It's a well known fact within the community that is me that I am a bad finisher. I love starting new things, getting all fired up about it, gung-ho, etc. I enjoy that initial feeling of newness, the wonderment that is a path not taken before.
But then I lose interest. I'm a suck.
Case in point: I have, on two separate occasions, sold both Longaberger and um, toys. No, not the educational type, unless you count learning how good tiny little vibrating rabbit ears can feel as educational.
Side note: did you know that if you tell your 5 year old that your vibrator is a heating pad when he finds it one morning that it'll actually suffice? Neither did I until 3 years ago.
Back to the story. Both times that I did these home parties, I would get extremely excited about selling and would go to all lengths to get more sales. And then the boredom and tedium of running a business would set in and I'd let it go. I had awesome sales with both of these and why wouldn't I? Seriously, can you tell me of one other woman you know who could sell both baskets and kinky bedroom toys with the same fervor? I didn't think so, thank you very much. My secret? I knew my product. Intimately.
Sorry...tmi?
I do this with alot of stuff...I get all caught up in the moment and want to hit the ground running. If I could just pound it into my purty little head that you use more energy going fast, fast, fast all the time!
What in the fuck is the point of this rambling post? That sometimes I just can't blog. I have the best of intentions, I get thoughts started in my head and want to share with the world, but then I burn out before I even write them down. I just let the ideas die.
Same goes for reading your blogs. I want to read them, want to see how your days are going or if you have some epiphany that you have or possibly just to snort with laughter. Some days I just can't.
I don't know if it's that I can't muster up the energy or that I get so caught up in the mundane details of my exciting life or what. I know there have been times that I've been in a funk and don't necessarily feel like sharing (these are the dark days...some of you know what I'm talking about.) Other times it's simply that I sit in front of a computer for 9 hours a day and by the time I get home, I don't feel like sitting there anymore.
So, if you don't see me for a few days, don't give up on me. I'm still here, I'm just bored right now. It's not you, it's me. I'll get revved up again soon, I promise.
But, Ty? I still read you everyday, sister. I'm just having a hard time putting together a coherent thought to let you know I'm thinking of you. I guess I just did.

Rambling post? I stopped comprehending after "toys" and "knowing your products" :) Have a nice day.
I understand dark days. I understand not having much to say and I understand the boredom. Take a break for a bit, just don't be gone too long!
Email me if you want. My friggin' yahoo messenger won't work for some reason.
Oh, Sillychick!
I see the problem! You're using your PERSONAL time to blog! Not Payroll time! AHahah...j/k IT Dept...Juuuussst kidding.
I get that way with writing. Seriously, I have ideas scibbled all over receipts and stuff and STILL some days I just don't feel like I can put something together.
I think there is kind of a dark cloud over the world right now. Just seems so down, and I'm not only talking about recent events. Just as a whole.
Take it easy. Write when the moment strikes you. When you miss me (AND YOU WILL), I have archives. :)
I hear you-I tend to do the same thing-get really gung ho about something, and then lose interest. I've thought the same thing about blogging-there are so many days when it feels like I have nothing at all to say. And then a lot of days when I have a lot to say, but no time to put it into some articulate form. What I had to remember is that blogging is "supposed" to be fun-something for me-so I do it when I feel it, and when I don't feel it, I don't do it.
Come on back when you're feeling it. We'll all still be here.
Been there. Don't be gone too long or I'll have to come and track ya down. xoxo.
AND hahahaha love the vibrator tip!!!
You are not a suck! You have mommy ADD. It's common and I hear it goes way if you play with your toys more often. ;)
