So I may as well embed this vid here, too, even though it’s already on Evil Beet. VERY cool organization that I went to the info session for tonight. I want to make Leo a therapy dog. He loves people, and everyone who meets him says he made their day a little brighter. I think it would be a good fit, I just have to get him a little better trained.
I have just had the BUSIEST day. It’s kind of weird being in a relationship — boyfriends take a lot of time. All of a sudden, I’m getting emails from people like, “Hey, I never heard back from you about XYZ.” That didn’t used to happen — I was 100% on top of everything. Now that I’m spending so much time with the boy, I’m not at my computer working all day, and I know that’s a good thing, and I love spending time with him, but it kind of puts me in a mini panic mode. For so many years now, my career has been my first, and, really, only priority, and all of a sudden I have this other big priority in my life. My gut reaction is that I’m letting myself down by not working all day. I know that’s not the case — I want to invest in my social life and in relationships, and I plan on continuing to make time for him — I’m just a little startled by having priorities other than my career. But I spent almost the whole day today working, so I’m starting to feel more on top of things. I know I can make this work — hell, Wendie does it while raising three children — I just have to figure out how.
Speaking of work, Zelda Lily continues to do fantastically. We hit yet another traffic record today, which is super exciting. It’s just so awesome and rewarding to watch the site grow. I love getting the pieces in from the writers — they are all so very talented and fun to read. I knew they were all good when I hired them — that’s why I hired them — but they each continue to grow and impress me. It’s a lot of fun to be a part of.
I’ve also had a lot of cool opportunities lately to do interviews and press for Evil Beet and Zelda Lily, which is WAY more time-consuming than I’d ever dreamed possible. I don’t know what on earth gave me the impression that doing press would be easy — it’s not. Now I understand why Kristen Stewart always looks so exhausted and stoned. But I’ve never been one to shy away from hard work, and I’m loving every minute of it, and I’m very grateful for the opportunities and the exposure.
