I FELL OFF THE FACE, BUT WORKING MY WAY BACK!

Yes, it's true - I fell off the face of the Earth. Oddly enough my demise began the day after school let out. I'd forgotten how busy life gets when you're trying to keep up with work and life while attempting to entertain two tweens 24/7, which left me completely slack in my blogging realm.

With one full week under my belt (and approximately 4,000 trips to and from GMU for AFYP acting camp - which was awesome, by the way) I finally feel like I'm getting back on track.

Back on track for me means blogging more AND getting my writing assignments completed on time. I've got some old business and new business to report on:

Warrenton Lifestyle Magazine printed my Local Bloggers article in their July issue - it's really big and features a lot of interesting folks who are blogging around Fauquier County. It's not on the website yet, but it will be soon. For those of you who've seen the article (especially if you're new here) the photo of my blog - not so much MY blog. They posted a photo of a Domestic Diva, instead of Domestic AdivaH - but you made it - you found me - you're here - and I'm happy to have you!

I started blogging at Blissfully Domestic as a green living and healthcare columnist, but it's a really cool site with tons of domestic goddess information and fun. For my stuff, check on the Healthy Bliss channel.

I've been writing lots of articles lately about bands and artists for the Fauquier Times-Democrat, which they typically put on their web site as well - The Shields Brothers will be playing at First Friday in Warrenton this Friday - that should be an amazing show!

I think I've written about 1,000 blogs on green remodeling by now for CalFinder.

And my latest conquest! I just officially (I think) became the Health columnist for a brand new magazine that's coming to newsstands and on-line. It's called The Household Manager -I'm very excited and my first column will come out next month with their premier issue!

No news on the book yet - still looking for that special someone to snatch it up and pay me millions to publish it. Ok, so I'd settle for thousands at this point - I'm really not that picky! Bargaining for Our Lives is the working title and no matter what I'll be launching a web site all about my book and healthcare info for the insuranceless and the insuranced who are willing to be personally accountable for their healthcare and the costs associated.

So, that's my professional achievements for the moment, in a large nutshell. Next time, I'll get back to the woes of boys, laundry, cooking hot meals on hot days (begrudgingly, mind you) and the swirl of domestic do's and don'ts that has become my life!
