Hit and Miss

I think the only people that read my blog anymore are people who have been longtime followers of mine.

You might have noticed that I'm pretty random lately with my posts.

I have a lot of things that I could say and things that I want to say but I have little motivation to do it.

I'd rather sit and watch Downton Abbey on a constant loop.

I'd like to read books for the book club.

I want to redecorate my living room.

I want to laugh at the histrionics on The Bachelor.

I want to have dinner figured out and made or in the process every night without a day long power struggle over it in my head every day.

I want to learn something new and interesting.

I switched cell phone carriers and I like to play with my new phone that was given to me by Amanda aka Shortmama. Remember her? I miss her blogging but I get to talk to her every day through text, Facebook and occasionally on the phone.

We got a new car about a month ago.

I've been down because I hate this time of year. The long slow march to Spring. And Spring usually shows up late around here. One word to describe the area right now is: Gray.

We've been hit with the bug/virus that has been going around. The kids got it and have recovered and I'm coming around, slowly. I swear it's affecting different parts of my face or head every day. Eye. Left side of my throat. Gland behind my right ear. Gland on my left jaw. Chest. Nose. Punch me now.

Amanda also sent me 3 purses that she was cleaning out of her closet and didn't use anymore. It made me feel a little chipper this morning when I had changed everything out and took it to the store for the first time. Yes, little things like that are fun for me. Whatever.

I think I'm going to get another cup of coffee. It feels like it's going to be a 3 cup day.

What's new with you guys?

Tell me something.

Anything.

Make me laugh!

And...GO!

What kind of phone did you get? What kind of car did you get? I need details!!

I don't think there are any new blog readers out there? It's all of us old folks plugging along. And some people have given up on commenting completely.

Here is something funny for you. My daughter just handed me the detachable fur trim from her coat and asked me to take care of it. She thinks it's a pet.

My dogs have fleas.

Sorry - that's as good as it gets around here...
I'm sorry you're feeling gray! I'm headed to the Botanical gardens today with hubs, one of the girls and the grandbaby. Looking forward to seeing his reaction to all the coolness there.

Sarah Shumate said...

The majority of the bloggers I follow go through waves with blogging - sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. Don't feel bad. Especially since that cold is making you feel bad enough already. :o/

Misty said...

I definitely need to catch up on Downton Abbey. It probably won't happen until the summer though.

Randomness. Apathy. Drama. Delight. Who wouldn't love to come here. You give us a bit of everything.

Rawr I'm A Dinosaur!

Glad I'm not the only only in a blog funk. I get maybe one post out a week now.

Steph said...

I suck way more at blogging than you do.

I have been trying to sell a house, buy a house, raise a kid, work, school, eat, lose weight, deal with a husband with a hurt back, and some other stuff that I can't remember.

Mrs. Match said...

I hope you feel better. I hate getting sicky.
Ha, 3 cup of coffee kind of day. I've been there!

I'm just crafting/nesting away in my world. I feel like I can't stop!

Christina said...

I totally get it. I could have written this post. I'm feeling pretty blah myself these days. I hate that it takes so long for spring to arrive in the PNW. It didn't bother me much before but now that I have crazy boys that NEED to be outside, it cannot come soon enough. Plus, I've been too busy to blog with all the Candy Crush I play all day long. Well, every 2 hours or so. Stupid 5 lives limit.

Christina said...

Also, what's with that anon comment up there??? Hahaha! That had to make your day just a little bit!

Jen said...

Oh girl, I SO feel you!!! "Gray"...that's exactly how things are around here too.
((((hugs))))
Hope you're feeling back to your normal self soon. And if spring doesn't march it's happy little a** over here soon, I'm flying to a deserted island. Want to join me? ;)

Impulsive Addict said...

You forgot to mention our FAVORITE game of Candy Crush! Ha!

What? A new phone? What kind?
What? A new car? What kind?

Dinner. Blah. I love to cook but I end up making the same boring things over and over because when I try something new, one of us doesn't like it!

Ducky said...

Knuckle bump! Power to the people and all that other jazz. I paid thing2 $5 to moon his father two lands of traffic over from us. It was a proud moment of mine.

By the time I HAVE time to sit down and blog whether it be reading or writing I'm too poopered. I fall asleep.

Karen Peterson said...

I'd say a lot of us miss you when you don't blog!

I want to learn something new and interesting too. But nothing really interests me that much lately.

Sela Toki said...

It's my birthday Mimi and I'm treating myself by dropping by your blog. It has been a while and we've just settled in to our new old home. Been hectic and busy so it's time to visit good old blogging friends. Your blog always make me smile. Spring stinks around here in Utah because the ground is covered with about 3 inches of snow. LOL. Sometimes I think we only have two seasons. Summer and Winter. Have a great weekend.

Liz @ Sugarplum Creations said...

I NEED more time for blogging! And I could've written pretty much everything you wrote . . . except I haven't gotten anything new, and I don't feel chipper. Just gray. BUT, I just saw the weather forecast . . . it's supposed to be gorgeous this weekend. Of course, they always change the good forecasts at the last minute.

Mrs. Petrie said...

Hi Mimi! I've been the worst blogger ever lately. So much going on! I can see you've been busy, too. I always thought that when I stopped working I'd be less busy, but I've been running around like crazy the past couple of years. Anyway, I'm still reading. :)

Emmy said...

Look at all these comments you got on my post-- and now finally mine as I am playing catch up-- see lots of people still read you we are just waiting for you to write :)
