Yes, I’m a cliche
By Betsy Richter | 10:22 amI’m going to write one of those whiny but I’m sooooo buuuuusy! posts. Tooooo Busy to Blog.
But instead of a whine and dash, I’ll give you the capsule version about why I’ve been away:
- Work. Crazy. Busy. MustStopSoon
- Kids. Require food and clothing and stuff. Require care and feeding. Require transportation here and there and everywhere. Extra bonus: Back to School evening meetings!
- World. More evening meetings aren’t great —but I suck it up and attend them anyway. Either that or I suck at saying no to people/organizations, ugh.
- Me. I’ve been carving out time for me. Shamelessly announced I was having a birthday party (disguised as an OurPDX meetup) and that I’d stay ‘as long as people were buying me drinks.’ (Hooray! Many people bought into the ploy; I’ve consumed enough gin to last me for the rest of the month.) I’ve attended debate viewings, dinners with friends, late-evening soirees and more. Fun!
Things I’m passionate about lately: Building communities & relationships, both off- and online. Buying local foods without going bankrupt. Watching political YouTube videos. Reading Really Crappy mind-candy books when I can’t sleep. And reclaiming the home television over the objections of Ms. Drama Mama, who thinks it’s her own personal possession.
Things I’m looking forward to saying goodbye to: Sarah Palin (and even Tina Fey’s impersonation of same.) Demanding volunteers who don’t much respect the day job gig. People who froth at the mouth about politics.
Things I’m looking forward to: Bourbon season. Clean sheets. Soup weather.
What are you up to these days?

That was a lot of blog for it not being a blog. Nice.
