The Party Is Over

I've been remiss in my blogging duties. In addition to not writing as often as I used to, I've fallen behind on all of my blogger friends' newest posts. The reason? I am incredibly lazy. I am starting a new job (today!) and have been in a mild state of panic in terms of Important Things to Do (such as ensuring I'm fully caught up on Mad Men). This new job will be a massive change. For the past 11 months, I've essentially been on what I like to call a SABBATICAL. Others might say UNEMPLOYED. I did some temp work, though, damnit, so there was a spell of, I don't know, several months where I worked off and on.

My new job, however, is full time. I'm told to expect 50 hours/week. Hence my mild panic. In addition to Mad Men, how will I:
  • Keep up with blogs?
  • Keep up with FaceBook?
  • Nap?
  • Wander out to the garden to remove a few weeds here and there?
  • Keep up with important TV shows?
  • Nap?
  • Be charmed by the different places my cats nap throughout the day?
  • Take pictures of my charming cats napping and send them to my husband?
Squeaky the Cat soiling what was a drawer full of clean, hairless socks.

Capt. Nap doing what he does best (and further soiling what probably WASN'T a clean, hairless pillow).
Anyway, this post is my lame attempt to:
  1. Get you to feel sorry for me (probably should have made my time at home seem a bit less...leisurely)
  2. Apologize for being bad at keeping up with you all recently
  3. Apologize in advance for being bad at keeping up with you in the near future while I adjust to my new lifestyle
Now I must get ready for my first day at work.
