Seems I Got A Little Loosey-Goosy With The Subscribe Feature.

Blogging is serius bizness. Not only is it the writing, rewriting, editing, photo-finding/editing, posting, re-reading, re-editing and then re-posting. It's also seeking out fellow bloggers, leaving comments and finding other ways to shamelessly promote yourself without alienating anyone else. It's a full time job on top of a full time job, and sometimes the little things in life slip through the cracks.

Such as not noticing that it looks like Hurricane Laundry (Category 4) rolled through your bedroom.


EEP!

Perhaps it's time to take a couple steps away from the keyboard and set some stuff straight.


That's better.

Hey, did you happen to notice the testimony to my gnat-like attention span in the room? I mean, aside from all of it?

It's the stack of four unread magazines sitting on the shelf.



Four doesn't seem like such a big deal, unless you take into account the fact that I've acquired all four of them in the same two week span.

Through the mail.

Then the bills for the subscriptions came.

Ooooh yeah! I'd forgotten about that!

Seems magazine subscriptions via the internet should be a little harder to get. Perhaps Conde Naste Publications should include an "Are you sure you have the kind of time to read all these magazines?" button. You know, like G-Mail's drunken e-mail filter. I was high on the idea of being privy to all that fashion news. Now all my fashion news is making an awesome $30 per year coaster.

Perhaps this calls for a new feature here at Heart & Hairspray. "This Month's Mail." It'll be a monthly blog where I gather up and then review all the random magazines and offers I'd signed up for via the internet that month. Apparently when you subscribe to stuff online you find yourself also subscribed to things like the ugly cookbook catalog I received today.

I didn't know people existed in the world who still think the country goose motif is a good idea.
