Backlog

So, yeah... it's been a while since I've shown my face here in blog-world. But I have a good reason for it... I think I've mentioned in past that I can only focus on one writing endeavor at a time. And I've had quite an interesting past week.

Just about as long as I've been involved in the fascinating world of the internet, my mascot has been a li'l treefrog. Most of my online friends are aware of this. Well, I discovered a week ago that I'm not the only one so enamored of the green li'l doods. A rather intriguing guy on MySpace discovered the same commonality and just had to pop in to comment on the observation. And we've been sharing very interesting e-mails back and forth ever since.

I'm not quite gettin excited about this guy yet, but I'm having a lot of fun so far, and there are definately possibilities for further development. And he's even earned himself a blog-name: my Evil Twin. lol This has been a recurring theme in our communication.

Amway, I HAVE had quite a bit to mention here... including the Office Manager's last week a few weeks ago. And Pop's new job at a new hospital. And the Staff Advisory Council Fashion Show I got roped into creating programs and appreciation certificates for. And thoughts on my birthday and getting older. And the horrid bug that decided to buzz directly into my ear at 2:30 in the morning the other night. I'm tellin ya, there's a prominent list of occurences that can cause adrenaline to course through your veins in 1.2 seconds... and that is one of them. I couldn't get back to sleep for hours.

But mostly I wanted to say thank you to one of my faithful readers... a cousin in Kansas who has always encouraged my writing, and happens to be a writer herself. Amway, after I mentioned my birthday a few weeks ago, I suddenly received a surprise birthday card in the mail! It was so unexpected, but very sweet, and I thank you very much. I know you're so good at that sort of thing... and I also know Gram appreciates your remembering her more than words can say. I'm not so good at the thank-you card thing... and I'm increasingly getting worse at the letter-writing thing. So I hope that a thank-you here is sufficient to express my thoughts. :) I really need to get your e-mail addy.

Welp, that's about all I have for now. I just don't have the mental umph to address all the other stuff right now. Who knows how long I'll be focused on writing back and forth to my Evil Twin. Perhaps our communication may progress to another format soon and I can get back into the mood to blog again. We have somewhat of a date to IM this weekend, so that may help. :)
