Why I Don’t Blog Every Damn Day

March 11, 2008

I was just talking to Karl on emails. (I’m working on a new blog design for him) and he said I do “plenty.”

I thought about that for a minute.

This morning, I got up, fed the kids, checked email, posted one celeb story, got dressed, dressed kids, took them to the Children’s Museum, got groceries, came home, had 4 more kids over for a playdate while I cooked dinner, took dinner off the stove to run the oldest to hockey practice, came home, finished dinner, made a healthy tuna pasta salad for myself for the week, cleaned up, bathed the youngest, walked the dogs, read to the youngest, tucked him in, made the older one shower, gave him a kiss with some cough medicine, worked some more on celebrity stories by claiming some to post in the morning, and now it’s 1 a.m.

SugarHubs needs to step up the choreplay.

I still have to answer Swank client queries, and finish two layouts.

I’m starting a 2nd writing gig in the next couple of weeks.

I have 8 ideas ready for blogging here and a bunch of entries from the old blog to bring over here.

Guess which thing won’t get done?

That’s right, my sewing. Sorry Nancy.

Looks like Nancy’s been sniffing the sewing machine oil. You know, if there is such a thing. (I have NO IDEA.)

You’d think that if Girlfriend wrote a book on sewing, she wouldn’t be wearing her Uncle Archie’s super snazzy suit jacket. Is that duct tape she’s holding? If so, she’s got my number. That’s about ALL I have time for. As I told the kids this morning before loading them in the car and taping their mouths shut:

“Silence is Golden, and Duct Tape is Silver.”

    I think that sewing book (and patterns in general) need a serios update.

    And yeah. I’d say you do plenty. :)

    Yikes, that is one hideous outfit. Really, the 70s should be legally deleted for crimes of fashion.

    That’s a cute “busy” day you have there. Try doing all of that and having to put up with your ass. Now that’s tough.

    Your duct type line is awesome. I will use it and claim it as my own.

    I used to get stuck watching that sewing show–I was torn between laughing and complaining that it was the only thing on besides the Channel 13 Fishing Show. I always thought she snorted the machine oil too.

    “Silence is golden and duct tape is silver”??? Wow! Now that’s something you should embroider onto any number of items that I’d be proud to display in my house.

    Nancy looks like she just caught her husband wearing her silk panties. Not that I know that look or anything.

    Yeah, you do plenty. And just a few days ago I clicked on your “blogging guilt free” icon and thought to myself, “that Karen, she’s so smart.”

    You’s one busy mama! I’d help if I could, you know I’d be there in a heartbeat!

    But maybe not walk your dogs, I’ve been failing in that department miserably with my own dog.

    Either that or Nancy’s got a serious facial twitch.

  13. Gravatar Hilly Says:

    Seriously, you put me to shame and I don’t even take the time out to blog or read blogs every day. But I have to say I am relieved cause I thought your lack of blogging was cause you hate me, cause you know…narcissism is not dead ;)
    (I really am kidding)

    Oh crap. Now you reminded me I have a ton of stuff to sew. That’s one more thing I have to avoid doing!

    I don’t know if I would take any sewing advice from Nancy. It seems she could use a little advice herself.

    Amy Sedaris wrote a sewing book?
