I’m a bad blogger. I got the amazing opportunity to get some freelance (PAYING) writing gigs and I’ve been swamped. It makes me sad to be missing out on blogging time though, because I actually have several real party posts to write about!

Here is a sneak peek of the upcoming real party posts:

Fancy Pants Birthday Party

Woodland Baby Shower

Valentine’s Day Blogger Meet-Up

And, a party I’m working on: A Hunger Games Birthday Party



So, I’ll totally be back soon. I’m just tired of writing. I still love you and parties though.

Okay, not sure how to say this… But, I have a great tip on how to core (de-seed?) a pear. It’s so super easy. I saw it on a tv show a while back and thought it was brilliant. And, it is.

I forget what show I saw it on– sorry!

Tools: peeler, knife, melon baller, and ripe pears

1. Peel the pears
2. Cut the ends off the pears and then slice in half
3. Use the melon baller in the seeded area of the pear.

Easy peasy!

I wanted to share a few things I’ve discovered today that made me laugh and want to share.

1.  Google Reader lets your sort your feeds by newest, oldest, or by MAGIC. Yep, I choose magic.

2. The smartest most amazing kid (besides my own, of course) lives with the blogger at Sweetney. Freakin’ awesome is all I can say. The kid sure is acute. 😉

3. I will be writing a letter soon with the greeting, “Dear Self.” I agree that many of us (a lot of moms I know for sure) need a lesson in talking kindly to ourselves

4. I often think on how much originality is really out there any more, how much of my “inspired by others” projects should I post on-line, and the best ways to give credit where credit is due. Ashley Ann starts a great discussion on these topics.

I’m spending my weekend working at slinging drinks and food at the bar I work at and a BUNCH of writing. I have three big deadlines for stories I’m working on and have to somehow get 50 pages of actually useful and interesting writing done in just two short days. 
Procrastination is going to kill me one of these days.
What is on your plate for the weekend? 
Hopefully its full of tasty sweets, unlike my healthy and piled-high plate.
