A Little Bit Tart, A Little Bit Sweet Turned Three

5 Replies

This happened last month. I had this whole blogiversary bash planned out. But … do you guys remember last year? When I was trying to figure out a blogiversary prize? And then I joked that I was going to give everything to me?

Well… I kinda did that this year. :X

Let me explain.

I slacked off. Shamefully. I really stressed about it, and stayed up until 3AM or later on some nights, bu then I was like … you know what? This should be fun. And I do deserve a present. >.> This year has been … well, usual. From a death in the family the first week, to more deaths and drama and stress, and … just you know, it’s ok, and not ok. And that’s just how it is.

Then nearly every time I try to do something Firefox is just a bitch. I know it’s my fault, for having like a trillian windows open >.> But you have no idea how irritating it is to constantly deal with the spinning rainbow wheel of doom.

And damn. I didn’t want this to be an all whiny bitchy post. But to explain. I feel like I should say sorry, but I also can’t because I’m not sorry. I mean, I’m sorry for letting people down, for dropping the ball, but I’m not sorry I did it. (So wouldn’t that make this one of those hated “I’m sorry you got hurt” apologies?)

I WILL post everything, and back date, and do what I was supposed to, and starting now keep on schedule to the best of my abilities. I wanted to explain, and also to say THANK YOU for sticking with me, for being the strong, and for allowing me to give myself the gift of doing “nothing.”

I also want to blog about what I’ve been reading more – ME. And I welcome all of you to join me. <3 Then hopefully you like the new things I have planned in 2014.

Hugs and kisses!

 

Bad Lime Breaks the Schedule

14 Replies

So … I’ve lost my mind [and internet] and somehow have signed on to do a few blog tours, but this shit has just gotten to be too much and … I’m out. I mean, I never really felt in with that … but now I’m declaring myself out out of it.

One thing I hope you’ve noticed about A Little Bit Tart, A Little Bit Sweet (which, incidentally, is the actual name of my blog – and I often refer to it as ALBTALBS) is that we only have original content. Original, and exclusive. I might have somehow morphed into more of a promo blog (and *cringe* there), but at least I have new shit.

I don’t have many rules, and often can’t even manage to follow my own posting schedule … but this is something that I feel strongly about. There’s a hard rule. You wouldn’t believe the number of people who seem to have trouble with those comments.

I know I’m preaching to the choir, and ranting at the wrong people … but anyway, what was supposed to go live on Tuesday … won’t be.

And as justification, I give you this. Courtesy of Merriam-Webster.

original:

1 archaic :  the source or cause from which something arises; specifically :  originator

2 a :  that from which a copy, reproduction, or translation is made

 b :  a work composed firsthand
3 a :  a person of fresh initiative or inventive capacityb :  a unique or eccentric person

and

exclusive:

1 a :  excluding or having power to exclude
b :  limiting or limited to possession, control, or use by a single individual or group
2 a :  excluding others from participation
b :  snobbishly aloof
3 a :  accepting or soliciting only a socially restricted patronage (as of the upper class)
b :  stylish, fashionable
c :  restricted in distribution, use, or appeal because of expense
4 a :  single, sole <exclusive jurisdiction>
b :  whole, undivided <his exclusive attention>

So yeah. If either (both) definition doesn’t fit … the post won’t go up at ALBTALBS. (Unless I don’t know about it – I can’t check everything – but if you ever see it, do let me know. Then we can watch me bring the wrath of God down on the offender.) 😀

Happy “Tuesday!”

Guess What? Winners What!

Yeah, it’s not supposed to be a joke. 😛 I DO have a favor though – if you’d please go here and “vote” on a domain name… Or suggest one! I’ve got some time because of course I’m still thinking. (Or I could rush right in. Who knows. The latter isn’t like me… but… )

Gayle Donnelly and Robyn Mackenzie visited and their lucky winner is randomizer.org says TrishJ wins!

And… Zoë Archer visited on Tuesday. She’s in Italy right so I don’t know – that doesn’t quite seem fair. At all. In fact I feel like I should delete her post. >:( Heh. I’ll be a good girl though. Her winner? The lucky winner is… Laurie!

Winners – as usual, you are to contact me via the handy dandy form, with your pertinent information as well as a “description” of what you won. (Which just means what the prize is.) You have until Saturday, May 12, at 11:59 PM EDT to contact me.

Heh. WordPress doesn’t post the timestamp… I had this window open at 3:11 AM and I was just… no. Could not do it. We’ll pretend it was Saturday though. Also, see what happens when I’m timely? So few winners! 😉 Maybe I should just be tardy all the time.
