six reasons why i haven't been blogging

(1) I have been too busy Christmas shopping... on Christmas Eve. But I still have a lot left. Two days after Christmas. Although, I'm just going to pretend my procrastination is intentional since no one has figured out that everything is cheaper after Christmas. I think we should all push Christmas ahead three days unofficially. Last week's dress was $40 and now it's $10. Christmas presents galore!

(2) I've been on planes and in cars with this little sleeping beauty of a baby sister on my shoulder. Just kidding. That was only once. And it happens so few times I had to take a picture of this rare sweet moment. It's true, my sister is most affectionate when she's sleeping. That being said, I'm an airport lover and there's nothing better than the people you can watch during the Holidays. Salt Lake City airport is hands down the best, too.
(3) Between Mad Men and Freaks and Geeks breaks on my new iPad mini (!!!!!), I've gotten the occasional breath of fresh air by braving the Wyoming tundra. When it's 3 degrees before windchill, you know you're in Wyoming. When your hair freezes thirty seconds within walking outside, you know you're in Wyoming. When your Great Uncle's house has more antlers hung in the living room than he does silverware in the kitchen drawers, you know you're in wyoming (unrelated but definitely relevant).

(4) I can't take these babies off (despite the fact that 94.5% of my time has been spent indoors for the last four days) and I can't possibly go take blog pictures in them outside when there's six inches of snow outside.

(5) I told myself I'd wane off my coffee addiction after finals were over... but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's really hard to do when your mom makes coffee at the same time every morning and sometimes brings it to you in bed. This beats Starbucks and on campus coffee every morning at school any day. I think I need to steal my mom and take her back to Montana for this reason alone.
 
(6) I'm too busy snapchatting... with the whole family. It's our newest form of entertainment together.

And when we aren't snapchatting, we can occasionally get
a slightly better family picture. Only slightly. Personally,
I'm almost partial to the snapchats.
