My poor neglected little blog! I thought I better pop in and dust it off a little before it gets completely forgotten. I never mean to take such long breaks from blogging. I’ve just been so busy!
Work is going really well. I have some projects in the works that I’m very excited about, including some print stuff (flyers, letterhead). I just can’t believe people actually pay me to do this work that’s sooooo fun! That’s how I used to feel about babysitting. I used to babysit for this family with three lovely kids who were so much fun to hang out with. I’d take them to this fancy country club that they belonged to, we’d spend the day lounging around the pool and laughing our heads off, and then the parents would pay me! Nice work if you can get it, huh.
I’m also working on a complete redesign of my professional site, which is embarrassingly plain. I originally designed it as my first experiment after reading this book, and it was all about the coding. Pilcrow 2.0 will be much prettier, and I’m also experimenting with a new (to me) content management system, Textpattern. It’s a little weird but it has definite possibilities. I’m pretty excited about it, actually.
And! Oh! *gushing* I am in the middle of THE MOST AMAZING book right now. It’s Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Safran Foer. This might be the number one best book I’ve read this year. That’s all I’m gonna say about it right now. My book club is meeting to discuss it next week. I’ll post about it afterwards.

What a coincidence: I’ve just started reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close too.
I’m not really sure why but I never did really get into Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Might have just been me though!
Thanks for checking! I’m looking forward to hearing about the book you’re reading.
Just a hunch, and, I’m just going by the title, but could it be that having a 3 yr old somehow makes that book ‘relevant’?
Weird! My book group is reading the same book for our next meeting! I just made an excuse to go to the Y so I could get on the recumbant bike and have a half hour of uninterrupted reading time. If my thighs hadn’t protested, I would have stayed on all day just so I could keep reading!
You sound so happy. That’s good!
Another title to put on my reading list.
I need to start a section on what my book group reads but no time…yet
Dangling a bone so you might drop by my site: there’s a “different” photo up of a family member
