Blogging to Nowhere

Dear frequent readers,

I haven't blogged because AIW is messed up. It's posting to feedburner, but not on my blog. It makes me sad. Writing now, feels like pointing in the dark, like chewing gum, a rocking chair...

Lots is going on. We have Emelyn in town and Grandma Jean in town because we celebrated D and Emelyn's 2nd and 27th? birthdays, respectively, We had our little shindig yesterday. The usual suspects were invited, the grandparents, nanny B and Kim and Leia came too.

Leia cracks me up. She is very vocal and talks up a storm. She shows Dahlia how to do things and is a birthday party expert. At age 2 1/2 Leia knows that first come the gifts, then the cake. Our party was more free-flowing, so we kind of did everything whenever.

Today Dahlia had a fan club at soccer. Nanny B came, and I brought Grandma Jean. Then Emmy and her shiny, new boyfriend came to watch too. There were only two toddlers on the field, so there wasn't much interactive play, but we got to watch D run around and PLAY!

Then Jean, Emmy, Patrick and I (Dahlia is implied) went to my fave coffee shop and pulled a trashed, sticky, dilapidated game of Sorry! off a shelf. We played as fast as possible and Patrick won. I got second. Jean turned out to be an intense player though. Emelyn was cool and strategic. Dahlia tapped the pieces on the board just like we did.

Two weekends ago, we went to Seaside, Oregon for Maren and Garret's wedding. Maren is Nanny B's daughter, who is my age. I helped plan the event and B, D and I went down to the ocean as guests and help out.

Sadly, B brought a nasty cold/flu home with him from Holland, so we all tried to stay away from each other so we didn't catch it. Dahlia was finishing up a cold when we went to Seaside, so she had some lingering effects which precluded her from joining most of the festivities. On the last night, the night of the wedding, I started feeling symptoms. I put myself on B's antibiotic a couple days ago and I am now functional as a human being. I don't have time to be sick! Had to self medicate.

Busy with The Business. I am tying up loose ends from jobs last month and I am looking to send out Happy Spring cards, or gifts, or something for current and potential clients. There are so many opportunities to connect with people, I don't have time to take advantage of them all.

I may be talking with a couple people soon, about working as personal assistants for me. I already have a few helpers when I need them for my own jobs, but these new people would be outside my geographical area. I can talk for days on this... call me if you want to strategerize.

It's lightly snowing this fine, March day. Our weather has been off the wall.

I'll try to get my Wonderland fixed.
Peace out.
