Update From a Slacker

It's a dichotomy.  I've been so busy, yet so lazy.  I'm always doing something, but never feel like doing much of anything.  Even blogging.  And that's just not right.
Maybe it's the heat.
Maybe it's my rapidly advancing age.
More likely, I think I'm just overwhelmed.  New house.  Stressful work.  Major family loss.
I've said it before, but I really need a minion.  A cloned minion.  Only with really good hair.
Not that things are bad.  Life is good.  Really good.  The house is starting to come together.  Got the master bath painted a gorgeous shade of gray and I'm starting the decorating process.  First with some antique apple boxes.....

And people laughed when we bought the antique urinal.  Pssshh.

 Window treatment thoughts?


Roger, being the hero that he is (after reviving my mom's A/C unit single handedly), also hung a porch swing on the long, wrap-around porch yesterday. And he crawled up in the attic in 90 degree heat to do it.
Then he came in an made a roast for dinner.
No.  You CAN'T have him.  I'm hoping to sign him to a long-term contract one day.
Love you, babe!!
If you're looking for me tonight, my ass will be right here.
(Forgive the ladders and stuff.  They're not part of the permanent plan.)
That's about all I've got for now.  Hoping to get my funny back again soon.  Stick with me. K?

Swinginess, y'all,
Ach

  1. Sometimes it is just hard to make Blogging a priority. I take that back it's always hard.

    I would love a wrap around porch. Ladders and all.

    You're still funny, you just aint feeling it.

    Get back to normal soon.

    1. The porch is amazing. But it's like furnishing a freakin house! A lot of space to fill.

      Thanks for the encouraging words. They are appreciated.

  2. What Simply Suthern says! Your post was still funny and fun :-) Loved seeing the pictures of your house - the bathroom looks delicious and love the swing.

    So... if we can't have Roger, does he have a brother?

  3. I love the color of your bathroom! And great idea with the boxes...I like the little splash of yellow! :) The swing looks great too! Don't worry about your blogging schedule: life happens and sometimes we can't get around to blogging/feeling funny. :)

    1. Thanks, L-Kat...I love gray right now. Very neutral.

      I know I'm not alone, and no one's life is really affected when I don't blog, but I don't want to get too lazy and never get back to it. I can be like that.

  4. Oh, just don't go missing for long periods of time without checking in on us. My anxiety can only cover one of us....don't make me worry about you, too! :)

  5. I've said it before and I'll say it again . . . that one's a keeper.

    Love the bathroom, love the swing . . . can I come over to relax? It looks like you are working very hard to make preparations for relaxation. :)

    And the boxes are great . . . especially with the old fashioned urinal. It really adds a little je ne sais quoi to the place. ;)

    1. Why yes, he IS a keeper! The house was great to begin with. Just needed some Jayne touches. And I'm touching it everywhere. LOL

      Je ne sais quoi is my middle name!

  6. We all have those phases from time to time! Man, I've always wanted a porch with a swing. I guess I still have time for that...considering I don't even have a house yet. Well now I cheered myself up, wonderful.
    I love the yellow vase and I might love the antique urinal even more. Hang in there, we're sticking with you..which means you're also stuck with us. Congrats!

    1. I know! The urinal is great, right? Only wish we'd gotten the matching bed pan, too!
      Happy to be 'stuck', Liwi!

  8. I say No to window treatments...they'll distract from the urinal! ;-) Seriously though, the bathroom looks beautiful!!
