I Hate NOT Blogging, but....

this is the deal. My 30 days of free editing software is up. It's over. Expired. Gone.

This very well may not seem like a big deal. But, I've grown very quickly accustomed to editing my photos. I like editing my photos. And, now.....well.....I can't.

It's sad.

Editing software is pricey. It's a heck of a lot less if you are a student or a teaching professional. Does former adult corporate trainer count? Nope, it doesn't. So....while I am in the process of purchasing myself an editing software....I don't have it yet. And, my photos just aren't the same.

I have sooooooooo much to blog about:

• the Royal Wedding.
• Princess Lily and Princess Kate.
• My love for British Hats (seriously).
• Mother's Day.
• Mother's Day Family Pictures.
• Milk and Cookies Party Planning.
• End of School-itis that even my 1st grader is suffering from.
• Sharlie vs. Charlie.
• Brady's obsession with squinkies and how he is the squinkie godfather at school.
• Lily's sudden need to practice her dance recital routine all.the.time. (not sure its helping:) )
• Charlie's adorable facials and eye squints....and her bobble head dance moves.
• And...not to mention some other topics that I have typed into my phone so that I don't forget.

But, without my editing software....it seems hopeless.

I know...it doesn't even make sense. But, that's how I feel.

Here's a (yes, unedited) picture of Lily and Jakey.
I.Love.this one. Unedited and all.

30 in 30

30 blog postings in 30 days.

That's my goal.

I know I've been MIA lately.

Not anymore.

Hooray!

Bad Blogger, Bad Blogger!!

If I had a Blog Mom...

she'd tell me to go to timeout.

I deserve it.

I haven't been blogging.

My Aunt Karen reminded me this weekend.

(She's my #1 fan...remember??)

Totally my fault.

I've got about 5 post-its of things I want to blog about.

I seem to be watching tv...

and playing with the cuties...

and sleeping...

rather than blogging.

I miss blogging.

But, I feel so behind?

So much to write about.

So little time to write.

Why can't blogging be my full time job?

That would be awesome.

I'd love it.

Going back to timeouts.

Isn't that a cute mat above?

I always wanted something like that -

but, I always found other things to buy instead.

If you want it -

you can get it here.

I just use the corner.

The cuties mostly think it's funny.

I sometimes use their bedrooms.

But bedrooms are too fun.

Anyways...I promise I'm back.

Did you hear that Aunt Karen???

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!!

Happy Birthday Blog!!

It's official. My blog is 1 year old today. I cannot believe it. I still remember sitting here at this very same computer 1 year ago trying to figure out just what I needed to do to start a blog. So many things I worried about -

what to name it?

blogspot or wordpress?

ugh...how do i get those pictures to center properly?

is that all the font choices?

html...please come back to me...the little that i know.

how can my blog be cute?

and funny?

and me?

what should i write about?

does anyone even care what i write?

These are all things I still periodically think about. I truly have found that my blog is my journal. My free thoughts, wants, and desires. I write about a lot...probably a lot more than I should. But, I'm pretty much an open book - take it or leave it. I have been able to voice my thoughts about everything...the cuties, the hottie, our daily activities, politics, my liberalisms, celebrations....you name it - I've probably talked about it.

Wow. One year. Being that I do seem to jump in with both feet in everything I do - I knew that I would love it. But...I really never thought I'd keep going. And now...I can't imagine stopping.

One year down...

Happy Birthday campbellcuties.blogspot.com - you have literally been a very therapeutic venting ground. Thank you!

p.s....have you joined my blog contest???

you only have until midnight tonight.

GOOD LUCK!

I am NOT a Blog Addict!

As I was looking for a picture for my last blog...I found this:

HILARIOUS!!! Isn't it???

And, just so you know - they DO NOT all apply to me.

So, I will argue that...
