I officially really suck

At posting that is. I never seem to have anything really that good to say so mostly I suck.

I am also behind my wife, who is on the portal still (I’m in the at home category now) and I seem to have fallen behind as well.

Hehe, oh well. No need for a 50 word minimum now at least!

First Evar

Today is my first ever holidailies posting, and in a style which is true to form, it’s a day late.

I only came to know about holidailies after I met my now wife Jaime. Some things this woman didn’t tell me about are the piles of yarn she will accumulate, the knitting needle sets she will have to buy, or the way she is part of this online cult^H^H^Hlub which posts miscellaneous bits of their lives for google to index and remember until the matrix swallows us all. I did know that she was an avid journal-mistress but I was unaware of the extent of her mistrossity.

Every other year she has made a fairly solid effort but last year she had problems doing holidailies as she was also dealing with being a new mommy, which is a lot of work in itself, and trying to organize all of us for a vacation to paradise to see her parents for Christmas. She had lots to post about, just no time or energy to manage it. This year I thought I would help.

I made a deal with her that I would attempt to also post every day, kind of a "keep up with the husband’" thing because she secretly loves to be challenged that way (at least in my mind…). So it came to be that yesterday was December 1, 2007 and it has slipped my mind how I was going to post and get my post out first and then use that the bait her into getting her post up before midnight…

So far it’s backfiring when last night around 1am I was reminded that I needed to write my post. I saw her post scroll past my RSS ticker line in my browser while I was at work, so now I’m playing catch up.

Her mistrossities online journal-world is now formally introduced to her husband. Please, have mercy on me and accept yet another journal owner who can’t meet his own self imposed deadlines.
