Drawn Together by Modesty

I’ve spent a lot of time wading through old e-mails this week and last, and I am happy to report that I am done with July e-mails! But that’s 2007 July e-mails. I am so embarrassed to admit how far behind I am, but it makes me more real for you to know my “areas for improvement”…so they say.

Only 1183 more e-mails to go!

Yes, this is a blatant attempt to earn $12 for every person I get signed up for Amazon Prime Free Trial. But I really, really do LOVE this service, so I feel justified telling you about it. I pay an annual fee and then get free 2-day shipping from Amazon.com all year long. I’m in my second (or third) year using this service, and I love it. Since I do most of my shopping online, and most of that from Amazon.com, I easily recoup the annual fee by not paying for shipping for things I would have purchased anyway.

So what have I been buying from Amazon.com?

I finally realized I can put forth a public apology on my blog to all those waiting for an e-mail reply from me. I am soooooooo behind in answering my e-mails. I’m not kidding. They go back to at least 12 months. I intend to answer each and every one of them. I’m trying very hard to get on top of things. I’ve hired two assistants to help me, so hopefully I will be able to get through all my e-mails in the coming weeks.

It’s one of the drawbacks of working from home and being a mom.
