The Crossroads
August 28th, 2009 | Posted by Shannon
Five minutes ago, I was about to send an email to Pauline Kenny, who designed this blog, to tell her I can’t do it anymore. It’s been almost a year since I wrote last, and I am not going to bore you with all the excuses I have for not writing in it. (OK, here’s one excuse – my head is splintering, and has been, with all the things I have going on. But an excuse it is, because I am good at time-wastage.)
I almost sent the email and then I stopped myself and said YOU CAN DO IT to myself.. hehe I’m a walking Nike Slogan (not.) And I started thinking about Benjamin Franklin, how he had this sort of datebook list of what he’d do every day like:
6 AM Wake up
7AM Wash, eat, read for one hour
8 AM study French
9 AM go over my accounts
And so on and so forth. I kind of wish I could do a schedule too, because then I could schedule in everything I am not doing and maybe it would work, like blogging. But schedules don’t work for me too well mostly because I never stick to them. And when I make other people try to follow MY schedule they pretty much just ignore me, laugh, or ask why I don’t have children.
I do have a trip to Spain coming up in three weeks. And after that trip some pretty interesting life changes. So, maybe it’s time to get Poptarticus back into the schedule or at least the, uh, thought of scheduling. It’s not like I don’t have a gazillion things going through my mind every freaking minute. It’s just that, I have forgotten how to blog about them.
Pauline spent a lot of time putting this website together for me, so for her, I am not going to just give it up. I’m really going to try this time. Stay tuned then, for my adventures in Valencia and Catalonia. And onward.

I always loved reading your blog and look forward to reading new posts. I think you just needed a good break away from blogging. Nice to see you back!!

Yeah! I’m so glad you will start posting again!
I look forward to hearing about your trip. Spain is my second favorite country in Europe, and someday I will go back there to visit.

I am excited about your new venture.
In that daily schedule of yours allow for some playtime, downtime, and naptime!

You were my inspiration to start blogging. I’m really really curious about your upcoming life changes. Really nice to see you posting again.

Yay! Adding my encouragement for you to return to Poptarticus. Yes, you can. 😀
