'M not deid yet...
Just really, really busy.
I've been trying to keep the wheels on the Principality bus for the sake of other folks, but my heart's not really in it. Done with the SCA. And all the abject StoOpIdItY therein. Though the obnoxious "peer" who got up my nose about it did get me riled for a little bit, it was more the principle of the thing than anything else. What it did drive home is that, if this is the (ahem) quality of person currently in charge of the Kingdom... there is no hope. Just none.
MY efforts have been totally in other spheres. I've been working at my blog and building my platform, trying to convert some of the coaching I got via the "Cookbook Camp" I attended into practice. Plan for this week (presuming I shake the cold) is to run to Lansing and raid the Cooking Ephemera collection for some inspiration. And I have my first "corporate sponsor" for a small giveaway that I'll get up later this week.
I also need to redesign the blog and website in it's entirety. And I should even just bite the bullet and move it to a self-hosted site. It'll make my life easier in the long run. The unfortunate bit is that I tend to get a little mental and lost in the coding. It's a means to an end and yet I fall down the rabbit hole. Overambitious, and prone to get TOO involved in writing an entire Wordpress template when I probably only need a theme. Someone slap me!
Work is work. Dr. Dinklefritz continues to make me crazy and I'd just as soon be rid of him and work the hours myself. The other one continues to stick me on the Saturday thing, but having given up the SCA, it's less of an issue than it once was.
I'm wondering if it's worth trying to find a dance teacher for Liesl for after the New Year.. or just wait 'til next year. She IS making huge strides in other areas, so maybe she'll be more ready later? And I'm not sure how much energy I have for another search. *sigh*
Ditto for Rori. It's hard for John to take her to dance classes, without something for Liesl to do, too. Though we might check and see what the winter session at the YMCA looks like.
Anyway, that's all for the moment... back to watch the end of Cupcake Wars and then get ready to hit the hay.
ETA - And REALLY hating on LJ these days anyway. The constant spam comments, the refusal to play nice with DW... quality is at a low, low ebb.
