I never really wanted to be known as 'the girl with the crappy blog'...but apparently, I am bound and determined to accept the title.
Just haven't felt like blogging all that much lately.
So I haven't.
Have had this blog for almost four years now. (It'll be four years next month.)
I guess rather than focus on what a crappy blogger I've been of late, I should focus on the good stuff.
Over the last four years, I've posted 970 times.
And if I did my math correctly, that means I've blogged on average 4.66346154 times per week over the last four years.
And that makes me feel like a good blogger. (Especially the .66346154 part.)
And while we're focusing on the good stuff, you all might as well take a minute to pat yourselves on the back for hanging in there with me even when I'm a crappy blogger.
Thank you.
And a totally unrelated picture (only because I can't stand to blog without a picture)...
PPPUUUULLLLLEEEAAASSSSEEEEE...Your blog is one of my very very favorites....keep on "keepin' on....

You are not a bad blogger and really I think there is an epidemic of reluctant bloggers lately. I feel the same way so end up posting mundane lackluster posts. BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!
Hang in there. I'll wait for you to come back.

Crappy blogger? Seriously? Yours is one of my favourite blogs. Your photography is AMAZING and such an inspiration. I sign up to your RSS feeds and always enjoy looking at your photos saying "HOW DOES SHE MAKE THEM LOOK SO GOOD?!".
Excellent blogging. So stop saying bad things about it. That is all.

I love your blog. It reminds me that it doesnt matter where we live in the world there are things that are the same or similar even when it comes to being in the service or life in general. You are also a very talented photographer and an inspiration.

Karen, you do not have a crappy blog!!! Why are you beating yourself up? I love to see your pictures and read your stories about your Josh Downs, your children, your extended family, bff Jill, photography and whatever you feel like writing about. But if you feel you need to take a break, then do it! You've got to do what is best for you. Don't ever forget that.
