Catching up

Great to hear from you! How is everything going? Sorry for the delay in getting back...I am full of good intentions and just need to find time to do the things that are important! I know you understand what I mean...ah, the lives of mothers are busy. :)

Things are good here...I started a new job in March (same industry - marketing, new company) and love it. Great workplace, nice people, interesting clients. I'm also closer to home, which is nice. It was really important to simplify my life so that I could spend more time.

My little guy is getting so big...I'm sure you're seeing the same with yours. Hard to believe they were little tiny things once. People are already asking whether the second one is coming soon. I used to just laugh and say let me get thorugh the first year. Ooops - now I need a new line! :)

Would love to hear how things are going for you. Are you still working at the museum? And most importantly, how's your clan?

Take care -

P.S. Send pictures! Here's my little guy with my parents' puppy, Molly.

Read-a-lotta-blogs...

But write-a-lot? Not so much.

I'm a consistent reader of blogs, but much less of a writer lately. You see, I've discovered and become addicted to Google Reader, which allows me to harness RSS, subscribe to my favorite blogs and read all of them at once. I can see which have been updated easily and which haven't...it's really quite a beautiful system.



But in all this reading, I'm not writing very much. Partly, I've been tied up with the new job. Yet I don't want to miss capturing the dialogue of life, either. So I'm newly committed to getting back on track.


Check back and see if I've kept to the commitment...

What to Wear

Hi C -

I've been thinking of you this week, and how I should definitely call you one of these evenings. (thanks for your return call over the Memorial Day weekend)

And then this morning happened. I spent nearly 30 precious minutes trying to figure out what to wear, dammit...what to wear that looks stylish without trying, and what definitely doesn't look MOMISH. I've been feeling a little too Momish lately and I don't like that style much. About 15 minutes in, I realized I still needed to call you, and that you would totally understand this dilemma based on your blog a few days ago. Meanwhile, Nicholas is starting to peep and I haven't blow-dried yet...erg.

I came across a blog describing this issue - and as I read it, I thought you might like the entire Work-it Mom site.
