I swear though I haven't abandoned you. I haven't blogged in 2 weeks and I'm sorry. N has been sick and had to go back on the nebulizer and antibiotics, then of course A got sick as well and he's even worse that N with the whining. Work has been crazy, April is always a crazy month for us and I've got cabin fever and now that it's getting nicer I realized that I have gone weeks at a time without leaving the house other than to take N to day care or once a week to the grocery store (yeah, that's as pathetic as it sounds).
So anyway, I apologize for my absence but I promise I'm not gone. I've begun tweeting a whole lot more for both social and professional reasons (@LeaMacV) which is cool except sometimes I don't feel like I have anything valid to say. I have to say that it has made me delve more actively into the world of non-profit organizations and online training (which is what I do). It's been interesting the amount of stuff I miss and how just being aware of the goings on in the arena of nonprofits has made my customers seem to trust me even more. Like I'm more of a colleague to them than someone who is just preaching to them on how to use the software to advance their organzation (I don't actually work for a nonprofit, I work for a FOR profit software company who makes software for the nonprofits).
So learning all about tweeting (with @BabyShmizz) has been fun and has taken up some of the allotted time in my life for social networking. I don't really know how some of my amazing colleagues do it. They manage to blog on a daily basis (about interesting AND relevant stuff no less) tweet constantly and all sorts of other things as well.
On a personal note I feel like all I do these days is make plans for the future and next weekend is really the beginning of "the season". I'm getting a haircut :-). Due to A's job and N and living in a place where I can't find a good salon, this is much more difficult than one would expect. I have a babysitter coming next weekend to watch Nathan while I got get my haircut 45 minutes away from here where we lived before we moved here so I can go back to my old stylist. She's awesome but I wouldn't normally drive 45 minutes to get to her. However, my 30th birthday bash is coming up and on top of the weight watchers (lost 10 lbs, btw) I want to have a decent haircut as well. I know it's alot to ask but I'm willing to pay a babysitter for it. Then from next weekend on it gets crazy!
April - Easter
May - my birthday celebration, mother's day, cousin's wedding in Oregon with my mom and sisters (girls long weekend in Portand OR, WOOT!)
June - weekend at the lake with Mom and Dad and sister A (hopefully), visiting friends (Ahem, Boston friends, A is grounded for some of June and July, send us avail weekend, we're visiting!!) Shizz 30th birthday
July - week at the lake, wedding of my godbrother, Dad's birthday and BIL birthday,
August - weekend at lake...and I'm sure more to come
On top of all that I start my Business Stats class on May 2.... awesome.
So life is crazy but I am now renewing my vow. I will do something blogworthy 2 times per week and be sure to blog and update you all on it. I swear.
