we’ll be riiight, back! Just kidding. I don’t really do that kind of thing around here. For some reason that old Saturday morning cartoon jingle popped into my head when I was thinking that I didn’t really have time to post today. Due to finishing a wholesale order (something different), juggling other shop orders (thank you!!), and trying to wrack my brain at the last minute to pull something creative out for an ad project for which I’ve been invited to contribute. That I’ve put off and is now due tomorrow. And it’s for a publication for an emag for a goddess in the industry. Not someone like me who’s barely making it out the doorway with tp stuck to the bottom of her shoe. (Hey, at least I make it out the door.)
Gah! I’m only making myself more nervous and procrastinating more.
And here I am writing a post that wasn’t meant to be a post.
Which has me thinking about one of my all time favorite posts by Allie Brosh of Hyperbole and a Half called why I’ll never be an adult. {warning. There’s language. And you might snort your coffee from laughter if you read this in the morning. Because it’s so true.}
And now I’m down to the wire where I’ll have to make a decision to pull an allnighter or just throw some crap together and call it good.
I promise I shall be back. With cookies. I mean, a cookie recipe. Like, a favorite Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip cookie recipe. Btw, what’s with the new thing with labeling them “white baking chips” we all know they’re not chocolate. And what kind of recipe name is Oatmeal Cranberry White Baking Chip Cookies? WTH? No one will bake that.
You see? I did it again. It’s an out of control spiral. And I’m committing the ultimate blogger sin of not posting an image with this. Hopefully my self deprecating humor will be enough for today. It was either that or some totally unrelated photo of drivel that you weren’t really interested in seeing anyway. I suppose I could’ve youtubed a video of that jingle, but then I’d actually be blogging, wouldn’t I? And that is what I said I wouldn’t do.
Tuesday. You may have bested me. And you haven’t even started.
**update: I woke up to security notices from a plugin I had installed saying that someone tried to hack the site. Which led to the whole thing going down (even though they didn’t get in). When it came back all of the hyperlinks were broken. Pfft. Really? That meant time on the phone with my host company (they’re been great), and an update to a ssl that will be going into effect over the next couple of days. Because I’m over it. And it’s worth the money. And my time. Well played, Tuesday. Well, played. Just wait until we meet next week. I’m bringing ammunition. And cookies. With white chocolate chips.**
I had to write a guest contribution yesterday too, and it was even one I solicited (i.e. self-inflicted anxiety). I procrastinated until almost 2pm, including setting up my Word document with all the formatting. Eventually I just had to sit down and do it, but there was a lot of insecurity through the whole process. After it was submitted I asked DH if I would ever have balls-out confidence. He laughed and said “probably not.” Hope you got your project done!
Ha! I need to write a post on that. Because I have some strong feelings – and a bit of advice on how I work through this “resistance”!
