Catching Up

So, officially: I am a bad blogger. Maybe the worst ever.

There are tons of things I have been putting off sharing on here, and, sadly, they will probably all appear in one big clump because let's be honest...that's how I roll.

I have been keenly aware of this fact about myself lately and how my discipline is so clunky- I have huge spurts of resolve and responsibility and I channel it into : an awesome 3 days of working out - reading half a book in an evening and then never picking it up again- 7 blog posts on one day and then nothing for 4 months.

I am rereading Blue Like Jazz, and in one part he talks about how he vowed to read his bible daily but the burden of that commitment robbed him of the enjoyment of it, and he would keep forgetting. He said - wait I have to get out the book because it was so good - "I'd forget about it for a month until I cleaned my room, and then I'd lift up a pile of dirty clothes and there would be my Bible, staring up at me like a dead pet." So it is. With me and everything. I could not stop laughing when I read that.

I will say, that I just received a MacBook from work, which is what I am currently using to write this blog post to you. And though I see the folly in it even now, my discipline-spurting-brain is trying to get me to type that this laptop will be the answer to my erratic blogging. As if being able to blog on the couch will make all the difference.

Enough about that.

It is with that that I will close with a big THANKS to my friend Melanie who told me about this app that makes your pictures look all hipstamatic-y (see violet's model shot above)...

...and the girl scout's pledge to be a better blogger.
