Blogging Failure. Clearly.

Well everyone, it seems that my last update was in March.  How did the captain of the Starship Enterprise come up with something to record every single day?  Honestly?  "Today we flew through space some.  It was dark mostly.  There were some stars out."  They couldn't have woken up and gotten more than they bargained for every single flipping day, could they? 

I mean obviously we wouldn't have watched an episode of the many hundreds of humdrum days in space, so that is the excuse I am using for why I haven't posted anything since March.  Nothing has changed at my house, really.  I am still camped out in the living room because I haven't installed the tile in the bedroom.  To be honest, I haven't even purchased the tile.  It's overwhelming with all the choices and sizes and grout colors, yadda, yadda, yadda.  Plus I have to be in town the same weekend that my expert tile friend is going to be in town, and our schedules have been nuts. 

I did purchase an automatic pool vacuum.  His name is "Sand Shark", and he chugs around my pool during the day sweeping up debris that I could sweep up if I were so inclined to use a manual vacuum.  I am not so inclined. 

I also purchased 4 bags or mortar that are sitting in my garage.  They will ultimately be used to fix the patio around my pool and to set the flag stones that I have.  Ultimately....that is such a vague word meaning that I hope to get to it before the end of the world.   

On a sad note, I believe I have killed my huge, wonderful pine tree.  My yard expert said it could have been a disease because it died so quickly.  He obviously has not heard of "Allison Black Thumb".  My luck with plants really does mean that I could have inadvertently killed the tree that quickly. I was told to water him to high heaven to see if we could bring him back.  Cross your fingers! 

OH MY GOODNESS!  I can't believe I forgot to mention my crowning achievement.  I finished the drywall in the bedroom and painted it brown with a blue accent wall.  I must have forgotten all about it since I still don't actually go to bed in my bedroom.  I may have also damaged a few brain cells painting and repainting the room, making it more difficult for me to recall recent events.  So, there....I have done something.  I have pondered doing other somethings.  I will forever procrastinate a few other somethings. 

Now that I need to start updating this blog more, I need to actually start doing things at my house and stop being a slacker.

  1. Allison, you might be the best person I know to find an entertaining way to explain that nothing much happened. You are awesome!

    That said, don't go looking for my blog. It hasn't been updated in quite some time. Facebook's taken over for much of my rambling. I should branch back out again, too.

  2. Do it, Dave! You would have a fantastic blog that I would read every single day while drinking a cup of coffee and pondering life's many wonders.
