I do. Truly. Again and I again I try and I try to make sure I update my blog.

Unfortunately all I can really think about is the fact that probably no one gives a fuck or reads this anymore. And I’ve gone so long without it that I suddenly don’t enjoy the cathartic feeling it used to have.

On the same note I’ve purchased a nice corner desk, I have my lamp and I my paint supplies all set up so I really don’t have any reason not to update this except my own resignation.

It’s hard to start something once you’ve stopped for as many years as me. Remember when I first started talking about dating M? Well we’ve been together 10 years as of Dec 31. TEN FUCKING YEARS.

I turned 34 this year. Thirty fucking four. Thank god I haven’t had any children or I might feel that a number a lot more than I currently do. Not that I’m anti children, I’m just anti ME having children.

Since I’ve gotten my desk all set up and my computer set up on said desk I’m truly hoping I can make a point of updating at least a couple days a week. It’s good for me, and I truly want to keep track of my life. I feel like I’ve gone a good job until recently (read: two years ago), so I hope maybe I can keep this ships afloat.

Until next time,

I have had an incredibly productive day. I initially meant to just focus on my happy mail but I got side tracked. I slept in (thank you jesus) and then took a shower. Had an irish coffee. Decided to clean up the craft room. I was outside smoking when I decided that I was going to make use of my clean craft room and wrap up my happy mail..

However the weather was SO gorgeous today I ended up spending my entire day outside working on our yard. Lots of watering and weeding. I transplanted some things out of one pot into a bigger one and have now attempted to clone my creeping jennys. I’m hoping they take, and I’m also hoping my ice plants survive the transplant.

It was a wonderful day over all.

Now that the sun has gone down I decided to work on my happy mail for my BFF and I got her card/collage wrapped up. Tomorrow I will be collecting mail from other mutual friends so I can make her a fun care package. I’m thinking I ought to throw some candy and snacks in there but really she doesn’t need huge things of snacks..

So I’m thinking more along the line of little fun sized candy bars and what have you.

Anyway, that’s it for me. Until next time.

Well I’ve been spending the last hour working on getting my zip printer firmware updated and actually paired to my phone. I didn’t realize it had been over a year since I’ve used it. Ack. I’m planning on making K a collage with some fun messages and pictures on it as well as maybe some stickers. I don’t know.

If it looks like a third grader made it that will be ok. I just want her to have something happy and fun to look at while she’s away in Chicago. Two more weeks until she comes home!!

My zip is finally attempting to print something, so we will see how it comes out. I honestly think I’m just done for the night. I’m sick of looking at all of this mess I’ve made.

Well I’m still here trying to do my best to update on the regular.

As of right now I’m attempting to put together a little bit of happy mail for a friend my best friend who is currently out of state (and will be for two more weeks!) So I’m thinking maybe I’ll put together some pictures I’ve printed on my little polaroid printer and write her a nice letter.

Maybe some of her favorite candy? Snackies? you guys have any ideas? I’ll take them!

Work is still work. I don’t know I suppose that if it was fun they would call it something else.

Michaels’ grandmother passed away last Tuesday. That’s been a hard nut to crack. He is doing his best to make sure that he gets all the things of his grandmothers that he would like since his family (read: older generation) is selling everything before her body is even in the ground.

Which quite frankly I think is entirely fucked up. I don’t know, my family on my fathers side is 100% irish catholic. We go through someone’s shit during the wake. After the funeral. And if there is a will we WAIT for that to be read??

On my mothers side we are all a bunch of sentimental hoarders so again we wait until everyone has an opportunity to say, “I always loved <this thing> and I would really like it.”

So it’s different. I mean different families are different. But this seems like jumping the gun.

😐

Well friends it has come to my attention that there were at least 5 posts that were never properly uploaded to my blog. I uploaded them all…. assuming that they would be back dated as they were originally written.

That was a mistake on my part. They were not uploaded in such date order.

That being said you may find that there are duplicates. Especially since I’m good at noticing when something wasn’t published and re-writing accordingly.

None the less I’ve decided to keep my posts as they were originally written.
