There. I said it. I didn’t want to say it. I didn’t want to admit it. But, I am in a funk. Nothing all that serious (don’t worry Mom!). It’s just I have so much I have to do, so much I want to do, that I am simply overwhelmed. I want to crawl back in the bed and pull the covers over my head. I want to sleep for a few years. I just don’t know where to start. There are piles and piles and piles and PILES of junk around my desk and on the floor. I’m getting pretty good at blocking those out from my peripheral view. That takes talent, ya’ll.
Oh yeah, and I’ve been working on some blogs for some very nice ladies, but let me tell you — I hate Blogger. Seriously. I’m so excited that these ladies are moving from Blogger to WordPress I couldn’t be happier, but it can be a pain to move all that stuff. So if you — yeah, you right there — are thinking of starting a blog, or before you get a few hundred posts into one, use WordPress. That’s my public announcement for the month. Well, that and STOP using IE! Use Firefox instead it rocks. I seem to be easily distracted this week (month? year?).
I’ve also been feeling overlooked. I see all kinds of bloggy friends who are being asked to do all kinds of cool stuff, and I’m in pity-partying mode evidently. “Why not me?” So while trying to talk this over with Duck the other day, he honestly tried to make me feel better, but it didn’t work. He basically told me I need to get my bahonkas off the computer and live life.
So in honor of Duck, Doodle’s summer vacation and the 2″ of dust on everything, I’m going to get off the computer for a bit. I’d say I’ll be back in July, but I might just take July off too. Once I finish with these few nagging little blog projects on my to do list, I’m going to say no to some work so I can concentrate on my offline life. Geez, how often do I need to be reminded to get off this stupid thing. Evidently a lot.
If you see me on Twitter, or Facebook, or here, ask me how many piles are left on my desk or if I’ve swept the floor lately. Help hold me accountable!
Yes to all of that, especially the part about start with WP and use FF.
Hey. Don’t put words in my mouth! I don’t want all your tweeting twits angry at me. I didn’t say go cold turkey. I just said to get outside the virtual world and live in the real world for a bit. You can still blog and tweet, just not 24×7! Get outside and take a walk around and enjoy God’s creation for a change. And take me with you when you go! Love you lots, your GBH
I know the feeling. I hope this summer brings you rest and rejuvenation!
Have a great break! Let me know when you are back on and we’ll work on my blog…I’m in no hurry and can wait until Fall to do! *hugs* You rock on all this WP stuff!
