by a bit. (I'll let the math coach figure out the difference!)

Love all of this. But I especially love the Bill Murray one. I love any picture that let's me respond to something with a good ole "To heck with this. I'm done." (the g rated version of my response anyway ;) )
