I haven’t been this busy since…. well, I don’t think I have EVER been this busy. I have never been so crazy active that I haven’t had time to blog. Yikes! So I’m missing out on Lin’s mustaches and Karen’s Spunky video and Chuck’s tracks… 🙁 I’ve read every single one of your posts, but it’s always a snatch here or there.
I do have good news… we have made more progress on the bookcases! YAY!!!!!!!!! :sherlock:
They need a lot more work. I ran out of wood and have to buy some more (and stain and poly and poly and poly *sigh*) to finish the trim work. These suckers have a lot of trim work, did you know that?! Also notice that I did put books on the shelves. I couldn’t wait any longer. I’ve had the stacks of books all over the floor for a month now. Enough is enough. Those books there constitute about 1/3 of all my collection. 😯
I also have TWO business trips coming up, and all this while I work full-time. Ugh. I am going to need a serious vacation after all this….
Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

Sacre moo! They are looking great. You friends understand busy . . . and priorities. One of these days you’ll find some time to depressurize. No, really-you will.
