  • (Hopefully?) Blogging more

    Whew, it's been a busy few weeks - and it's getting busier!  Brandon graduates from Kindergarten NEXT FREAKIN' FRIDAY.  Fercryinoutloud, how did that happen?  So we're gearing up for that, and then...just three days later, Melena turns two!  Crap.  CRAPCRAPCRAP.  We're having a combined party for them in early June, so we only have to clean house once. 

    Currently, we're dubbing DVDs for the school talent show and passing them off to parents for $8.  It was an interesting job, I'll say that.  High school kids were running the sound booth - where Craig was also running the camera - and couldn't keep quiet.  We'll see how that goes.  We're just far too lazy to go through the entire 2+ hour show! 

    I went inactive from Passion Parties for a while, without realizing it, mostly.  I was $40 short on my retail sales, so we got that straightened out.  I'm working on boosting online sales to maintain my status, (so go to www.kcpassion.com to buy some sex toys - mention Xanga and I'll give you a free gift!), but have yet to see the fruits of my labor.  Of course, I just started posting and writing a few nights ago, sooo....

    But I've decided that I'll start blogging about some of the things I talk about at parties.  I haven't decided if I'll use Blogger or WordPress, though I'm leaning toward WP because it appears to suit me better. 

    I don't think I'll have any problem coming up with topics, but I have to ask:  if you were reading a sex and relationship blog, what would you want to read about?  I'm also toying with bringing in a guest blogger or two, though I don't have any traffic at this point to entice someone with.  Maybe I can strong-arm a friend?  Or make Craig write something?  At any rate, I have to come up with something. 

    On the job front:  still no job for Craig, HOWEVER, the one place he'd interviewed at three times looks *very* promising.  The VP of HR called him last week and told him that they hadn't made a choice yet, but they were *very* interested in him.  They have just come to the point where it might behoove the company to hire on two new people as opposed to one, and it would be more cost-effective to train them both at once.  He also said he understood if Craig still continued with his job search, but if another company made him an offer, he asked that Craig contact him so that they could discuss it.  He still has severance coming, so it's not like we're living on Ramen Noodles and acorns from the front yard; we were just hoping for something to happen sooner.  I suppose everything happens in its own time, right?

    So that's where we stand.  Please forgive me if I sound disjointed today; I haven't had any caffeine in a few days and have had my usual bit of it today - which is still not much by any means - a cup of coffee and 12 oz Dr Pepper!? - and I'm jittery and cold.  Of course, *this* is the reason I try to avoid caffeine, anyway!
