Work Haze & DiFranco

Hello world! I’m back from an intense two week project. How bad a blogger am I? I’ve been an absent parent to this blog, I know.

I’ve been writing a large website from scratch in two weeks. Since I write for a living, sometimes I just don’t have the energy to blog when I get home.

I guess this is the time in my life I should be totally dedicated to my career anyway, pouring all my energy into it. I’m in my twenties, I don’t have any kids yet, and I’ve still got the energy to throw myself into anything heart and soul. I really do love my work, but more than that, I get emotionally attached to anything I’m doing. As a result, when I’m working on something at work I don’t really leave it at work.

On that note, today the labour ended and I gave birth to a beautiful baby website. Did I just say that? I can’t help it, it’s true. Clearly I need to go out and socialize with humans this weekend.

I just got home and I haven’t seen any life forms yet except the dogs – not that they’re not absurdly cute. The boy’s not home yet – girly music time!

I started listening to Ani Difranco for the first time in 10 years. Not sure what made me pick that old CD, but I can’t get enough of her tonight. I remember why I loved her music so much as a teenager, though I now get it on a whole different level.

It reminds me of my camp girlfriends. I can’t wait to plan our next rendez-vous, most likely this summer in Vermont. Time to stop blogging and make some calls to old friends. Maybe I’m still human after all… Thanks Ani.
