Connected But Disconnected

I’ve spent the better part of the last two weeks working with The Housewife (which totally cracks me up because I have a mental image of a housewife and she just doesn’t fit that mold that I’ve made up in my head) and moving her blog to WordPress.

You should go look at it.

And tell her how awesome it looks.

Because I swear I thought she was going to be bald when all was said and done.

But Jo-Lynne posted yesterday about how she’s gotten away from the community of blogging because the business of blogging has gotten in the way and it really hit home for me.  I’ve spent so much time working on designing blogs and moving blogs and dealing with people who want me to do reviews and the like (not nearly on the scale that Jo-Lynne has) that I’ve not been around to see any of you… even to the people who are on my “must read” list.

Speaking of Jo-Lynne pulling her hair out with all that she’s been working on, let me tell you something.  She’s got a gift guide that’s going to be launched Monday, I think.  And moving her blog has it’s perks, as in, I’ve seen it.  You don’t want to miss it.  Seriously.

I’ve not twittered.  I’ve not read blogs.  I’ve not really responded to comments left here.  And I feel so out of the loop.

I don’t like it.

There are many of you that I have formed friendships with throughout the last two years and some of those are solely by way of comments, which is odd, but it is what it is.  I have come to wonder how your families are doing.  I’m wondering what all of you are up to.  And eventually, I’m going to come back to the land of the living and start making my rounds again.

I promise.

I just need about another week (or two) to get everything under control in the casa de Jacobson and then I can return to normal, or what I think normal is, because my world has been flip flopped upside down since football started in late July that I’m not even sure what normal is anymore.

But I know that I have to get back into the things I love and away from the things that are stressing me out, especially when they are things that I bring on myself.

And I love the relationships that I’ve built with you all.

So while I spent 80% of the time that I am awake online (ok, so maybe it’s not quite that much), I’m still very disconnected.

And I don’t want to be.

Until next time…
