Baked in Birmingham

It’s been weeks…

I really love Jen Gotch’s (my polaroid blog and co-creator of ban.do) reason of why she hasn’t blogged in a long time. So I’m going to steal her reason, as it is the same reason I have.

“if you haven’t noticed, i’ve got nothing to say. and actually, that’s inaccurate. i’ve got plenty to say, but only a limited amount of time and energy to say it with. oh and i have to say stuff in lots of other places. so it’s not that i don’t care. it’s just that i am out of film, short on time and low on energy.”

Here, here. I just returned from Ireland (refreshed and exhausted at the same time), I’m tapped out creatively, my nerves are fried, I’m anxious and stressed 24/7, and I’m tired of people hurting my feelings, letting me down, and taking advantage of me. It’s just gotten me really down. I love blogging, I love sharing my thoughts and creativity with people who appreciate those thoughts and creativity, but lately, it’s just hard and I don’t have any motivation to keep putting myself out there.

Baked in Birmingham won’t go away; I’m not going to end something I love doing just because some people like to rain on my parade. But I think my break here will continue for a little while. Stay with me, and come back when things are going swell again. I’ll be baking my little heart out in the meantime, and hopefully take some pictures along the way. In the meantime, if you’re the praying type, then you know what to do.
