Why, Hello, Blog

So, um, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it, Blog? Honestly, it’s not you, it’s us. We’ve had a lot going on. Like dealing with a creep of a client who is way overdue on more than $3,500. Yeah, that whole process has taken a lot of the wind out of our sails.

I think it’s only fair to tattle on Tamara, as well. She’s totally been cheating on you with Twitter. Don’t even bother to confront her about it, as she’s completely unremorseful. I, on the other hand, just don’t see what’s so great about Twitter. You’re so much more comfortable, and you make me feel much better about myself than that snobby creature ever could.

What else? There’s been some panicking on our part, as it seems that the recession may finally be catching up with us. We have clients who just don’t want as much (or any) work, and there are a lot of new freelancers out there who feel that it’s appropriate to charge a lot less than we do. So, we spent the early part of April freaking the hell out. Things seem to be working themselves out so far, with a new big monthly client helping to replace the creep.

Also, Tamara and I have been able to pursue a couple of our personal interests, which has been nice. I won’t give anything away about what Tamara’s been doing, as she might want to share it herself (or not). I’m actually in the process of buidling a new website all about Bunco. (No, really.) I’m sure I’ll be looking for feedback once it’s up and running.

And, my mom has come to visit for a couple of weeks. She hasn’t seen her grandbaby in a long time, and they’ve been having a blast getting reaquainted. So, that’s cool, but it has been time consuming. Oh, and Tamara’s going to Disney World with her hubby and Baby Berry this week.

So, I guess you’re all caught up now, Blog. I know we’ve got some things to take care of for you, too. We just sort of left everyone hanging on that lolcat contest, for example, so we’ll need to take care of that so we can announce the winner and get the prize shipped off.

Also, also, I thought this was funny: http://strictlywriting.blogspot.com/2009/04/ten-things-only-writers-understand.html
