I’m Purposely Vague

Tweet

 

Today, yes, I am going to be purposely vague.

I’m going to be one of those people who tease you with, “I’ve got news! But I’m not going to tell you what it is!”

I will tell you what it is.

Just not yet.

I can tell you this.

I have three exciting things to tell you.

The first one is sort of huge.

No, I’m not pregnant.

Though it feels like I’m birthing. It’s THAT huge!

Which makes me very, very nervous.

I’ve been working on this thing, this big thing I am dying, DYING, to tell you about, for a while now.

I want to be able to share it with you by early November.

Okay, more like mid-November. I hope. I really, really hope I’ll be ready to tell you then.

Second piece of news – it’s also pretty awesome.

I’ve lost you, haven’t I?

Here, a photo of my boys to distract you for a minute. They’re around the same age here – aren’t they cute?

5 month old baby boys

Okay. Back to my meandering.

You’re pounding your forehead on the keyboard shouting, “Just tell us what it is, for Pete’s sake, woman!”

But I can’t. I’m BURSTING to tell you, which is why I’m writing this, but I can’t, until it happens.

Let’s just say I’ll be involved with a fairly awesome website. Let’s leave it at that for now, okay?

Third piece of news is going to involve cookies.

You’re not surprised, are you?

All this means, I may be asking you to go somewhere else to support me, check me out, that sort of thing. I know it’s a real pain to click here, click there, read yet another thing. I do know that.

But this time? These three big things? I really need your support.

I’ve never called for favors here. But these three big things are so big and so important to me, I’m writing a pre-begging begging post.

Stay tuned, November is going to be a huge month. It’s also going to kick my ass, but at least, it’d be worthwhile.

Thank you for bearing with me.

Admit it, you’re just really thinking about the cookie thing now, aren’t you? Also, what are YOU up to?

The Product Reviews I’d REALLY Like to Do

Tweet

A few weeks ago, I wrote a letter to a PR agency indignant at their impersonal email and poor pitch of some silly jewelry items I will never like or need.

I have since been thinking about the products I’d really like to review. So PR agencies, if you have these brands as your clients, do call, okay? *bats eyelashes*

Thermomix

The Thermomix is apparently your “extra pair of hands in the kitchen” and do I need that.  People, this thing does it all! It (takes a deep breath): weighs, chops, crushes, emulsifies, whips, mixes, steams, blends, kneads, grinds, simmers, grates, mills and IT COOKS.

I think, therefore I don’t

Tweet

Wedding planner.

Dress shop owner.

Freelance PR consultant.

Cupcake creator.

T-shirt retailer.

Jewelry designer.

Party planner.

Freelance writer.

All endeavors I talked passionately about.

All things I had dabbled in for fun, as a hobby.

All interests I thought about making money from.

None transpired. Not from the lack of intention.

It was a lack of turning intention into action.

In my mind, I had already failed. I talked myself out of things. I told myself it wouldn’t work.

Deep down, I was just apathetic about these ‘ambitions’. I did not want to get off the starting line.
I still think and talk about all the stuff I can do. 
But I know I won’t.
This was for the prompt: Sloth, for The Red Dress Club.
