i'd like to thank the academy...
May 1, 2007 Yes, I said it was an honor just to be nominated.
But I was so lying. I needed to be a winner. And now I am.
I might have also won in the "Most Infrequent Poster" category for my performance the past few weeks. Lucky they didn't have an award for that, eh?
I am sorry that I have been so absent. I am finding it a harder road than I thought navigating between personal and professional time. On one hand, I feel so blessed that my day job provides me with fun, challenging work and interesting, exciting people. On the other, I feel like I have done a terrible job at keeping up with old friends and neglecting more personal endeavors.
Have you been here? Have you been able to successfully strike that balance so that none weighs too heavily as to let the other float away?

Response: On Striking A Balance...In for a penny, in for a pound - do or be damned? I’m all about extremes. It’s hard to maintain the fine middle line. Sometimes life doesn’t work that way.

Congrats
For every new project I want to do (like take over IT2M), I just sleep one hour less a night!
We all know you're busy. But just so you know, you are missed!
congrats!
and we had fun last night - thanks for dragging me out!
- greta ;)
wtf?!! You were out having fun with Ling when you could have been home blogging? And here I was feeling all sorry for your heavy work schedule. Sheeeesh!
Oh you're back! Yay! And you've won an award. Yay again!
Missed you for a bit, then went to visit BOSSY. I'm so fickle.
I see you were right about Avitable in category 8. Hahaha!
Sometimes we just need to pause, take a breath and then rearrange. You'll sort it out.
Congrats on your award.
It is hard to balance it. Or so I found when I started working again last October. But you know what? Now that I am not working again, I find myself blogging and visiting less and less. I'm a horrible blog-friend but I am doing other personal things that I love so it all balances out, right? :D
hurrar for you!!! there is no real balance! try focusing on a different thing each week... or month... hmmm x Rachel
I'm a bad balancer. I have no wise words except you know what's most important to you and what you enjoy.
oh and maybe a day a week to keep the friends happy.
Generous words coming from the woman who STILL hasn't gotten her birthday present from me. So tolerant.
tolerant. she called me tolerant.
plz put down the crack pipe, it's becoming obvious now.
