You know, I think I over analyze things. Now I’m not talking over analyze as in ‘Why hasn’t he called me’ type of analyze. I’m thinking more…displacing reality to enjoy a good fantasy. Or, shall I say, fiction. I think I’ve always known this, but tonight it came out again.
*Spoiler alert for the movie Enchanted!*
I was watching Enchanted for the first time, and enjoying it for the most part (tangent: I think I’m also one of those people you shouldn’t tell if you think something is SO AWESOME because my standards get too high when I finally read/see it). Anyway it ends with the heroine Giselle staying in present day NY instead of going back to cartoon land.
Most people sigh and think how romantic. Me too, but there’s this other voice that goes…okay, now realistically? That totally couldn’t happen. The government would want to know where she came from, she’d need a social security number, a birth certificate. Maybe, maybe they could have hid her on the down low, but come on, she opens her own business!
*End spoiler alert*
This is also why time travels (specifically when they come to the future) don’t work so well for me. Though I do still love to read them!

Yes. I haven’t been around. I know it. I’m guilty. But I thought I’d just touch base as to why you may not see me as much this year on the blogosphere.
Here’s what I’ve been doing lately instead of blog hopping…
Work on booking agents/editors for the Emerald City Conference
Help pick workshops for the conference
Do president duties for the Seattle chapter
Generally write 1k a day at least (I’m super proud of keeping this up!)
Work out daily (I’m super proud of keeping this up)
Being a single mommy (ah that’s just the cherry of my day!)
Grammasitting
Blogging (mostly at Naughty and Spice, but I’m all kinds of crazy fun over there!)
Cleaned (okay, once, but I’m counting it!!)
Add a bunch of friends on MySpace and Facebook
Making decisions and organizing opinions on the redesign of the GSRWA site
Those are just some of the big ones off the top of my head…
But I do miss you all! And I promise I’ll stop by every now and then. But with the list above, you can probably tell something had to give. It’s been the daily blogging and blog hopping. And really, sometimes you’re better off, because really, how interesting am I on a daily basis? Give me a few days to find something interesting to tell you!
Oooh and the last thing I do lately…look for totally pointless, stupid graphics to put up when I do blog!
Psssst: and now that I’ve admitted I won’t blog as much, just watch me be better at it for a bit!
