Geeky Talks
Excuses or reasons. I say both.
Well, I guess it’s time to let you in on a few things going on around here.
First, I’ve been hired over at swank web style. I’ve been working with Karen, doing coding, and will begin taking full design jobs again soon. It’s been fantastic thinking about something aside from teething, bottles, and entertaining my three year old (read: I type one handed while entertaining a three year old, feeding an infant and calling the pediatrician because why is my child getting fangs and where are his two top teeth? but this is nothing unusual to a working at home mom…)
You know those nerds that always say the obvious? Humor is, in my opinion, best when unexpected so stating the obvious is never a party-knee-slapper. So why did I feel the need to start a website based on the obvious? Why did I need to start a web site dedication to not being on the Internet?
I. Don’t. Know.
Because I wanted pretty colors?
Much to the Mister’s dismay, the site is remaining up and people are loving it. They are joining the revolution! They are going to parties and wearing their badge proudly! I love you for this. Because, if I get the quote correct, upon seeing the new site the mister declared, “You are kidding me, right? This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of.” Stupid or not, it’s staying. And you can join.
And not-so-finally, life with two kids just went up a notch. Two days before Christmas, Baby O started this….
Three days later he was so fast at it, I couldn’t keep up. Good for the waist-line, not for the blog.
So there you have it. It’s the thirty-two year old’s version of “My dog ate my homework.” (Incidentally, my infant did eat one of my BlogHer Ad checks. I used the ATM to deposit it so they wouldn’t say no. What a little drool/rip/tiny teeth marks among friends? That’s legal, right?)

A bit confused why everyone is going toward the window's phone layouts. I find those massively confusing. Oddly compelled to copy the trend.1 day, 41 minutes ago

I adore LB in the background
I heart Swank WebStyle. Good for you!
That crawling is so sweet! It makes me miss those milestone stages.
I have no excuse, none at all. Well except that I got a fancy new camera and trying to learn about it has consumed all my evening time (which is actually the 10 minutes between putting the monsters down and passing out.) But that’s not a real excuse.
You know I’m in.
And crawling!! I think my guy is going to “pivot and reach” for life, he has no interest at all.
Congrats girly on the Swank job!!!! They do awesome work.
I love the video of Baby O. I adore that little double leg kick at the end…it’s like an exclamation point!
I remember (vaguely…I was sleep deprived) working from home with Amelia and her entering the crawling stage and me thinking Oh shit, it’s time to start going into the office some!
Ok, first of all, what is WRONG with you? Don’t you know you’re not supposed to encourage added mobility? Seriously, when he starts learning to walk I want you to do the sensible thing and PUSH HIM DOWN. Gah.
Second, “based on a true story” almost made me piss myself, so thanks for that.
Third, Tell that man of yours to be supportive or we’ll make your ideas all seem brilliant JUST TO PROVE HIM WRONG.
Fourth, JOBS ROCK! So thrilled for you. Does this mean no more teaching?
And finally, you blogger just for me. Does this mean I get to call you my beeeotch now? Is that how you spell that word? I suck at ghetto.
Um, that should have read, “You BLOGGED just for me.”
I’m a winner!
I adore the new design, and love the video too. He just gets cuter!
We are SO proud of you! Keep doing what you love for the reasons you love to do it! We are behind you 100%!
Love the new look! Love the new idea! You know I’m in…
And that little guys is SO CUTE crawling! Don’t blink…everything else is gonna move ‘lightning speed’ from here on out!
I love your site design update. The green is great.
Congrats on Baby O crawling! woohoo! They are so adorable when they are learning new things and aquiring new skills.

Congrats on the new job! Hope you get some exciting projects and some actual time to do them! :0)
Congrats on the new gigs.
Baby O is the cutest ever.
Love the new colors and design, very nice. I also really like the concept of BlogGuiltFree, my husband is pushing less computer staring so yeah Im all over that one. And lastly, way to go Baby O. You are awesome! The Flinger home will never be the same.
The crawling thing was so cute my uterus just spasmed.
You have some cute kiddos.

Wearing my badge proudly!
Congrats on the crawling! Mine started walking on Sunday, her birthday… Life will never be the same.
Love the design.
O is so proud of himself I love when they first learn how to crawl. I also love that they only move as far as they have to and REACH and reach for what they want. So cute!
Wholly cow, you’ve been busy. Congrats on the new design job! And I can’t believe Baby O is crawling already. They grow up so fast.
