What is WRONG With Me?

I am on this blog at least 4 times a week to read other people's blogs, but do I take the time to update my own?  Nooo.  Right now I'm listening to Martha Wainwright's "B.M.F.A."  She is so bad ass.  I wish I could be more bad ass.

You know what's really bad ass?  My business has literally quadrupled in the last month.  That's the real reason I haven't been updating my blog.  I haven't even updated my business blog.  I've lost 30 pounds by cleaning houses too - bonus!

I've got baby fever more than ever, and that fever, that mania is pushing me forward in my business.  Ulitmately, I want to have crews cleaning for me.  I'll have to hire one at a time, and eventually my most senior employees will become the managers of the new ones.  Then I can concentrate fully on marketing, HR, and meeting new clients.  Oh yeah, and having babies.  I honestly think I'll have to hire my first person by mid-summer.

Sam is just 2 weeks shy of being one year old!  That's hard to believe.  Today he woke us up around 3:30 a.m. because he'd chased a nasty possum up our privacy fence.  The possum wouldn't hop off into the neighbor's yard, so Sam wouldn't stop his manic barking.  Z eventually had to go outside and throw rocks at the possum hoping it would jump.  He also threw a rotten potato.  But that's another story.  One does crazy things at 4 a.m.

This has been the coldest, wettest, nastiest winter ever, but spring is finally getting bolder it seems.  Our daffodils and crocuses (croci?) are beginning to bloom, but the unlucky ones are getting decapitated by a particularly ballsy blue jay.  He might meet a rotten potato later.  We don't have any azaleas or camellias, but it seems like all the neighbors do, and they do really well down here.  Those are just beginning to bloom too.  I wish we had a dogwood tree.  My mind is just going a million miles an hour thanks to work, so I've resigned myself to stream of conciousness blogging.  You'll get used to it.

You know what I miss?  The O.C.  Don't hate - it was a good show for about one and a half seasons.

My favorite part of the winter olympics?  The opening ceremony when k.d. lang sang "Hallelujah" which I'm listening to now.  She brought it.  OK, now "Tik Tok" is on.  It's a terrible song, in that I'm terribly ashamed to admit I freakin love it.

Tonight I'm having dinner with my old work friends because one of them is moving away for a new job.  That bank failure seemed like the end of the world, but it's been beyond a blessing for me.

I am thinking of opening a bookstore as my next business venture.  If you live in my town, don't steal my idea.  It'll take me a few years to raise that kind of money.  If you are from Montevallo, it might be similar to Eclipse.  It depends on how bad ass I'm feeling at the time...

Seriously, yesterday I took a shower after working all morning, during which I missed four phone calls on my business cell.  I called them all back and booked FOUR consultations in ONE hour.  No, really.  But that's a post for my business blog, which you'd better be reading.  Maybe I'll update it tomorrow.  (Probably not - I've got a consultation tomorrow!)

I got to fire my first client a couple of weeks ago.  What a rush.  It was liberating, awesome, intoxicating even.  OK, that's a bit of a stretch.  But it was a power trip.

I miss blogging.  This has been fun.  Let's do it more often.
