Success!!

Yes, we can all certainly tell how well my new plan is working!

I've been posting every day. I'm such a good girl.

What do you mean there were no new posts? WHAT?! All that fantastic advice and life experience WASTED? But but but...

Yeah. About that. Too bad. I'm here now aren't I? :-) I've been re-doing a bathroom in a rental property next door. Which is the thing to do during show season when you are trying to run an apparel company...

Tile a bathroom.

Rob is home for all of 2 weeks and can we go camping? No. Can we go snorkeling. No. There was a sign at Home Depot today that read "Do it right or do it over." Ain't that the truth.

So how the heck did "ain't" make it through my spell-checker?!? I understand that the apostrophe is to replace the missing letter as in (do not = don't) or (were not = weren't) but what the hell is "ain't" all about? My smarty pants writer friend Lisa probably knows.

Other funny things I saw today... a bumper sticker on a truck that said
"Driver Carries No Cash - he's married"
I'm glad I think that's funny. I have a friend who would be offended by that little bit of wife-bashing.

On a COMPLETELY unrelated subject... I added Paypal to my website. So now all of you baby clothes shoppers can do an express checkout easy-cheesy.

Here is a little cutie sporting the style Cleo. Yes, I know she is standing on a table... I normally cut the models out, discarding the background. But here you see the "director's cut" as it were. Lucky you.

New Plan

I have to have a new blogging plan because OBVIOUSLY the current one is not working.

In a perfect world I would love to post every day. Lord knows I have enough to say!! Why can't I do it? A couple reasons:

1.) Discipline.

The same discipline I lack to get my butt up and get to a gym... Actually, I just plain don't like working out so that is really more preference than lack of discipline.

2.) Justification.

Like how I justified my lack of discipline as merely a preference... nice one.

So the new plan is to not try to post some big profound thing. Just go for little bites. Little things that occur to me or things I run across.

So todays little ditty is this... I was reading the Cherry Festival schedule this morning (because the National Cherry Festival is going on here right now) and some singer named Kellie Pickler will be performing on Sunday. Then about an hour later I get an e-mail from a girl named Connie Gurkin... Then I was talking to our tenants next door and they mentioned their dog Olive...

Praise the Jewish Carpenter it's a sign from above! I should have a summer porch party!!!

Who am I kidding? I can't even seems to handle a regular blog contribution. Well, Rob is due in town on the 21st. He's a bit of a porch party all by himself. He's the Mojito-maker anyway.

We'll wait breathlessly for his arrival.
