Do you ever feel like this?
This was me at Halloween (the young men and young women all performed the Thriller dance at our church Halloween party, hence the awesome zombie-ness). But sometimes, okay, a lot of times, I feel like this on a regular day... minus the green tint and maybe the blood. It's not a fun day when I feel like this.
I'm struggling to believe in my photography "business." I feel like photography is one of the few things I'm actually good at, but it seems like every time I put myself out there and try to book jobs all I hear are crickets chirping...
I've turned into one of those "busy" people, and I hate it. I don't have kids, I shouldn't be this busy. I feel like I never have time to do the things I love anymore, and I haven't even had time to put my house together, hence the lack of pictures.
My job sucks. Big time.
Christmas is only a month and a half away, and I haven't even THOUGHT about gifts, let alone started shopping. Gasp! Normally by now I have everything all planned out and mostly purchased by now. I am majorly stressing.
Even with all that nonsense, I still feel incredibly blessed and feel like I have a lot of really good things going for me. 2011 has been an amazing year for Nick and I, and I can hardly believe that it's almost over. I already know that next year is going to hold wonderful things as well, if only because Zachary comes home from his mission in August/September. I already have a couple of New Years Resolutions, and they're good ones, but I'll save those for another post.
Is anybody out there? Anybody miss my posts?

I miss your posts! I actually just looked at your blog yesterday because I was like what the heck has Kimmie girl been up too! I was sad to see Def leopard was still the latest news in your life..So glad you posted today! You are so great at all the many things you do..so just hang in there..your lame job is but a small moment..And your hair always looks good even if you think its zombie-like sometimes..you have the perfect hair.
First, may I just say that the Thriller dance was AWESOME? Because it was. You performed very well. =)
Second, don't give up in your photography business! You take beautiful pictures that tell stories, and I would hate to see that talent go to waste. People don't always "need" pictures, especially in this economy, so things might feel slow sometimes, but when a "need" (birthday, baptism, holiday family photos for their Christmas cards...) DOES come around the more you've talked up your business the more likely it is that people will come to you. =)
Third, I can vouch for the fact that you have thought, at least a tiny bit, about Christmas gifts (even if it was a few months ago). We need to get together and do our craft projects! It sounds like you could use a break and then you'll feel accomplished because a couple of Christmas gifts will be done. What are you doing this weekend?
P.S. I enjoy reading your blog. =)
I've missed your posts, too! I don't know too many friends that blog, so I rely heavily on those that do! haha. Thank you for being real in your post. I feel like that too sometimes. I think you have great hair and always do your make-up so perfectly, so I don't know how YOU could ever feel like that! haha. ;) Also, I say keep up with your photography skills and business. Not all of us have the patience to learn photography, so we rely on people like you! Keep putting yourself out there. It will pay off because you have talent, and more importantly, you love what you do.
I always miss your absence in all things. Facebook, your blog posts, your pinning action etc. Heck just from my life!! It's always a treat when I get to see your pretty face. Also I already told you yesterday but I think you are an AMAZING photographer! You have REAL talent girl!! And I am PICKY about photography. Don't stop believing (I totally just sung that in my head as a journey tune) in your talents. You are a woman of many talents! There is no denying that. Anyway I think what you are feeling is completely normal, we all feel this way from time to time. Try and keep your pretty face held high! Love ya! -Kristen
Well, you know I am ALWAYS "out there"- I love your blog, I love your photography and I love your face. Keep your chin up! You're too pretty to frown.
Kimberly Snowe, you just stop.
You're amazing and maybe just maybe your Father in Heaven is saying Kimberly Snowe you are such a great example to the youth in your ward, that this is where you are suppose to be at this season of your life.
Christmas is the season of Christ not about what gifts need to be given and plus the best gift comes from the heart not from the store.
Enjoy your life as it comes not what you want it to become. I love you and I miss you...and yes you need to up date your blog more often.
So as your aunt stop your belly aching...and get your bootee back to school and start teaching the children...so then you will have the career you always wanted and get out to the job you hate.
There I said it...
I love you Snowe and I miss you and can't wait to see your home.
So be HAPPY not SAD :)
