It turns out that homeschooling, running three (or so) businesses, and blogging are a lot for Karen. Slacker. Of course, for me, just blogging is a lot. When we added the online radio show to the mix we both came precariously close to being committed to a nice, comfy hotel with pillowed walls. And the nice thing about that hotel? They provided complimentary pajamas. Weird though, that the arm holes were in the back. Still trying to work that out.

Since I couldn’t figure out the pajamas, I suggested we cut our stay at the "hotel" short and just stop the madness already. Karen barely let me get the words out before she said, "Yes."

All that to say, Hey! Thanks for listening to Behind the Blog. It was fun to host, fun to talk to our guests, and we learned a lot. Unfortunately, Karen and I have projects that, you know, might actually bring in money at some point and we need to focus on those. So we are no longer going to host Behind the Blog. It may come back at some point, but not this year.

We really do appreciate our listeners. Thanks for tagging along while we tried something new. I met new bloggers and Tweets and that’s always a good time. Thank you!

From now on (we hope!) Behind the Blog will air at 7pm CST. We have enough listeners that we are able to move to prime time! Thank you to everyone who has joined us in the past and/or downloaded our archives. We appreciate you all so much!
