See You in 2012!

With a tight website deadline looming*, the holidays coming up, an overnight work shift early next week, and a few writing projects I want to move forward with, I’m taking a temporary hiatus from posting here until probably the middle or end of January. I want to spend some time between the holidays and the rest of my plans just relaxing, then I want to move forward with some projects. I’m also unplugging from Twitter for a while (but probably only just until the end of this week).

I hope you all have a lovely time with your close ones, and I wish you a happy New Year. I’ll see you in 2012.

What are your plans for the holidays? Mike and I are spending Christmas Eve with my dad’s side of the family, and then we’re spending Christmas Day with his side of the family and my mom’s side of the family. I have no idea what we’re doing for New Year’s Eve, but I hope I won’t be sick like I was last year!

Taking care of business

I’m probably not going to be around much lately, but I am alive and I do have bullets!

  • I have an appointment on Thursday with an advisor at Southern. Andrea in the Academic Advising Center really helped me out. She helped me get reactivated and helped get my $200 tuition deposit transferred to the Fall 2009 semester (long story). She rocks and I love her! If it weren’t for her, I’d probably still be lost somewhere in the SCSU time warp.
  • My graduation party was on Saturday. I have pictures that I need to post. I also need to post pictures of my tattoo, because Sarcastica pointed out that I said I would and never did. (Although, I did post pictures of it right after it got done over at Scars Can Speak!) The point of this particular bullet? Remind me to post said grad party pictures. Because if you don’t, it’ll be another year before you see them. :D
  • Speaking of Letters of Love, I am working on creating a plan for the project. This last year has been amazing, but I’ve kinda just been winging it. I need a solid plan and some long-term goals. I picked up some books at the library today.
  • I also picked up books on how to write a business plan, since my aunt and I are (pretty much fully?) partnered in her business and we need to write one. This is one thing that neither of us know how to do, so I went to the library to edumacate myself. I hadn’t been to the library since 2003, so I had to renew and replace my card, as well as pay a small late fee for a few books from 2003. I felt really good walking out of there with five books. Next time I’m definitely getting some fiction!
  • My mom gave me a dragon tree in my Easter basket. (Yes, my mom still makes me an Easter basket. Jealous?) I planted the seeds and put them in the terrarium, not expecting anything to actually sprout. But:
    (Baby) dragon tree!

    (Baby) dragon tree!

    I took this picture about a week ago. It’s almost grown out of the little pot right now! Actually, I think I need to remove the lid now and transfer it soon after.

  • I scheduled an appointment with a new doctor who is not a specialist of anything for Wednesday. I’m hoping that her fresh eyes and my list of shit wrong with me will get me somewhere.
  • In the midst of all this craziness, I’ve been pretty much ignoring my email. If you’re waiting for a reply, I will be catching up tomorrow. I apologize for the delay, but right now I can only do so much.
  • Other than that, I’m exhausted and I’ll have to come back to this when I have more time and am not so tired!

Taking a hiatus

I’m not going to do a Bloggy Love post today. I’m probably not going to be blogging here for a while, actually.

I really want to concentrate on a couple of other things right now, mainly Letters of Love because I’ve really been neglecting it lately. I also need to work on some WordPress websites — this site included — as well as a static website. I really would like to build up this blog a little more, but Letters of Love is very important to me and needs me right now (I’m terrified that it’s going to die if I continue to neglect it). I have also been working on another project, and the bottom line is that I just can’t do it all.

I need two of me.

If I do update here, it will be in spurts. I’m not entirely gone, though! I’ll be on Twitter and writing for Scars Can Speak. Once it’s up, I’ll also be all over Freaking Bookworm, my work-in-progress online book club.

And you can bet when I get back here, it’s going to rock!

PS: I’ll still be reading and commenting on all your blogs, too. Probably should have mentioned that. :D

Priorities

I need to follow Miss Britt’s lead and prioritize. (If you want to skip my boring to-do list, help me figure out why we beat ourselves up!)

I have a long list of projects. Every time I turn around, another one pops up and insists on being completed as well. (For example, as I plan this year’s NaNoWriMo novel an old WIP pops up and begs to be completed.) I have priorities and I have things that I think are priorities. The question is, which are which?
