Sometimes, but not as often as I probably should. I usually just babble to Him about regular stuff, when I do babble.

I always feel like I’m bothering Him when I speak to Him.

A pastor once told me to treat it like you’re talking with your father. If he cares about the hairs on your head I doubt anything (except sin) is a bother.

Don't ever feel that way! He's always there for all of us! I told the kids in my Confirmation Class that they should get into the habit of chatting with Jesus all through their day; thank Him in the morning for the chance to live another day, pray for classmates who they know are having a hard time, ask Him for help with tests, homework, etc, and then Thank Him at the end of the day for having another day to be with family and friends.

I told them that the more they talked with Him, the more familiar they'd be with Him, and wouldn't find it hard to call on Him when they truly needed Him. Too many adults say they have a hard time praying, but it's mainly because they've gotten out of the habit, or maybe never started it.

Guess where that 'feeling' comes from...
