Between work crazies and Nick being diagnosed with Thyroid cancer... let's just say my reason's for not blogging more often are much more acceptable than my typical pathetic "too tired" ones. PLUS I wanted to say that I haven't been completed devoid of digital outreach but instead have had to direct it towards marketing efforts at work instead of my personal rantings and ravings. SO - that said - even thought I don't have a really good or 'real' post of my own for today - I will be happy to direct you to the ones that 1. i HAVE been working on the past months and 2. point out some of the reasons that have kept me so busy :)
So- here's the point in the post where you get to "choose your own adventure" like we used to do with those paperbacks that you'd leave your finger marked in until you knew whether or not the choice to go into the cave left you eaten by a dragon or not... :) :
1. Go Check out my husband's blog -"Blog, FatBoy, Blog" where he so humorously describes his battle with thyroid cancer. Really - he is amazing that he's going through all of this and still has such a sense of comedy and sarcasm. We certainly know how we get through our stressful times (read: irreverent jokes and excuses to use text to speech applications to tell dirty jokes in a snotty british lady's accent) http://blogfatboy.blogspot.com/2010/08/lasciate-ogni-speranza-voi-chentrate.html
and/or
2. Go Check out my work's blog and all our digital marketing efforts. It's amazing that as an Interior Designer at a normal sized (read: small) firm you really have to be more than just a designer: you have to be a Marketing outreacher, a cad draftsman, a student (learning a new 3d drafting and modeling program now...), a counselor/diplomat (how many times a week do I navigate getting clients not only to agree with each other about what they want but then have to be...) a salesman (to get them to buy in to my design aesthetically), a teacher (to educate them about why my design is not only 'pretty' but also meets safety codes and could improve employee productivity and absenteeism - oh and to education EVERYONE that Registered Interior Designers are not just paint and pillow fluffers but that what we do seriously affects the Health, Safety, and Welfare of the public at large either negatively or hopefully very positively - that is a whole 'nother blog series I may be posting about one day very soon) but now - also a graphic designer and copy editor... hence - the birth of a new blog! http://ppds-inc.com/blog/
Hope y0u enjoy both!

I totally agree with your comments about Nick's blog. I love reading it, his style and wit are awesome. I'm thankful for the fact that both of you are handling all of this with grace and a terrific sense of humor.
