Thursday Thirteen 3.31.11

I can't remember the last time I did a Thursday Thirteen post. I think maybe Augustish. That's based on my tags. AUGUST? WTF It's April. Well, it will be tomorrow. That's 8 months. That's a disgrace is what it is.

I was going through my old posts to see what I used to post about on Thursdays. I had long forgotten my Thursday Thirteen posts. I also came across my Before & After link-ups I used to participate it. I thought it would be fun to jump back into, so I searched for a recent pic to edit.

There aren't any. I haven't uploaded pics since November or so. No pics of 2011 what-so-ever. Have I really been THAT far out of the loop? How did that happen? Seriously. Thanksgiving pics? Christmas pics? Snow pics? All on my card. Leah's potty training pics? Card. Other randomness from the past 6 months? ON THE CARD. Sitting lonely, and abandoned, and unloved.

To make myself feel better I'm going to force 13 excuses reasons out of me on why I've been failing at life. Or at least blogging and photo's.

1. I spent 12 weeks in the throws of morning sickness. Throwing up everything that passed my mouth, starving away 30lbs.

I think that's a very good reason. I wouldn't want to get vomit on my keyboard after all.

2. Starving away 30 lb's makes you lightheaded, and dizzy, and unable to lead a normal life.

Again, totally excusable. There were days I could barely hold my head up. I wasn't going to waste the time I was able to do so, so stare at a screen.

3. I have spent the last 26 weeks exhausted. Tired doesn't cut it. I'm EXHAUSTED.

Do you know how much energy it takes to find your camera, eject the card and plug it into your laptop, or find the cord that goes with your camera and plug THAT into your laptop? I had better things to waste that energy on. Like breathing.

4. Due to the 3 reasons above I haven't been taking pictures the way I once was.

There's not much need to upload pictures when you're not taking many.

5. My P&S card holds roughly 1500 pictures.

Why would I bother uploading pictures if my card isn't full? That's just dumb.

6. I have a camera phone.

Going through the trouble of uploading camera pics just doesn't seem worth it when you can easily snap pics with your phone. Bam instant gratification. Bam instant posting to facebook.

7. I've neglected everything else, it wouldn't be fair to give my blog and photographs the attention that my family wasn't getting.

That's pretty self explanatory.

8. No one else seems to blog anymore.

So why should I? Ok, kidding. But it's hard to lose people I once drew inspiration from.

9. I haven't done anything worth taking pictures of. Nor blogging about.

Nothing exciting has happened, no newness, just same old. {Other than holidays birthdays or milestones.} Oh wait...

10. I'm addicted to reading more than ever.

Reading books is something I can do LAYING DOWN! That's going to automatically take precedence over something that I have to SIT up to do.

11. It's not like anyone else cares...

It's easier to do things when you're motivated to please others.

12. Making lists of 13 things is SO much harder than it seems. Really.

13. Somewhere along the way I stopped using my DSLR and switched to my P&S. It has taken away my spark. These pics are no more exciting than my camera phone pics. Making it harder to motivate me to do anything with them.

So there are 13 different reasons why I have failed at blogging and uploading pics.

Can anyone else see my desperate grasping I've got going on here? I'm trying folks. So hard.
