strained back

Good thing Uncle Craver had his camera with him, 'cause he caught this snow person just in time. This is Doodlebucket's snow girl, and her name is "Goo-Goo." The poor gal is going to hurt her back, leaning the way she is. When we left the house, Goo-Goo was not leaning any more. No, she was laying flat on her back. It was late, so I figure it was Goo-Goo's bed time.

.

Now, my back is hurting. It's not because of poor posture, like Goo-Goo. More likely, it's because of all the snow shoveling or maybe even stress.

.

I haven't been posting or commenting as much as I would like. Too many things to do. Too much pressure. If I don't sacrifice a little blogging time, I'll end up like poor Goo-Goo. By the way, she must have been really exhausted. That picture was taken Monday night, and she hasn't gotten back up yet.

No one can top Mr. Snow Bump. He's in the class of "I'm too lazy to make an actual snowman, so here's a bump." I love Mr. Snow Bump.

I reached my "backing point" this fall and realized it would help if I reduced my number of posts per week. Because I like to interact with the comments, it was getting too time-consuming to do this with 5 posts per week (between all my blogs).

Do what you need. We don't want you to melt down. ;-)

A message?! (Pink Panther joke)

Hey Mrrr, that Mr. Snow Bump of yours was a classic!

Right. Melting is bad. We don't want to melt. Regardless LL, I wish I could do MORE with this blog, not less. There are three or four photographs in cue, waiting for me to "connect the dots" and put a story together.

This fellow must be dating the guy over at A Musing Mom's house.

We've got a sunken snow fort ourselves...

It will take more than a deep breath, Imac. Part of the strain is that this blog used to have two elements that are no longer part of the program. First, I gave it more time. Second, (and this is huge) I used to find the words first, and then add stock photos from Flickr. Since I began taking my own pictures (November), there has been a change to what, why and how I write. I don't want to go back to the way it was; taking pictures is way too cool. It's just that there isn't enough time to do things the way I'd like.

I'm not pouting though. It is better to have a job, plus family and community responsibilities than to miss those and have all the time in the world.

Sunken snow fort, LM? For a second, I thought it was "drunken" snow fort. Oops.

Llama Momma said...

Oh, and I didn't mean anything naughty by suggesting that your snowman was hooked up with AMM's snowmen. Being that they're both guys and all. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

No drunken snow forts over here.

Which is a good thing.

Hope your back's better. Sounds like it's all system go-go, I mean Goo-Goo.

Never doubt the stout qualities of the Craver backbone....

Love the photo. Poor thing. Must have been trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue.

I was just telling my hubby how the chiropractors are probably making a mint on all of this snow. So many back problems with all the shoveling.
I am ready for spring!

Funny, Craver! :)
