A Link to a Link to a Link?

Wow.

Keeping up two blogs is exhausting.

Well, maybe it's not just the two blogs.  It might also have something to do with the directing and the nephews and the dog and the cardboard boxes and the cold I've been fighting (or not fighting...) for the last week and a half.

Does this sound familiar?  Am I repeating myself?

The good news is, the Internet has made it really easy to communicate without actually talking.

I've learned a trick.  It's all summed up in one word: Links.

This is my link for today: Click here

If you click on those little words, the Internet will somehow magically do whatever it does to send you over to my OTHER blog.  The Thorn Princess blog.  Where I'll probably be doing most of my writing over the next 6 weeks.  Or until the most epic fairytale of all time hits the stage in mid-November.

Just in case you were missing my voice.  My white on black, computer-screened, non-audible voice.

Welcome to the Age of the Virtual.

Pictures, Not Words

I’ve discovered something about life.

Something I’m sure my two married sisters and two sisters-in-law (all four with kids) discovered long, long ago.

It’s hard to keep up a blog when you’re busy.

Now, I’m only baby-sitting at present.  My two New Orleans nephews whose parents are flying to Thailand to look into the possibility of moving there as missionaries.  Apparently, traveling and missions runs in my family.  And, actually, I’m only half-baby-sitting.  My mom’s doing most of the work.

But I’m also directing a play.  And making jewelry to sell at two shops and online.  And writing a book.  And waitressing part time.  And walking my dog and burning broccoli on purpose and checking emails and riding my horse and brushing my teeth and all the other little daily things that I have to do in order to not keel over and die.

All of which means that at present I talk a lot and write a little.  A very little.  Which is completely backwards from how things usually are.

So, to make up for it, I’m sharing a collage of photos so they can say a thousand words.

(I’d write the thousand words myself, but I don’t have the time.)
