it's raining babies!

(Get it? Raining babies... baby showers... yeah. No? Okay then.)

At this current moment in time, I'm feeling rather... hmm... uninspired. languid. frustrated. antsy.

I don't really know what to write. I want to create something so badly right now, but I feel like I'm just lacking the initiative. I'm coming up empty. Agh. I hate this. It's the most frustrating thing, as an artist, when you just feel dry. I have to inspire myself somehow. Hopefully I will. But for now, I feel like making lists. So I shall.

1. I went to the fair. Pictures coming soon. :)
2. Mom's baby shower was on the 8th, and it was so much fun! (Hence the title... hem, hem.)
3. On Thursday, I auditioned to be a part of the worship team at our new church. It went really well, and I'm going to start practicing and helping lead worship with the band for high school. Slightly excited. :D
4. Baby K is getting REALLY strong. It's amazing just to sit there with my hand on Mommy's stomach and feel her roll around and kick like crazy in there. I'm telling you, she does NOT stop moving. She's a wild one.

1. My Photoshop CS5 trial expired. *teary violin music* So I have to figure out how to move CS4 from my brother's computer to mine. Bleh.
2. I want to keep writing the book I hope to publish, but I'm still trying to figure out the plot. I feel so frustrated about it. It's so extremely hard to come up with a great story line. Everything I come up with, someone else has done before. But I guess that's the secret to great writing -- using elements that already exist and combining them in your own unique way. Wow. It's a huge challenge. *headdesk*
3. I haven't written a post in over two weeks. EW. (I blame my hectic day life. *coughSCHOOLcough*)
4. ;alksdjf;laksdjhf;laskhdfasl;dkhfl;sakdhf;laksdhgl;ashdgl;ashdgl;akshdgl;kashdg;lkashdglkh
5. Sorry. I just had to get that out. *deep breath*

Okay, now that I've satisfied my random list craving.

You know, what? I think I know one of the reasons why I'm feeling so meh right now. Today has been spent rather selfishly. I haven't been looking for ways to serve people in my family, or going out of my way to be a blessing. I've noticed that when I really take the time to be kind (and not short or irritated) with people, it comes back around, and I just feel better about the day. I really want to work on this. Right now, I want to go and do something for my brothers. Lord, help me have a servant's heart.

Since I currently am running out of things to type that have any real significance, I shall share some pictures of my Mom's baby shower. The ladies were oh-so-sweet -- just darlings. I know that sounds funny coming from me, since most of them were 30+, but they were just so thoughtful to put it all together, and really made it special. :)

(My mom is the adorable, young, thin blondie, by the way. Love you, Mom.)

 The cake was TO DIE FOR.

Aren't the decorations simply adorable? 

It was a beautiful day. I had so much fun getting to photograph it all. Every day I become more and more excited for this little sister to come.

Expect at least one (probably two) more posts this weekend, because I have a lot to write about, pictures to share, contests to enter, and plans to mark 100 followers. Almost there! Hello and thank you to the new friends. I love you all. Group hug.

Thanks for reading, and have a remarkably delightful little Saturday afternoon. :)
