I know most of you follow through Google Reader, so you probably haven't noticed the few little updates to my site. In the sidebar, I'm now linking to my Spreadsheet, Wishlist, and Swaplist (though that one is still a work-in-progress). My Spreadsheet hasn't been updated since late July (yikes!!), but feel free to browse and if you see something you want swatched, either leave me a comment or hit the Contact Me button. Sometimes I'm not sure what to try next - the current thing you are seeing everywhere or something totally different? Let me know what you want to see!
Also, I'm trying to get into Twitter. I just don't get it though. I mean, I do... but how the heck do you keep up with everyone? I'm only following 22 people, but I can't keep up! Suggestions?
I don't have a Facebook account, but I'm trying out Google+ to see how that goes. You can add me by email I think... it's threnodynx @ gmail . com.
While I've always been a big fan of technology and being social on the web, for some reason I am really struggling with all this social media! I hated MySpace (only had one because a friend made me, I deleted it 2 years ago), I don't like Facebook (I'm a boss - I don't want my employees to know all about my personal life, mmmkay?), and Twitter is just like WTFBBQ?!!>?! when I start looking at my stream. However, it's important in this day in age to be visible on something, ya know? Email just isn't enough! *shakes head*
It's been especially different since the whole MUA Nail Board split thing. I think I moved to the new one. I say think because I don't really feel like I'm a part of either community now. I don't lurk on the new one as much as I did on MUA, but I also haven't developed that close bond that so many others have. I'm leading a Lynnderella group order though, so maybe that will help? I haven't posted on MUA since the split, and I haven't even read the board in a few days. Trolls galore and the community has just changed. A lot of lovely ladies I have gotten to know are not posting on either board, and I think that is part of the problem for me. I can't keep up with all the different subforums on the new one, but I don't like MUA anymore. *sigh* So now I need some kinda social media to stay connected. *grumbles*
My blog turned a year old Labor Day weekend, and I also hit 100 followers the week before. Plus I turned 30 two weeks before that. I promise, I am going to do something to commemorate such a special occasion, I just haven't gotten to it yet. What would you guys like to see in a giveaway? BN or swatched once? HTF or LE seasonal collections? I have access to Meijer, which usually gets LE drugstore collections when they are HTF throughout the rest of the country. Frankening supplies? Makeup? I'm actually quite makeup-addicted, though I don't feature it on this site. I have A LOT to learn about applying it, so don't worry, you won't be seeing it here. Foreign polishes? I would appreciate any feedback you might have. I'm always broke, so I want my one year giveaway to be something special - there won't be another one for a long time! :D
I want to say THANK YOU to all my followers - it means so much to see your little pictures in my sidebar. I especially want to thank those early supporters who inspired me to keep going - Jaybird, Kris in Philly, Lindsay, Cilucia, and many others. If those of you who had blogs hadn't followed, a) I wouldn't have any followers, and b) I probably would have given up early on. I know what I have here isn't top-notch, but I am proud of it and the work I've put into it.
In personal news, today is Daniel and I's 7th anniversary! He has to work all day today though, so not much fun. We are going to see Elsinore tonight, which is an amazing band, plus they are local, so it's the best of the best. And I got the tickets free through my work! We are both on vacation starting Monday (well, mine started Saturday), so yay for no work! Daniel is taking me on a mystery vacation from Tuesday-Friday - I have no idea where we're going! If you knew Daniel, you would realize this is totally out of character for him, but I'm loving it! I know that we're staying in the state, that we haven't been there before, there will be wine there, and he expects us to be able to walk wherever we want to go. ?!?!?!? I'm totally clueless! I was assuming we were going to the bed and breakfast we stayed at on our honeymoon and we were going to hit the wine trails of Southern IL, but he said we'd never been to this place before... and we can walk everywhere. That is definitely not Southern IL, as he lived there for 5 years, we visit often, and there is no way you can walk to anything down there.
Sooo... I won't be posting or anything until at least Friday. That shouldn't be a big deal, considering I go weeks without posting! lol I will try to check emails, but it might only be once a day, so if you do send me feedback on everything I asked for up there, please understand I might not get back to you until I return. I thought about scheduling a post while I was gone, but I don't think I will have the time. I put the Google+ app on my phone, so if you are interested in finding out where I'm going, add me - I'll be updating on my way!
I hope you all have a great week. Thank you all SO much for your support! *hugs*
