the one where I could make excuses

January 10, 2009 | bloggy things,internin',me me me

I know, I know. I’m a bad blog friend. I’m not around as much. Not commenting or reading as much as I’d like. You’re probably not even reading these because I suck so much. I promise, I’m not ignoring you, “losing” your phone numbers blog addresses and breaking up with you.

It could be because I’ve been sick and feeling crappy.

It could be because Chicago is currently being mistaken for Antartica with all this ridiculous snow.

It could be I awesomely dropped my iPhone charger in a cup of pop (not soda).

It could be because I’m really in need of a hair cut.

It could be because I’m too busy chasing a puppy around in 30 feet of snow.

It could be I’m really mad I can’t find Greek: Chapter One.

But really?

It’s because I’ve been working crazy hard on trying to get The Printed Blog together. You try launching a newspaper in a month and a half!

I promise though, this blog won’t suck this week. I mean, I could have posted more Edie pictures but that’s like every other day here at the House of Lovely.

You people need variety.

And all I can manage to do is crank out is a list of possible could-be excuses.

Instead of leaving this blog cold and barren, I’ve scheduled some fabulous, funny and all around awesome guest bloggers to keep things lively around here. So check back Monday for a super fun announcement (from me) and then show my guest blogger friends some love this week?

I promise once things slow down a bit, I’ll stop being the neglectful blog friend that I am.

But, I’m trying to figure out ways to get as many of you guys in my paper as possible. One way or the other. It will be worth it!

don’t worry, we still love you! and since i’m blinded by my love for you (maybe it’s just the pictures of edie you post… kidding, kidding.), i’m going to let it slide that you said “pop (not soda)”, because really… who says pop? i’ve never heard anyone call it pop, ever.

rachels last blog post..priceless…

omg don’t break up with me! I’ll cry. i won’t recover.

I hope things calm down (or don’t? whatevers better) soon.

Maxies last blog post..I said ayyyyoooo…

good luck with your newspaper, Jamie..

Heck yes you call it pop and not soda! My fellow Canadians and I thank you.

Erins last blog post..With Feathers in Her Hair

We understand, lady. Really. I’m so excited for you about The Printed Blog. What a fun, different project! I hope y’all get it off the ground sometime soon. Keep up the good work! We’ll all be here whenever you make it back.

E.P.s last blog post..Oh, the front page news…

Get better soon! Lucky us didn’t even have a single drop of snow in Hungary… but black Christmases are just so depressive.
Luckily my phone is not worth much, at all, so if I dropped it (or its charger), I wouldn’t worry much. I’ve been longing for an iPhone, but my other dream present is a Sidekick. I know that it’s not so ‘intelligent’, but it’s just soo cute!
I’m looking forward to seeing the guest posts and The Printed Blog get together!

Rosiers last blog post..Assistant

Don’t worry! We love you and your Edie puppy & I’m thrilled for you that you’ve got so much going on!

Looking forward to when you’re back with regular programming & to tell us all about your adventures.

I’ve missed you around the blogosphere lately! Good luck with The Printed Blog and everything else you have going on. I’m excited about your guest bloggers this week.

I’ve given you a cute award on my blog

Yeah, I desperately need a haircut too!

nicoleantoinettes last blog post..the internet: incredible networking or crazy stalker fest?

Oh my god I am totally resenting you for having a life outside of this blog! Your internship has made me soooooo jealous. I wish you much success with all of this!

Rachel M.s last blog post..My list of things I will forget about by Feburary

I completely understand that…

-It’s called pop (I’m from Michigan)
-It’s can be hard to balance a blog and a full time job (a lot of work)
-Pet pictures are irresistible (although mine’s a cat)
-Chicago is a tundra (thank goodness for the Pedway)

Good luck with the paper!

Allies last blog post..An Accessory Company with a Cause

Gosh it is totally okay. Though I’m also a workaholic and often find myself using work as an excuse for my horrible blogging

Stephs last blog post..Hiking on a Saturday

Although I’ve missed your usual blog posts I completely understand.

it’s okay jamie we still love you

good luck with the printed blog and yay for greek lovers, haha.

katelins last blog post..Let’s dance for Friday!

i was able to find greek:chapter one off amazon! i bought it maybe…in november ish? it should be there…somewhere!

libbys last blog post..I haven’t felt this way since Harry Potter…

Don’t be sorry for not reading and commenting blogs regularly, you do have an offline life to live and if your blog buddies can’t understand that then maybe they’re the ones who need a break from the computer

p.s. welcome to my blogroll!

Just fyi, I like the puppy posts. ) Keep up the great work with The Printed Blog!

Jens last blog post..Gimme The Loot

don’t worry we’ll still be here

alexa – cleveland’s a plums last blog post..wine + bacon = good

rachel is wrong. i’m totally with you on the ‘pop’ thing, miss. as is the rest of canada, i believe. soda sounds so, 1950s?

i’m sure all your work at the printed blog is totally paying off & worth it, so don’t worry about us – we’ll all be here when you have the time to be writing!

ox.

sarahbelledotcoms last blog post..update.com

It always has been, and always will be POP!!!! are you a closet Canadian???

I realize this post was all about excuses, but all I can think of is…thank goodness there are people left in the world who say “pop”. I’m originally from the midwest – moved out east for college, etc. So it makes me feel happy to see/hear the word pop.

That’s all.

Mishis last blog post..Mind your p’s and q’s

Jamie, I am still reading! Like you, I am very busy too, and I understand blog neglect MORE THAN AAAANYONE.

I am very excited about the Printed Blog! I’ve read the paper issues will be distributed in Lincoln Park/Wicker Park, but where? I want a paper copy.

And PS – I’m starting a new Chicago restaurant review blog soon. When it’s up, I definitely want it to be a part of the Printed Blog. I’ll email you or one of the other ladies or gents at that time.

And last but not least, I can’t wait until Antarctica leaves the building!

Just a 20-something in Chicago trying to keep my head above water. Neurotic, over-thinking, shameless celebrity gossip addict, bad tv watching girl with expensive taste and no money but completely adorable, if I do say so myself.
