You know… that Blog?

Yes, I do suck.

Written By: Jenn - Apr• 05•10

I work online – both of my businesses mean that I spend vast quantities of time sitting here in this chair, researching, assigning tasks, and wading through scads of email from clients, contractors, and employees.

There are two things I do as a stress reliever whilst I’m doing this stuff… and those are blogging (natch) and Facebook.

What I always, ALWAYS forget to do though, is check my blog email. I really don’t like to use my blog email – I really REALLY like getting comments, but I get enough email otherwise, so don’t think about it for blogging purposes. I realize not too many other people have this foible, so getting blog email isn’t an issue… but I have this mental block about it, and only check that account every so often.

SO, all this boils down to the fact that I have apologies to make. For missed deadlines, seemingly-ignored hails, and requests for things like site help, and guest posting.

Mea Culpa, my friends! I would never willingly ignore you!

I’m catching up (it’s been a couple weeks since last I checked… there are hundreds of emails in there) but will get it all done this week… and I’ll write a note to myself to keep checking it with the rest of my addresses. Maybe even tie a string on a digit. Whatever.

 

That Wascally Wabbit!

Written By: Jenn - Apr• 04•10

We had our obligatory visit from the Easter Bunny last night, and I thought I’d share a few snaps taken of the kids – mostly Wee One, because The Teen kept shrieking “Don’t take my picture!” like her bed head was anything other than the norm these days. These things must be documented for posterity, sweet child. Deal. Anyway, that Wascally Wabbit hid eggs in the darnedest places…

The Teen was not fixing herself a cocktail – there really were eggs hidden amongst the bottles. Apparently he wasn’t thinking about appearances when he breezed through the house late last night! Silly rabbit, drinks aren’t for kids!

ShaMoo, my “BFF” and sister in song, spent all day Good Friday making Paska with some other Ukrainian friends, and yesterday I was the happy recipient of a very pretty and utterly yummy loaf. The picture sucks because I took it with my phone… I was too lazy to fetch my Nikon and we really wanted to eat it…

I’ve never had it before, so it was quite a treat for me. Of course it tasted even better because it was made and given with love (and I didn’t have to do any of the work)! ShaMoo tells me that I’m now 1% Ukrainian as a result. The remaining 99% Irish is absolutely ok with that!

You know we don’t celebrate Easter as a religious holiday – we’ve been through that before, so I won’t expound on it any further. For us, it’s a fun family weekend where the kids get to hunt for cool stuff, and a reason to eat ourselves stupid. However, and for what it’s worth, I hope all of my friends (online and off) have a wonderful Easter weekend spent in whatever pursuits make them happy and fulfilled.
