So, yeah, I sort of forgot that I had this blog. Actually, I didn't forget about it completely, I just haven't had anything interesting to say. Not that I have something interesting to say now, as you can obviously tell.
Quick update of my life: My husband lost his job. Everything else is pretty much the same. Work, eat, sleep, repeat.
My life must be either so busy that I just haven't had time to write anything, or so boring that I have nothing to write. Definitely the latter! And this is OK with me, I am OK with boring. So anyway, Christmas is creeping up on us and for the first time in, oh I don't know, forever, I am not done my shopping! Haven't even really started it. I do have a few odds and ends that I have picked up throughout the year, but I haven't even made "the List". "The List" is extremely important to accomplishing the shopping because I am not one to go out shopping and just wander aimlessly, hoping that what I need will appear magically and at the right price. So I'm thinking that maybe this weekend's project will be to sit down and make "the List". Even more importantly, I need to make the holiday baking list! Oh dear, looks like I might actually be too busy to write for a while!
Right at this very moment, I am sad. I'll even admit that I am sadder than I should be. Here's why. My husband and I were supposed to go fishing out on the Delaware Bay on Saturday with his boss in his nice fishing boat. I absolutely love being out on the water, don't really care about the fishing part though. Then along comes hurricane Danny and ruins everything, dammit! I wasn't even complaining about having to get up at 4AM to go on this trip. I've been a good girl. Why can't I go fishing? Waahhh...
Well, it's that time of year already. I realize that most people are still busy with Summer and back to school things, but my mind has already started to fill with thoughts of Christmas. It's a problem I've had for a very long time, and I doubt that it will ever change. You see, for me, once Summer has ended, I find that I feel better focusing on Christmas plans to keep me from being so depressed about the cooler weather and shorter days. So I am going to try to enjoy the last few weeks of the weather that I live for, and then, I'll just be waiting...
This is a picture of a field in the middle of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There is nothing really special about it. In fact, it looks just like every other field in the area. The only difference is, this field is what you see out of your window when you stay at the Harvest Drive Family Inn. We have stayed before, and the location has us coming back again, in just a few weeks. The last time we were there, the Amish were having some type of evening get-together in the area, and we sat out in front of our room late at night and listened to the horse and buggies heading home. Very relaxing. The only other thing we have planned is stuffing ourselves at one or two of the local buffet restaurants. Should be fun!
I live in a house that is almost 40 years old and, overall, it's in wonderful condition. However, there comes a time when certain things just need to be replaced, no matter how well it has been maintained over the years. One of those things is the roof, which we just replaced this weekend. The next item on the list is replacing the humongous sliding door on the front of the house with something that is hopefully more energy efficient. We are planning to do this in the fall. Then, sometime next year we will replace the windows, then remove some more trees so we can get HD service for our TVs, then maybe new vinyl siding, then perhaps refinish the wood floors...I'm feeling tired and poor just writing about it.
OK, so it's not actually 4 degrees outside, but it might as well be. For crying out loud, it's the last week of May and I'm sitting here wearing flannel pajama pants and a thermal shirt and I'm still feeling a little bit chilly. If things don't start heating up soon, I'll be searching the real estate listings for South Carolina. Or Hell. At least I wouldn't be cold there.
