Momma Mia, Mea Culpa

I just got married! In Vegas! By Elvis! To a complete stranger!

Okay so that’s just a bold faced lie, ya know for shock value, or a chuckle.

In all seriousness, I want to stop and appreciate all of you. (yeah you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you , and you, and you, and you, and you, and YOU, everyone else over here.) Every one of you have all been so helpful, supportive, and amazingly understanding through my funky week. Ya’ll have been even more awesome in the comments when I was feeling the urgent need to make some BIG.LIFE.ALTERING.CHANGE. At this exact moment, I could not be happier, or feel luckier to be a part of this little blogging community. I feel like I have developed some real friendships over these last few months. So, thanks, you guys rock! ☺

Speaking of that BIG change I felt I needed to make, I went ahead and took Greg’s advice (since he is the self proclaimed smartest man alive, agreeably on his way to world domination, and all the while maintaining the nicest elbows.) Instead of going all drama queen drastic, or turning what’s left of my life completely upside down (inevitably making matters worse) I went with making some simple changes.

I made a few non-impulsive / well thought out adjustments over the last few days that have really taken a huge weight off of my shoulders.

I have found yet another home (oh god, not a real house, or a geographic location change…remember…simple.) I found another home for one of my other blogs. I have left the 451 Press blog. I am no longer writing for Watching Sitcoms. This was a really hard decision to make. One decision that I wrestled with for awhile. While on the one hand it was my first professional opportunity to write in a public forum, restricted to particular topics, that required research. Much different than my usual long winded, never staying on the topic at hand posts, like over here. That learning experience was most excellent practice for me. On the other hand, I was constantly feeling like I was always under the gun with deadlines, and that damn feeling of impending doom that lingered over my head every day, like my insane and unfounded fears of always getting fired. (off topic: what is that about anyway?) Lastly and most importantly I was sacrificing a lot of time that could have been spent with my son (can you say shrouded in guilt!)

….Then, suddenly, like magic, it dawned on me. Hey? Wait… I already have a job, where I work really hard all day long for no money pocket change . It’s called my day job. I don’t need two jobs like that. Or two more stress-inducing factors. So, after some 12 days – non stop reflection – locked in my own four walls – and circling the drain consideration, I moved.

This is a new site. But, hey! Guess what? I am the owner, and author of this new site! YIPEE! I am now writing about TV: HERE! HERE! HERE! It’s all about TV.

My new TV home, is functional, but still very much under construction. The lay out needs to be adjusted a little, there will be some further redesigning of the page. Eventually the posts will be in the center of the page and all the other stuff will be in opposite left / right sidebars. There are a few other tweeks and kinks that need smoothing over. I am saving the best part for last. The best part, of course, will be developing the perfect kick ass masthead. (Any suggestion, or ideas are welcomed…*hint *hint)

I finally have a JOB (with a professional revenue generating blog) where I am my own boss. I will be able to write what I want, without being restricted to just sitcoms. And, since I am damn sure I won’t be firing myself, I won’t be writing with that perpetual fear of failure. That alone will allow for the joy of writing for that blog to return to me ten fold.

In the mean time, while these changes are being made on my new site, and the lay out is being played with, please bear with me, as well as any issues that may be happening over there for the next few days. We Leslie is really busy working out the design(s), and all of the linkage as we speak.

I am hoping that all of you guys will be just as supportive on my new page. If you really enjoy it, or if you happed to feel so inclined…maybe you would be so kind as to regale me with a special guest post? Written by any of you? About any of the TV show you may be watching? Or any of the TV show that you feel needs to be recognized or simply remembered? Please let me know in the comments / or shoot me an email, if you would be interested in posting a little something something over on my TV blog? Or if there is a specific TV show that you would like for me to write about? I know most of you probably don’t watch nearly as much TV as I do, since most of you have lives, but ya’ll are some damn fine writers and I would be honored if you wanted to post a little ditty.

That being said, aside from a few other personal issues I have yet to work through, which I will be sure to share with you, can I just say….. Ahh… change is good.
