Reason #483 why I need a camera phone

We are at the park in Greenwich, CT right now (just across the state line, only about 10-15 mins away from home) after my Chiro appt and Jake is running around playing happily. Great photo opp, I think to myself and grab my trusty point-n-shoot from my purse and bring it along. Pull it out to set the ISO nice and low since its a bright sunny day and -- ugh! The batteries are dead. I soooo need a camera phone. I can BLOG from my BlackBerry, yet I can't take a picture. I'm a stinkin photographer by trade dagnabbit! I *need* a camera on me at all times. I don't drag my big camera around with me, but maybe I should! Or, just have the presence of mind to actually think to *charge* my point and shoot batteries now and again...

<sarcasm>So for anyone who complains that there are no pictures on "Jakes Baby Blog" I will direct you to my photography blog at kellyvasami.blogspot.com. And I will remind you that this blog is called Jake's *BABY* blog. He's a toddler now. I've more than fulfilled my baby blogging obligations ;) Lol.
</sarcasm>

In all seriousness, I know the blog is pretty sparse and I wish I could post more. The photography business is going really well and I can't complain. I work 2-4 days a week (frequently 12 hour days) so when I do have 'down time' I *spend it* with Jake, rather than *posting* about Jake. And occaisionally I'll push around a vaccuum, do a load of laundry or throw a small birthday party for my now-30-year-old hubby. :)

But yes, it hasn't gone unnoticed that the blog has been neglected more than usual this summer. I hope you all are spending the four minutes a day you would normally spend reading my blog doing something fabulous with the ones you love. :)
I know I am...

Kel,

After two years, 4 months, one week, two days, and 16.75 hours of commentary (and occasional visual images) of all things Jake, you simply can't leave all of us faithful J.B.B. devotees without our daily/weekly/whenever updates! Besides, your frequent inclusion of hyperlinks to previous posts keep us well grounded in Jake's baby days. On behalf of all J.B.B. fans nationwide, we humbly request MORE!

Dad, aka Peepa,

*TECHNICALLY* I first started blogging about THREE years ago:
http://www.valentinedesigns.com/pregnant.html

The second post ever (they aren't dated per se) had pictures from my first ultrasound of Jake, on Geeda's birthday, August 17th, 2005.

In that time, I've posted exactly 357 posts (I just counted). I think that's a perfect number, don't you Peepa? ;)

What? You spend time with your child instead of blogging about him? What kind of mother do you think you are? And another thing, 30 years old? You two make me sick. (sarcasm) No, really, I feel old and guilty for reading your blog and not talking to my kids. Thanks. Thanks a lot (~;

Ha! "The woman's" comment was hilarious. You aren't gonna quit blogging now, right?!? Goodness...your addictive blog was the reason I started a blog! Sheesh! As I recall, many of your post times are around 2 AM, so I am hoping you are actually getting some sleep this summer! ;)

Kelly said...

Nah, I'm not quitting blogging anytime soon. I'll just do a cruddy job of it for a while - lol.

Kristin - you and 'The Woman' have a lot in common - you are both residing in the same state and have the same profession! And you are both talented writers!

Sleep? Never!
