Abandoned


Over a week without posting. Bad, Jude, bad!

I know it did seem as if I pretty much abandoned the blog last week, but in reality I was just succumbing to the choice of one thing over another, namely work. By the time the end of the evening would roll around and I'd open my laptop, I just didn't have enough oomph left over. I also know that when things are quiet over here that's my usual boring reason (unlike me saying "I'm off to Europe for two weeks!") and it probably seems like a lame excuse, but, alas, it's true. I'm hoping it's not the case, but it may get a little worse in the next couple of weeks (although in terms of the blogosphere if you go from no blogging to no blogging, how much worse can it get?) as my office is in the process of getting ready to move and working out all the details is on my plate. So, bear with me (again) as I push through another busy patch.

There's a quote by Lao Tzu which reads: "Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time,' is like saying, 'I don't want to.'" But I do want to! I do!

Well, get your busy-ness out of the way. I have a design project I need help with when I move. :) I'm also sending you the pics from the Showtime House. You will not believe how cool that place was!

Totally get the busy thing AND the uninspired/unenergetic thing, too!

Hello again, dear friend! I can sympathize, it's been crazy busy here too. I'm glad to hear from you, that picture and the quote is especially fitting :)

Jude,
If you look around, everyone is going through the same thing. It is hard to be stimulating and effervescent in your writing when life is out there kicking your butt into mind numbing exhaustion. Get to it when you can cause everyone will still be around! Fantastic quote!

sometimes it comes down to eating dinner or blogging for me. i love food, so this is a great sacrifice!
:)

i commend you, though. i wish i had my priorities more straight—blogged less, spend time with my husband more and clean my house more.

your blog is so great, it's worth the wait!
(hey that's a little poem)
:)

looking forward to what's next from you!
