Top Ten Excuses for not blogging:

Com'mon you know you've seen ALL of these on at least one of your friends blog:

10. Saying: I have been busy
Meaning: I am just so busy with a productive and exciting life that I don't have time to blog about it . . . oh, you do? Well, I guess your life must be empty of fun and exciting things

9. My life is boring and I have nothing exciting to say.

8. My camera broke
7. We bought a new camera, but I can't figure out how to upload

6. My internet is being weird (Why do people always say it like the internet is alive or something?)

5. I've been living in Africa with very litte internet access (see Chelsea and Mike's blog if you don't believe this one)

4. I've been chasing kids around
3. The unspoken, but known excuse: "Life is really difficult right now and I don't have the energy to try and make it sound all perfect like the movies so I'd rather not try."

2. I'm lazy (like it is a job that you have to blog?)

and my #1 excuse that you may not have seen before, but is the reason it has been a month without blogging for me . . .
My blog is my way of creatively displaying the events and feeling of my life. I have struggled for a month trying (and failing) to think of a "fun" way to post about the exciting (and not so exciting) events of the holidays to captivate and inspire my loving readers . . .

I want to keep my readers (all 3 of them- thanks Alissa, Sandra and Mom) entertained so they continue to read about my life and

I am worried if I post big long paragraphs they will get bored a stop reading

so if I keep hitting enter it looks less daunting to read, so people will still read it
and then they
will
be
entertained . . .
right?
Lame excuse huh?

So I will include a picture of a handsome scantily clad male for your entertainment (doesn't he look like he is lounging in a hot tub? so cute!)


I should probably just skip the holidays since everyone's blog followers are overloaded with Christmas events and you have probably stopped reading them by now so I don't have you undivided attention anyway (am I vain or what?)

Jamie, you are so funny! :) And clever. I regularly check your blog and am always happy to see new info (and I've never been bored, yet). Thanks for the adorable shot of your "scantily clad man." He's too cute for words. We miss you guys. Love you!

I've used excuse #9, #8, and #1 before and I've only been blogging for a year! And hello, is Jackson ever NOT all happy and smiley?! What a cute kid!

Hot Tub? To be honest it looked like a toilet at first glance... it's the perfect shape and everything! So relieved. Ok now it looks cute. :)
