This is the sound of my brain collapsing in upon itself

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

I am dying to tell you about a new gig and a recent tour of an explosives testing facility, and a special media preview of the newly renovated (and very spiffy) Museum of Nature, and about a lovely Glebe-area home I got to poke around last week, and about the 2010 United Way Community Builder of the Year Awards Gala tomorrow night (I’ll be there too!) … but all of this will have to wait until I have More Time To Write.

Someone please tell me why everything tends to happen at once?

I’ll try to help reinflate your brain tomorrow night at the United Way event!

I think it has something to do with the saying “If you want something done, give it to a busy person.”

This is a good ‘parking lot’ so you don’t forget to come back and write about them later! Looking forward to it all!

Because people all come out of hibernation at once?

I hear you though. I too have a good four draft blogs that I have started, only to find myself caught up in other new things.

No… I was invited to attend as part of the media contingent.

Hopefully you find time to take a breath and focus!

It’s true – the next few weeks are dizzying. I had to write things down on post-it notes today because I don’t trust myself to remember everything going on. Not enough time!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
