Whoops

Posted on by

Did I ever tell you about that one time D and I forgot our anniversary?

Actually, it was two times.  …and we’ve only been married for two years.

Which means we’ve missed 100% of our anniversaries as a married couple.

So it really shouldn’t have come as a surprise when I realized that I missed my first blogiversary a few weeks back.

Happy blogiversary to me?

 The timing of my realization was a little uncanny because I’ve just been feeling kind of… blah.  Uninspired.  Bored. 

I blame it on a couple things. 

1) The God awful heat.  If I were prone to cussing… I would be cussing about how many days in a row we’ve hit triple digits.  It makes me cranky.  It makes me want to draw the curtains, hunker down in the AC with my fall edition of Country Sampler, and not peek my head out until September.  Forget the landscaping.  Let it burn till I can see pumpkins.

2) D’s God awful schedule.  He took a new position at work, and I’m very proud of him and how hard he works.  But If I were a spitting woman, I would spit about how much he’s been gone.  His alarm went off at 4:45 this morning, as it will the next two mornings.  And I’ll be lucky if I see him before bed time.  It’s hard to get stuff done without my right hand man!

So Junior and I head home in the evenings, hang out with Bill, eat a little dinner, take a bath… and when he goes to sleep and I know that’s my chance to be all creative and inspired and make our home come alive.  But no, all I want to do is pour a glass of wine, get in the tub, and read Game of Thrones.

And no one wants to read a blog about that.

So here I am, adrift in ho-hum land, when out of nowhere a wild edition of Country Sampler appears!  (Actually my Mother-in-law brought it to me, and it was tame) But this wasn’t just any edition…  it was the September edition.

I drank it all in like a happy hour Sonic drink.  Cover to cover, oohing and aahing and terrorizing D by asking if he could build me every other piece of furniture I saw.

With inspiration like that, what girl wouldn’t want to dive right back in?

This story had no moral, but the bottom line is; Thanks for sticking around. 

I like you.

  3. I must admit Amy…. while your house is spic and span (without clutter cuz it’s new), this heat has also made me more home bound and I am actually getting some very much needed cleaning done! I don’t mean surface cleaning… but deep (go through boxes of paper) kind of cleaning and then if this heat keeps up… I will be getting some organizing done too! Hang in there! :)

  6. Amy- happy blogiversary… even if you forgot it! Your blog is always entertaining and your house is gorgeous! Enjoy the wine and a good book- sometimes you need some down time to refuel before you can tackle things again. That’s definitely some great inspiration though!

  8. Happy Blogiversary! I can’t imagine how tired you must be by the end of the day waiting on D to come home. Sometimes that’s what keeps me going through the last hours of the day, knowing ML will be home shortly. Watching a little one makes it hard to get much of anything done around the house.
    I love your inspiration pictures and can’t wait to see how you adapt it to your house.

  9. I’m OVER the hot hot heat, too. I’ve seen so many instant-view netflix movies at this point. I got excited to hear you’re reading Game of Thrones…I lurve the show and want to try the books. Hope your creative mojo keeps flowing !

  10. Don’t worry, I’ve lost all inspiration too. It’s just too darn hot out to do anything creative. I’d rather just melt and have a drink by the pool. Congrats on a year of blogging though!

  11. I think we’re all feeling the same way, Amy. I’ve heard more and more bloggers talking about being in the creative doldrums. It’s been so hot here in Canada (can you believe it?) that all I want to do is hide in the basement and surf the internet.

    Congratulations on your blogaversary – mine is coming up this week too!

  12. I had to laugh at “Forget the landscaping. Let it burn till I can see pumpkins.” I’m right with you on it being too blazing hot to do anything. We have been having the same triple digit heat and it does melt one’s creative mind into a puddle of goo. Good luck being inspired, the tub and the book sound pretty good to me. :-) Happy Blogiversary!

  13. Congrats on your blogiversary!! Girl, I know you guys are dying up there…it’s crazy how hot it gets in the Midwest in the summer. Those furniture pieces are amazing…I’m sure D will cook up something fabulously country for you!

  18. I like you three!

    Heat is mean. It makes me cranky, too. But once it starts snowing I’ll dislike that even more so…I try not to let it get to me too much. :)

    That said, we WILL be going out to dinner in the AC tonight. :P

The second load I washed on Sat., Just Did get put in the dryer! I can’t wait to see pumpkins and all the new cool stuff you(meaning D) are going to make :) I like you a whole lot <3

  25. Got a nice visual of the buffalo roaming on dead grass, window shades pulled, Bill and Jr. curled up drying off from baths, empty wine bottles strewn by a comfy chair with a crazed lady in spectacles nose to the pages absorbing it all. Then Mr. Pitt came home dusty, wearing a cowboy hat and chaps.

  26. Hi Amy! Happy B-versary! I guess a lot of us are in the same boat! With no water to float it on! We are in a heat wave and haven’t had rain in a month! The lawn is a disaster, and it’s too hot to move, much less get creative! (Just out of sympathy, my hubby works nights too – sucks! Especially when I wanna enjoy our new home!)
