No Rest for an Amateur TGirl

You know, considering that 90% of my waking hours that aren’t spent at work are spent working on my website (the other 10% go to cleaning the house or playing broomball), I really don’t understand how I get so far behind some weeks! I never realized that running a website was so much work until I really got into it. I mean, you can run a website casually, just post some pics every now and then when you feel like it, and that’s no big deal. But if you actually feel obligated to update every week (which I do!), plus write diary entries (private ones for members only ), plus keep up all the extra features (like my virtual searchable crossdressing closet, my rotating favorite pictures, my gallery of paintings that have been done of me, etc), plus keep up with industry contacts and market the site . . . it’s easily a full time job plus some. And then there’s this blog on top of everything, which I love, but it takes time too!

Well hopefully things are calming down, because I owe everyone some posts on here. And I need to do some more photo shoots. And I’m trying to redecorate my den (ie hang curtains so the neighbors can’t see me prancing around in pantyhose and high heels )

Even TGirls Have Real Life Problems

I had all sorts of plans for my time off work over the holidays to catch up on TheCrossdresser.com, write some great posts here, finish a few projects, and get some work done around the house. But no, apparently life had other plans for me. Never fails, right?

I sat down at my computer yesterday to get down to some serious TGirl work when I see a note that my website is offline . . . that’s never a good start to the day, and wasn’t going to do much good to work on my site if it didn’t even exist. So obviously I decided to investigate. And to make a long story short, there was either a malicious attack on my site, or my hosting company can’t count. At the moment I think the odds are about 50/50, and I’m not expecting to actually find out what happened at this point. The result, however, was my site being down for the entire day (don’t worry, it’s back up now!).

Then, to make things even better, 15min into my above investigation there was a huge crash from upstairs . . . apparently my ceiling fan decided that it didn’t much like being on the ceiling anymore, because when I ran upstairs I found it on the floor.

So ALL day yesterday and half of today was wasted taking care of these two emergencies. Hopefully tomorrow will actually be productive . . .

Photoshoots Today

Today is photoshoot day for my website (TheCrossdresser.com, but you knew that already). Takes several days of preparation – getting ready to shave, putting together sets and outfits, etc. Between getting ready, changing outfits, and actually taking the pics and video, I’ve been working for 7 hours already, with at least one more set to do tonight.

Ran out of tape on the camera though, and don’t have enough disk space to download! There’s a sign I have too many photos of myself on my computer, right? So now I’ve got to sit around in my boobs and a t-shirt (they look good in a t-shirt though, believe it or not!) waiting for 10 or 15 gig of files to copy over to my other computer so I can dump the video tape and get on to the next set. Rough life, right?

At least I’ve got something fun to play with under my shirt . . .
