Just as this post suggests, it’s full of rambles. I rarely talk about myself, so it’s time that I do. I think what has kind of kept me from blogging about myself more is this one thing that I have been needing to finish for months. If I have time to blog about what I’m doing, I guess I can squeeze in some time to finish what I’ve started. I wanted to have it done by BlogHer because I don’t know how things will be looking afterwards. I may need some down time. I want to redesign my blog, but again, I’ll feel guilty knowing I need to finish that one thing. I’m trying to get better at managing my time. I’ve been obsessed lately because I feel much better when I’m not ridiculously behind. Things are easier on days that Jayden is visiting with his grandparents; like now.
I added a link to my disclosure policy in my post template just so any newcomers are aware of how I do things around here. Disclaimers at the end of posts are icky little things. I can’t stand them. In my case, if I’ve receive a product in exchange for my services, I state that in the body of the post. I feel a disclaimer at the end of the post after I’ve already stated my relationship with the company would belittle my readers. If I’m working on a specific campaign that requires a disclaimer; fine. I may, however, roll my eyes before inserting it into that post. But for reviews, I’ll continue to state who sent me what without the redundant disclaimer at the end. I just want to be honest without turning off my readers.
I’m preparing for BlogHer. I need a few tops, leggings, maybe a dress, and a cute bag that will fit my laptop and camera. I’m also trying to figure out how I’m going to pack 5 days worth of clothes in my carry-on. When flying, I hate lugging around too much and I love the comfort of knowing my bag will land where I land. Maybe if I roll everything up and only pack two pairs of shoes, I’ll be able to. *shrug*
I need to get an eye exam so that I can order some new glasses. My current glasses keep sliding down my face even after adjustments and it’s getting really annoying. I miss my black frames, so black will probably be my choice for the next pair. I’m dealing with eczema flare ups on my cheeks and neck. It ain’t fun and I’m hoping my skin will play nice during BlogHer. We need to get Jayden over to a new pediatrician, someone worth giving our money to. I’ll give them a call Monday.
That’s all for now. We’re having Chinese for dinner. We’ll probably watch a movie or two and play some Wii. Massages are also in order.
If you’re stopping by from the Social Parade, hey there! Leave a comment so that I can visit you!
About Sheena
That's really smart to only take a carry on. 2 pair of shoes is a great idea. Sometimes we complicate stuff a bit much with all our accessories. Enjoy Blogher!

I get the cheek breakouts too. My left cheek gets the hives the worst and then the other pimples up. I have a love hate relationship with my skin. It's time we wash our linens. I want to get some satin pillow cases and see if that helps.
Yep, BlogHer is in August. I wanted to go to the Disney SMM conference, but too much was going on with us at the time. Maybe next year.
It seems that I always have something open this time of the year hovering over my shoulders. I've been pretty good at not adding too much on my plate though. It's just this one thing that's taking longer than expected.
I hope you guys enjoyed your Friday night!
I love reading your comments

I can't believe you would want to redesign your already perfect blog. You know how many of us drool over how nice it is? I guess as women we can't ever be happy with things as is, we must change things around every so often. I also don't care for the end of post disclaimers. I do it if the sponsor requires it. I have often wondered if there is someone from the disclaimer police looking for who they can bust for not following protocol. Okay, this is supposed to be your ramble so I will stop now. On another note, I hope you find Jay a great Pediatrician you will be happy with. Also remember that you can not always do it all. Give yourself some credit and tackle whatever is priority in your life. Have a great weekend Sheena

Changing my blog is free, so unlike redecorating every room in our house over and over, it's what gives me my fix without going broke. I used to fear for being thrown under the bus by some disgruntled person of the media or some judgmental blogger with a stick up their you know what, but now I don't care. Back to the basics being me, doing things my way. I'm honest, so it doesn't matter. Working on those priorities…
We've honestly been slacking. Trying to tackle them…almost there

The convention sounds interesting (I checked out the website). Have you been before? I hope you have a great time. You sure prepare well in advance. I usually pack the night before. I actually missed a flight once doing this cause I was so tired the next day I overslept.

I attended BlogHer '09. It was convenient because it was right here in Chicago. I usually pack for 1-2 day trips the day before. Since this is a longer trip, I have much more to pack. I need to start thinking about it now. I also don't want to be up all night because I have quite a few engagements I've committed to the day I arrive in NY. I'm hoping to have a blast. I'm going with a new blogging and networking perspective than last year.

I hate adding those disclosures too. I made one the other day in Photoshop thinking it would be easier to insert at the end but I feel like it's just not doing it. I like the old days where this all wasn't necessary.
One of my cheeks is suffering from pimple breakouts and I don't know what is causing it. Maybe the phone, but most likely my pillow case.
Oh how I wished I could go to BlogHer. I have never been, the only media conference I have been to was Disney in February for Social Media Moms. However if I would have thought about asking for sponsors for BlogHer way back maybe I'd be in NY in August. {that is when it was, right?!}
Anyways…I hope whatever it is your working on that you get it finished soon. I don't like working on one thing for a long time however it seems my procrastination all the time keeps my task book full.
MMMM! Chinese, yummy! I haven't had it for months now. I think it's about time to order some take out.
Movies and Wii sound like a perfect Friday night. We are all getting ready to play a board game together, Ring O Flamingo and then after the kids are in bed Zack and I are gonna watch Dear John. Guess I'm in the mood to cry!
Have a great weekend!
