Wendy, is that any way to ask a respectable gentleman out on a first date? “You next?”, I think we should get to know each other better before making any rash decisions that could impact our lives, and the lives of our loved ones.

I am – I sent him big kudos via email too.

So Alex, you next, perhaps?

I think it’s tied with the one about blogging cliques, etc.

Or at least it WAS…

Jeez.

It’s a good thing I’m secure in my blogginess, because Scott’s post has just surpassed ALL other posts on this site as the most commented post of all time.

Way to go, Scott!!!

Wendy,

That title seems a little sappy, I like it. I miss your face on mybloglog, come visit me!

This week is extra exciting for me because I have guest bloggers for the first time, three in a row! I’ll have a follow up post on saturday, so check it out than. I’ll e-mail you a special reminder =)

Oh, guys… enjoy your little ones while you can. I took one boy to high school registration last night, and the other one is checking out colleges over spring break. They’re both bigger than 6′2″, eat like a plague of locusts, can write html and text without looking at their phone keypad, and thankfully still give fabulous spine-cracking hugs. And it seems like it happened overnight…

At this age they are far more interested in Halo II, girlfriends, jobs and cars than entertaining parents… and I’m glad. They’re cutting the cord right on schedule.

ROFL Alex! I may just do that. An “Ode To My Blog Readers”, eh?

Wendy, I would like to request a post where you express how you really feel about the community surrounding this blog. I’m still on the fence as to whether you like us or not…

By: Wendy

Wendy — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 18:06:02 +0000

Look at all of you – just chatting away with each other…

I think I’m about to have one of those moments… the ones in which I am amazed and grateful that the community that visits this blog is so damn cool.

Don’t mind me – I’m just cleaning up the mess from the party last night. You keep right on partying amongst yourselves!

@Ponn & Scott,

It’s funny but I usually live alone (visiting family this week though), but I never really get lonely. Worst case scenario I go over to the school library and do my thing from there.

Ponn,

We have a 2 1/2 year old, who is always willing to help out with my writing. And who is always available for a Raffi sing and dance-along, which is something that I can recommend to anyone looking for a good stress-buster.

Hey Scott.

Just in case you *ever* get lonely again, I have a techy-hubby also a home-based entrepreneur, and 3 homeschool chickadees who love to sing, dance, draw and entertain ANY lonely soul! Pick your age: 6.5, 5.5 or 3.5!

I ache for my aLONE time!

Looks like guest blogging is really making its way around, I’ve even had 3 lined up for this week.

What I like best about this article is scheduling work time. Treating your work day as if you have a set start/end time in order to induce proper focus and non lolly-gag around the house.

Jeri, that makes sense about needing more socializing if you’re more outgoing. I’ve always been more introverted, so that’s probably another reason I don’t often get lonely. Some people would probably go crazy with my hermit lifestyle.
