I Miss You Guys

Published on January 24, 2007 By Texas Wahine In Blogging

I am so out of the loop when it comes to JU.

I am only vaguely aware of who is currently mad at who, I read articles and don't completely understand because I've managed to miss some key piece of backstory, and I generally just feel disconnected from my favorite website (ok, it's my 2nd favorite now, but you guys don't need to know that!).

I find plenty of time to be online. It's just that my computer time is mostly comprised of mini-surfing bits. I check JU between doing other things. I can't tell you how many times I've opened JU up to do some catching up and have gotten distracted with other responsibilities and then gotten up and gone to the computer the following morning only to find my browser still opened to the middle of an article that I didn't manage to finish reading the night before.

I can also check out JU while I'm holding or nursing the baby, but I can rarely reply to articles when I'm doing that since the typing motion bugs Izzy.

I miss the interaction of JU, and I miss staying connected with some of the friends I've met here. I wonder if I will get to where I can keep up like I used to? Obviously my children and my responsibilities come first, but I wonder if I will ever get to where I can manage my free (LOL) time well enough to stay on top of the Soap Opera-like goings-on of JoeUser?

Right now I'm writing this during Isabella's morning nap. It's a decent length nap and the boys are at school. Free time, woohoo!! But while I'm doing this, I'm neglecting the vacuuming that needs to be done, the phone calls that need to be placed, the toilet scrubbing that needs to happen, and the exercising I should be doing.

Some days I'm just lazy and I DO spend nap time on the computer, but then I feel guilty, so I'm trying to learn to fit everything in. I try to clean as I go throughout the day and workout in short 10-20 minute increments throughout the day so that I accomplish something without feeling overwhelmed.

Anyways, my point is, I miss you guys.

I have felt very much the same Tex. I just haven't had the time to write, read or reply as I would have liked. And when I did have the time, the desire was just not there. As it is, I think it is best to stay somewhat distanced from the melodrama, but I won't lie and say my curiousity isn't piqued every time I read something salacious here.

I used to always be out of the loop, and when I'd see the "salacious" bits as BlueDev called them, I would just be confused and lost.

Not so this time, I was actually involved in the nasty lil' bits and I actually got BL'ed by a couple people.

Not as fun as I'd hoped. But still, pretty fun.

But . . . on the topic at hand, we'd love to see you more often.

Now, I just need to write more often . . . nothing interesting seems to be coming . . . oh well.

Good to see you!

My balogna has a first name, it's O S C A R
My balogna has a second name, it's O S C A R
I love to eat it every day
And if you ask me why I say
Cause O S C has a way
With A R O S C A R

I have nothing but nonsense to post these days!

When I'm in school this is one of the major sites I use to procrastinate.

Joy!

! You're too punny! Now I can't get that dang song out of my head....for the second time too!

I miss you too and I'm glad you're still here! But yes, it's hard to fit it all in and not feel as if you're neglecting something.

Like me for example, right now I'm supposed to be on the way to pick up Amanda from school/daycare. I'm still at work. Then when I get home, it's dinner to cook, and other stuff to take care of, my son likes to talk so I listen with what's going on with him, my older daughter is at her pt job right now til I pick her up at 9pm, but I'll hear her stuff when she gets home. My hubby might be on his way to hang with his buddies right now. My next free time will be at probably 10am...if I'm lucky!

Just dropping by during my first full week of work as *trumpets sound* Arts Aministrator. I'm so busy that I feel like I'm going mad, poor Kole is really missing the underemployed Mommy and would rather have her back, and the only thing I want these days is sleep without dreaming about what I might be forgetting at work.

As far as the drama goes, what drama? (And what's your new favorite place, haha?)

Hey Tex,

Don't feel bad about missing the latest soap opera goings-on, I did too and I've been here pretty regularly of late. But really, you have far too much to concern yourself with in the real world to be caught up in the latest imbroglios.

Believe me, you've been missed. It has been great to see you back a little more regularly of late. Have a lovely weekend, and all the best from the antipodean Masons to your wonderful family.

a good practice...especially if you have a lot on your plate as you do with the little one.
