Pour me a little w(h)ine...

Which I may well consume, quite soon.

So, like, my day-job puts me through what my boss euphemistically refers to as our "peak period" at the very tail end of February through the first week of March. I, rather more accurately, describe it as hell-on-earth for 7 days straight. Either way, I'm in it right now and very nearly forgot that I promise/threaten the world with regular blog posts on Mondays. (Perhaps, Dear Reader, you're wishing I had forgot. I understand.) Well, here's this week's Monday post, such as it is, being composed on Sunday night, from my orifice. Uh, I mean, I mean my office, of course.

Meanwhile, I thought I'd pimp the blog hop I'm co-hosting with David Macaulay of Brits in the USA. We call it The Big Reveal (Hop Within a Hop) and it will take place on March 21, so there's plenty of time to sign up for it. There is one prerequisite for this hop, though: it's open only to peeps participating in this year's...

Blogging From A to Z April Challenge! If you don't know what the A to Z challenge is about, click here.

OK, that's all I got for ya, folks. I will try, in any spare bits of time I may be able to find in the next few 12-hour workdays, to come up with something worthwhile for Thursday. (Today, BTW, was a 13-hour work day. Just sayin'.) Meanwhile, say a little prayer for me (or sacrifice a virgin goat, or something).

(Just kidding about that last bit. It doesn't have to be a virgin.)

The Big Reveal ~ An Announcement About A Hop-Within-A-Hop!

My bloggy pal David Macaulay, over at Brits in the USA, recently posted about his reasons for signing up for the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2013. David was kind enough to give me a shout-out in the post, for which I thanked him, though I complained about how he hinted at having an A to Z theme at the ready but wouldn't reveal it. That's when the rusty gears in my brain unexpectedly groaned to life and I had AN IDEA:

(My comment on his post) OOOOOH, idea! We (and by "we," I mean you, me, and any mutual blogging pals who'd be interested in doing this) should do a pre-A to Z blog hop in which we all reveal our A to Z themes, just before April, all on the same day! Wotcha think???

Well, David seemed to think it a worthwhile prospect and so The Big Reveal (It's a Hop-Within-A-Hop!) was born. If you're also signed up for the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2013, then all you've gotta do for this blog hop is sign up on the linky-list below (Instead of "Your Name," type your blog's name), slap this badge on the sideboard of your blog and link it back to either me or David, then on March 21 you reveal your A to Z theme for 2013. Oh, and it'd be groovy if you checked out other participants' Big Reveals as well.

I should note that David and I are hosting The Big Reveal (Hop-Within a Hop) and that the good people over at Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2013 are not involved in, though they did inspire, it.

Looking forward to your Big Reveal!
