An Apology

Dear Bloggy Friends,

I am sorry.  So very sorry that I haven't been living up to my end of the "comment love" bargain.

I know it's an unspoken law of bloggytown that when commented upon, you return the love.

I am a wonderful lover most of the time.  A giver, really.  But, lately, with pmac running my life for 9 weeks a year, I've lost my comment mojo.

I want to thank those of you who have stood by me.  Those who know that "it happens to everyone" and that I have "nothing to be embarrassed about."

When I get back on my feet around.. oh... August 18th, we will have a SERIOUS love-fest.... dare I say, orgy.  

There will be multiple commenting.  Each and everyone of you faithfuls will be left totally satisfied and begging for more.  Promise.  

Get your rest and get ready, cause as soon as I am back to my leisurely life, you're all getting hit right where you want it most...in your comments.

We read you because we love you...not because we need you to comment back. Don't let your blog stress you out. We're not going anywhere!!

Everyone totally understands.
Blogging can totally take over your life and sometimes you need to step back and have a life!

Mama Kat may read you cause she loves you but I'm all about the comment love!

Wait.....how was the bloggy land meeting?

And secondly.....you don't have to worry about your readers deserting you (at least not this one).......you already built a love foundation and I come back because, well.......you're just plain great.

Eh. Who has the time for that? Does anyone really keep track? I read you because you are funny and I like you. I would still read you even if you never commented to me again.

Maybe I'm just a loser like that. Comments are fun to get, but don't stress about it!!!

I respond to let you know that I appreciate your writing, what you share.
But I'm looking forward to the
18th! Will you have more time to write as well?

I'm really struggling with keeping up on the comments, too. I was afraid this would happen when I was featured on SITS but it was so, so worth it.

You guys are so sweet.

Yes, I will be writing more (we take 5 months off completely) and pmac is camp (I spell it backwards to keep it out google.)

Swirl Girl... a little Marvin Gay or Berry White should get the mood.. candlight always makes me look younger...

Girl, we all go through those weeks or even months when we just can't keep doing it all. I myself am way behind on all of my blog reading (and hence, commenting), so I totally get it. But I would read you even if you never left a single comment, and I know many others feel the same. (That said, I LOVE that you love to comment as much as we do!)

pmac sounds all consuming!!

I barely know you, since I just started reading your blog a month or two ago, so it's cool to hear what's up. I'm all about comment love. :o)

i have blogs that I read faithfully and have only ever heard back from said blogger about once a month---and yet I still read :)! Though I look forward to that comment, uh, orgy (I feel dirty just typing that word--hee! hee!), we all understand the one-sided lovin' for now!

I think we all fall short of our expectations from time to time. The important thing is to not beat ourselves up about it just forgive yourself and move on.

That's about the time I'll be back in school and not posting as much. But you're right, we all have times when the blogosphere has to take 2nd place to Real Life.

I read you because you're interesting :-)

It's also understandable that tou haven't been around much, as you'd mentioned that you had 400 kids descending on you at pmac.

No need to apoligise at all !!

Hey, sometimes the best thing you can do is go out and have a life--and step away from the computer. I'm trying to find the right balance. I'm right there with you!

You silly girl! Don't you fret.

That is NOT something you should worry about. (that's a really funny post about it though) It's a lot to do. It should be fun and no stress. So, I'm of the opinion that you comment when you can and if life gets in the way then don't stress because life is going to get in everyone's way occasionally.

Now please don't come back in here and comment on my comment! Seriously; I'm not worried about it. To me, you read what moves you, and I know I'm not constantly throwing amazing stuff out there. If you stop by my blog, I'll know it's because of friendship, not obligation :) I have plenty of friends I don't see/talk to on a daily basis :)

Been there. Maybe still there. As far as being so behind.

Don't let it stress you out! It needs to stay fun and not an obligation!!!

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa...

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin...
