Motivation.......or not (in other words....HELP!)

This blog has a hollow sort of echo about it these days, yes? Sometimes I feel like peeking in and calling out, "HELLO?" and when I think of the tiny little "hello...hello...hello...."'s that would be coming back at me, I refrain. It's too sad and depressing.

Okay...so I'm not sad or depressed about the state of my blog, I'm just honestly sort of stuck. I've been blogging for almost four years now....and I've hit a wall. While it has usually been pretty easy for me, suddenly I find myself not motivated at all.

To be honest...I'm not really sure what I'm doing with all my time these days. I don't really feel like I'm too busy to blog, but I can't seem to find the time. If I think REALLY hard about it, I realize that the major issue is my pictures. I haven't been editing pictures in a timely fashion, and if I don't have pictures to post....I don't tend to blog.

In fact...I almost didn't sit down to write this fascinating little gem because I don't have single recent picture edited to share. When did I become so dependant on pictures to tell a story? I used to write.....write about stuff important to me. I want to do that again...but haven't found sufficient motivation.

Can you help me....what would you like to hear about? It would make my day if the 5 people who still read my blog......Christina, Autumn, Gayle...okay the three people who still read my blog...(just kidding)....okay where was I? oh Yes....if anyone out there could think of something they would like to ask me....or something they would like to me blog about....or something they'd like to just make up random stuff about, like I know what I'm talking about....please....leave me a comment.

Okay....can you do that? All righty then. I'm gonna do ice the finger that types the "." because I just over worked it a bit. :)

My week 12

The first shot was taken on December 19th........love the pretty heart bokeh!

The second shot was taken on December 20th when I was capturing even more shots for a local physical therapy office.

The third shot was taken on December 21st while I was on an extremely stormy drive along the coast. I was bummed to have such ugly weather that day, but I have to admit that I think the ocean is beautiful no matter what the weather.

The fourth shot was taken on December 22nd at my neighbor's house, during our gingerbread house making party. BEST DAY EVER!

The fifth shot was taken on December 23rd. I had so much to get done before Christmas, and Sugar spent the day playing by herself. She isn't a fan, but did a good job keeping out of my hair.

The sixth shot was taken on December 24th. Christmas Eve......leaving out the cookies for Santa.

The seventh shot was taken on December 25th. I'm not sure if you can tell or not...but was pretty excited about opening presents. ♥

Whew...okay...we are all caught up on this project. :) Yea me!

My Week 11

Oh my heavens...how did I get so far behind on this project? Here it is nearly the 1st of January, and I haven't even posted about so many wonderful things we've done in December.

The first shot was taken on December 12th, while Sugar Bear was decorating the tree in her room. This year we slowly added ornaments as we gathered them for a box here....or a box there. This one is a new one from her Grandma. What a darling little angel.

The second shot was taken on December 13th. This week is observation week at the Dance School. What a treat to be able to watch Sugar Bear do her thang, in class. Her bridge is getting better and better. ♥

The third shot was taken on December 14th. The Hubby was a little bored waiting for the Pacific Coast crab season to start, so he busied himself setting up setting up A LOT of Christmas lights around our yard. It really made coming home from a long day at work more fun.

The fourth shot was taken on December 15th. This picture just cracks me up. Sugar is doing a pop-up with her dance teacher. The look on her face is just priceless. :)

The fifth shot was taken on December 16th. Oooooo lunch out with friends. sigh....good stuff.

The sixth shot was taken on December 17th at Sugar Bear's school Christmas Party. It was such fun, and I'm so glad I have a job that is flexible enough to allow me the time to be a part of it.

The seventh shot was taken on December 18th at my niece's 6th birthday party. Woo Hoo....can you say, "POOL PARTY!" good times!
