There were not enough hours in Sunday. I demand a recount and do-over

Apparently I've hit a blogging milestone here...anonymous spammers have discovered my blog and I've had to change my settings. While I'm flattered that you consider my post about using expired moisturizer and insisting my co-workers smell my face "a thought-provoking article about often-taboo subject matter", if I thought you were even remotely serious, I'd block your weirdo-ass because anyone who considers me an "inspiration" for using moisturizer gone rancid, you sir, are fucked in the head.

Update: I no sooner posted this and came across a post on this very thing . Check it out, it makes a good argument for changing your settings to not allow anonymous comments vs the dreaded captcha

In other news, I decided yesterday that my procrastination over pre-writing my posts for the A to Z blogging challenge has hit critical mass, because it starts next Monday and if I don't get at least a week's worth of posts written ahead of time, I am doomed to failure. I got down to business and hammered out posts A-F and now I'm feeling much less panic-attacky. The posts themselves were easy to write (probably because my theme is What I Hate from A to Z , and bitching about shit that pisses me off comes naturally) but what took the most time was finding the corresponding pics of the objects of my specific hatred. I have a general template now of how I want the posts to be and I even scheduled the posts so they'll be posted automatically at the same time every day. I'm so fucking organized at this point I don't even recognize myself.

Finally, the last two weeks have been busy as hell, which is what happens when you have 2 jobs and work 6 days a week. Not that I'm complaining, because I'm lucky to have 2 jobs, let alone 2 awesome jobs that I love, but my boss at the salon has been on vacation in Hawaii and I've been trying to make sure things have been running as smooth as possible in his absence, and the job at the school is always busy...between helping the students and checking their work when they have clients, and keeping them busy with assessments, assignments and wracking my brain to come up with new colour, cutting and styling techniques to demo for them (because they're super-enthused and constantly want to learn new stuff), there is barely time to breathe. Thankfully, I'm taking Easter weekend off...3 WHOLE DAYS IN A ROW!!!!!! I'm hoping the weather co-operates so Spielberg and I can get some golfing in, and other then that, I just want to relax and revel in not having any work obligations for 3 days.

Do you have plans for the long weekend?

    As for the long weekend, I will be taking my kids to the Smithsonian and baking a really kick ass ham.

    1. I'm so fucking organized, it's truly frightening. Ok, so it only happens once in a blue moon, but it's like an invasion of the body snatchers or some shit lol

      The Smithsonian is high on my must-visit-someday list...it looks soooo cool and I know my son would love it! Have a great weekend with your kiddos and enjoy the ham :)

  3. Enjoy your Easter weekend off! Girl, you have got it so together! I'm in awe. I'm on the fence about the A-Z challenge. I'm afraid I'll blow it, but I want to do it. You'll rock it!

    1. DO IT!!! I'm worried about blowing it too, but I figure if I have at least some of the posts prewritten, then I have some breathing room in case of almost-inevitable slacking off. Ideally I'd like to have them all written before the 1st, but that's not going to happen. I hope you decide to sign up, it looks like it's gonna be hella fun!

      Thanks, I hope you have a great long weekend too :)
