175th Post (how's that for suspense?!)

I am alive. I am well. I am busy.

I appreciate all of the phone calls, emails, Monk E.Mail (Jill), cards,posts, and comments devoted to making me feel loved and welcome in the Blogging community once more. The truth of the matter is I just got busy- like almost overnight, and I’m trying to learn my new life. It’s funny (and sad) because I am probably still less-busy than most of you, but for me this is a new skill to be mastered. My calling keeps me only a little bit busy so far, but that coupled with Imaginisce (more to come…) keeps me pretty busy. Add that to my anal-retentive housekeeping regime, and you’ve got a tight ship to run. I don’t think I’ll always feel so busy, but while I adjust I am, well… adjusting. So to explain the rumors of my blogging no more threats, I did say that I might be getting sick of blogging. (*gasp!*) In fact, I think it was more of a confession. After some time, I decided that’s not really true. With all the other things that I felt took precedence, blogging was feeling like more of a task, a responsibility that I had to do. Thusly, I didn’t feel like it. You see, there are two lessons about myself that we can glean from this:
1. I really am ‘All or Nothing’ about everything!
2. I allow myself to get overwhelmed
3. I place strange guilt on myself for strange reasons.
So that’s three. I thought of another one. I will try to blog often, but I hate to say that I doubt it will be everyday.
I hate recap posts, but sometimes it must be done. I will try to be brief, and henceforth blog more often so that I do not have to do these pesky and boring posts.

Imaginisce: I am pleased to say that I am working on their Product Development and Design team. It doesn’t pay great- at least initially, but it’s fun, a great company, a great opportunity, and fun! So far I go up there on Thursdays for a couple hour design meeting where we hash out ideas and finalize things. (Okay I’ve only been once so far, but that;s what we seem to do.) They seem to really like me so far, so keeping my fingers crossed it will continue to go well! I am excited about the opportunity, and hope it simultaneously takes off and doesn’t take off so that I can still mainly be a stay at home home.
And of course, I have Jenn to thank for all of this! Yay for Jenn!

Relief Society: I taught my first lesson last Sunday. My first lesson about anything. I’ve never taught anyone anything in my life. Probably for a good reason, since I am not really qualified to teach more than how to properly retrain a fractious cat. That said, I think it went well. AS well as could be expected- I taught from the Conference talkt hat Elder Hales gave on, surprise! Choice, and agency-a favorite topic among many of us. I loved that talk. I’m also glad I don’t have to do it for another 3 months.

Bella: She’s still great, she’s still sweet, and trying hard not to give me any trouble as I sort out my new schedules.

5:30am: That’s what time I’ve been getting up for the last week to go to the gym with Robin. It’s going famously, and I must say that I love it! It’s a great system we have because she picks me up, so we both have to get up. No excuses. I’ve really been loving it, but it results me a mandatory nap during Bella’s first nap, thus reducing my productivity.

That not withstanding, yesterday I cleaned my house top to bottom, every surface, lick-the-floor clean. I finished today with the bathrooms, went grocery shopping, took a nap, went to Target and Costco, washed, folded, and put away 6 loads of laundry, and wrote this post. After Bella is in bed I will work on Imaginisce assignments.

There. I posted for the first time in…almost 2 weeks!
I am sorry to anyone who has felt neglected in more ways than just blogging. I am well, and trying to do better. I also apologize if I gave anyone a scare that I might be depressed. Tis not so, I am just busy by standards, normal by all of yours. (If only in this regard-)

Thank you for the outpouring of love. I have missed my little community of friends, near and far.

Yay! I am glad you decided to post. I totally understand the all or nothing thing. I am always trying to pretend I am balanced - I am not!

The job sounds great and right up your alley. Would the job justify DSL? Just a time saving thought...

How did I not know you hate recap posts. My blog must be a form of torture for you.

I taught on Sunday too and am also REALLY glad I am done for a few months.

Congratulations on the gym - you are inspiring - not in an I'm going to do it kind of way - more of I'm glad SOMEBODY can.

Glad to see you back on line! Welcome back from your brief inactivity. Congratulations on a good week at the gym. Once you get in the habit, it is much easier...especially if you have someone counting on you to go. KEEP IT UP!

I must admit I was a little worried there but figured you got busy since you stopped writing about the same time you had your interview. Congrats on the job! Even if it doesn't pay that great, the term "design team" sounds really cool and important. You are already a scrapbooking celebrity in my book Jessie!(I don't know if that matters much coming from a non-scrapper like myself but its true!) Welcome back to blogging and to the busy world of working from home!(Hence the reason I don't have a blog of my own...well that and Jared thinks all the pedafiles on the internet are going to find our house through my blog...)

Jill said...

I'm so glad you're back. I'd like to say I hope we didn't pressure you into coming back, but really I feel like I'm glad we got through to you. I know you're life is now crazy busy so you can adjust to whatever amount of blogging works for you. It's hard for me to imagine you stopping completely because you've been so entertaining and enthusiastic about it all this time. Anyway, do what you must, but know that your audience awaits you anxiously.

I'm excited about your new job and think it's a perfect fit for you.

I'm sure you're great at your new calling and did a wonderful job teaching on Sunday.

So glad you posted! Now you can cross that off your list for a few days. I am excited to see what you came up with for the meeting this Thursday- I am sure it is awesome as usual. Mya is already asking to go to Bella's house to see her cats- too funny.

Way to go with the gym- you two are going to be buff in no time.

charlotte said...

Jessie! I'm so glad you updated us--your extended blogging hiatus was unexpected, but definitely understandable. I'm so excited for you with the Imaginesce opportunity--that's so exciting! I'll have to call you sometime soon because I fly out to Salt Lake in less than three weeks! Ah! I'm so excited to see you so soon and I'm glad you're back in the blogging world--we've missed you!

Diana said...

Your lesson was really great. Leann and I had to tell Lou all about it. It really gave me a lot to think about, and I went home and reread the talk. So if anything you touched me.
I'm glad you're going in the morning with Robin, too bad going at night with me didn't work out. As long as we are all healthy, that's whats important. The 5k is on September 30. Jessica Hammond and I are siging up, we'd love you to do it too.

roastbeefstew said...

hooray for jobs! don't feel bad i haven't posted once on my other blog since i started here. and i only post here when i have something to post about. by the way i'm going to be an uncle. ian and susana are having a baby!

michelle said...

Hooray, you're back!! I'm sure your public is very happy. It can be hard to juggle things around when you add new responsibilities into the mix, but I for one am glad that you've put blogging back into the equation.

So excited for you about the Imaginisce opportunity. And envious that you're on your way to fame and fortune...

(You do put strange guilt on yourself for strange reasons, don't you?)

TX Girl said...

So happy you are back. Really- the thought of never seeing those freaky cats again was getting me down.

I am excited you don't have to work at Walmart and get to use your fabulous talent instead. I can't wait to see what y'all come up with.

Give yourself a break- blog at your own pace.

Congrats on the gym. With all your added tasks, I'm sure going to the gym is helping to relieve some stress.

Alison said...

yay!!!!

Angie said...

Hooray! I have been secretly reading(not commenting)on your blog since I began blogging in April. So glad that I can now check your blog periodically and find humor, advice,and entertainment.
Congrats on teaching (I hate to be in front of anyone)and am glad you are done for a few months.
I'm impressed with your gym routine. I did the 5 am workout for a few weeks but have returned back to mid morning. I was useless when I went that early. Glad it is working out for you.

jenny said...

I am glad you decided to stay in the blogging network. Though, I have never met you we always read wonderful things about you from Michelle and Jill.

I know exactly how you feel when you do that to yourself I do the same thing. The put it all in or nothing attitude.

Way to go getting up to go to the gym. Not sure I would be that motivated SOO early in the morning.

Anonymous said...

I would like to say that I have missed your posts, but I myself have been so busy that I haven't had time to check the blogs! This is precisely why I don't blog--I'm afraid I would get too busy and then be stressed by yet another thing that I'm not doing well.

I do enjoy reading your posts, however infrequent. And--very excited about the scrappin' job.

everything pink! said...

yea. welcome home!
we have missed you.

jenn said...

it sounds like you are good busy- I was anxious to hear about Imaginesce! Glad you are enjoying it! I will love all your updates, sadly I hear from you more than Joan.

thanks for the sweet package, my girls are dying at all the tags!

good luck with all you are doing- I know you'll figure it all out!

Bond Girl 007 said...

Oh I think I understand your stance on ALL or NOTHING I struggle with this too...and it does get in your way (or doesn't) funny how it works...glad to hear you are doing well with your new job

everything pink! said...

Good day! 

Why do dogs eat their poop? One reason dogs eat their poop is because it just plain taste
good. Another reason is it could be a vitamin deficiency. One other reason for the poop
eating is that it is an instinctual behavior in the wild to eat the poop to keep other predators
from tracking their movements.

Some solutions for stopping poop eating are: You can put meat tenderizer on it.

What do you think?

Wow, I've found the same to be true too!  How did you find that?  

See you soon! WonderGirl
