A Love Like This

Some tips for Bloggers Part 1

Rule Number One


Don't promise your readers a post-a-day, get really really busy and then catch a cold.  When you fail to post, it makes you look like, as they would say in your neck of the woods, a liar, liar, pants on fire.  


Rule Number Two


Don't leave your sandwich in someone else's reach.  

Seven posts this week?  Ha.  


My apologies.  


Want some things to look forward to?  A post about Why I Love My Coffeemaker and a new Ode to Such & Such all in the works.  


Love and this week was a weird week, 
 H. 

     Eee Gads!  My computer was misbehaving last night (ok, NOT my computer...just the internet connection), so I owe you a blog post somewhere down the line since I promised a post a day.  I tell you what, I am running nonstop this week.  Does anyone else feel that way lately? Please say it isn't just me. 


In other, perhaps more cheerful news, Scarlett decided to celebrate President's Day with a nice, long roll in the mud...followed by a nice, long roll in the tub.  

 What are YOU celebrating this week?  


Love and I always get lotion for Christmas (as you can tell in the background),

There is so much fun to be had.

     If you're anything like me, you haven't really had the time to do much trolling around Urban Outfitters, lately.  Here are a few treasures I stumbled upon.  


You're welcome.  

Hippo toothbrush holder

A Guitar-shaped spatula! 

 Polaroid Notecards

 A personal library kit

Birds on a wire photo clips 

Mustache bandages

Tomorrow, I will tell you how Scarlett celebrated President's Day.  You won't wanna miss it!

Love and my dogs are kind of a big deal,

Daydream Believer

     Today, I am totally daydreaming about wearing these lil' gems from Old Navy, getting Starbucks, and running into my sister and her family at Lowe's while we are all plant-shopping.  It happens every spring and I love it.  

Love and hoping this weather is here to stay, 
H.  

Saturday, Saturday!

     Today is a day I am choosing to celebrate.  Between starting my own business, commitments at church, keeping my head above water at work, and actually trying to, you know, spend time with my family- I have been away from this blog for far too long!  

    So, this week, my goal is to post everyday.  There's going to be fireworks, a marching band, and we'll use $100 bills as confetti! 

Ok.  Maybe I'm getting a little carried away. 

But seriously.  Let's celebrate.  

Today, I'm super-excited about the following:  

1.  My mom's birthday is today!  Happy birthday, Mommy! ILU! 

2.  I got a job tutoring for Sylvan Learning Center.  It's temporary (a nearby school has grant money to fund tutoring until our state testing is over this spring), but the pay is good and the kids seem sweet, and we're tossing all that extra cash into savings. 

3.  The weather here is amazing.  Simply amazing.  Picture me yelling "Amazing" like Oprah announces her guests.  (source unknown)

4.  Tonight, I am attending a "Girl's Night" at my friend's NEW PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO!  She and I have been friends since we were born (literally), and I'm so proud of her.  Here's the catch...tonight's specialty is Boudoir Photography.  Holy Smokes.  I'm taking a black little number, a tall pair of heels, and an armload of courage.  I'm actually pretty excited.  

     What are you celebrating?  Oh yea, and after a recent post in the forums about lurkers/commenters, I want to encourage you to comment and/or follow if you are a regular reader!  It's so fun, I promise.  And if you become a new follower, I'll be sure to shoot some of that confetti your way.  

Love and having half-naked pictures taken tonight,*

H.  

*People are going to be mighty disappointed when they Google "half-naked pictures," and a blog by a teacher from The Midwest shows up as one of the results.  Oh well, they can have some confetti too, anyway.  

I Have Good News.

     Wherever you are today, know that you are loved.  It may not be in a way that you expect or the way in which St. Valentine may have promoted, but I know this to be true. 


You are loved.  


Happy Valentine's Day.  


     I couldn't find a  picture of Jesus to further get my 'you are loved' point across that wasn't incredibly cheesy or creepy so instead, here's a picture of Scarlett sleeping on my rump, if that helps.  

     Tim and I are up to no good, per usual.  We laid around all day on Saturday as part of our own "Budget Friendly" Valentine's Day Date.  More laziness to ensue.  


Love and desperately trying not to gush about my husband, 
H.
