I’m almost out of excuses

July 28th, 2008

I know what you must be thinking when you come to my blog…

"will she ever show us pictures of her new house?"

"will she ever add mulch to her garden so she can show us pictures?"

"will she ever tell us about the jerk that sold her the trees?"

I finally have answers…yes. yes. and ooooooooooh yeah.  (At least I think I’m going to go into detail about the jerk at the landscape place, I haven’t totally decided, yet.)

But not right now.

The mulch was delivered, thanks to my friend and blog reader, Angie, who called me this morning and I had the mulch delivered this afternoon!!!  (thank you, Angie!!) which means we are mulching right now, as we speak.

Well, Brian is, right now I’m blogging and he’s dumping the mulch and I’m spreading it when I get done blogging, obviously I have my priorities straight. 

Then tomorrow night I am hosting my Mommies group here and do you know what that means?!?!  I have to clean my house and don’t think for a second that I will not be taking tons of pictures after cleaning my house because I do not intend to clean again for a VERY, VERY LONG TIME and I need to capture it, while it lasts.  (which will be about 30 minutes, since I’ll wait until the very last minute to clean and everyone will arrive just moments after I have finished cleaning.  Procrastinate much?)  And the pictures will come in handy for when a neighbor drops by and sees the squalor we live in and I can be all like "yeah, but, see these pictures? it USED to be clean."

What does all this mean?  I’m busy!  Can’t blog!  But will soon!  With pictures!

And just to hold you over, I’m going to share some pictures for you that I took this weekend, while my sister-in-law and her family were visiting.  The beautiful girl in the shots is my niece and she’s very, very cute with a tiny, little girl voice.  oh and there’s other shots of crap thrown in, just for good measure.  Enjoy!

And here’s one of Ariel, before I leave (if you look closely, you can see where she cut her own bangs way back in June – sadly, she loves the way it turned out.)

Oh dear, I think Brian just flipped me off, I better get to work.

    Can’t wait for more! The pictures are gorgeous. Just finished a box of Bug Bites. Not sure whether I should thank you for showing me such deliciousness (I’m SURE that’s a word… I hope) or if I should curse you and the pounds I am sure to gain as a result of those tempting little bugs.

    Oh, you and I are so alike. Especially in the fact that our husbands would flip us the bird while they work in the sweltering heat outside and we sit and type away on the computer.

    Have fun mulching, well, or have as much fun as one can have while mulching.

    Can’t wait to see more pics. The ones you have up are gorgeous. :D

    Oh you think you can distract us with your cute neice. Yes, she is absolutely precious, but we are on to your tricks. We want house and yard pictures and we want them NOW!!!

    Anyway, as usual, I have photo envy. Those pictures are stunning. I’m also glad to hear that I’m not the only one who cleans only when having people over.

    My son had cut his hair on numerous occasions…I’m not really sure why. The last time was the morning of my wedding, and he was the ring bearer. He always chooses this one spot right in the front…the problem is that he doesn’t have a whole lot of hair anyway so I’m not sure how he could manage to get the scissors up there and cut hair and not skin. Luckily I could take him to the same place that I was getting my hair done at and they kinda fixed it. I can still tell when I look at our wedding pics.

    Your niece has adorable curls and looks completely innocent!

    I could eat your niece. She is the most adorable little thing ever.

    Yes, please capture pictures in those few moments when the house is spotless (although WE don’t care if it’s spotless!) because we are dying to see them.

    Your last line about Brian flipping you off had me laughing out loud. You’re hilarious.

    Beth,

    I just saw a sign in an Etsy shop yesterday (that I am totally going to buy) that said “My house was clean yesterday, sorry you missed it!”

    I’m in the boat with ya sista! Well, except my house isn’t new, and I don’t have readers clamoring for pictures. I just want to walk without stepping on a lego or matchbox car. I also need dishes to eat on.
