  • I don’t really feel like writing this entry.

    Why waste my time and yours, then?  Well, if I get out of the habit of blogging (as I did the past two days and past…um…six months, then I might never return. (Stop saying, “Oh, good.” Meanie.)

    We got the drums and microphone for Guitar Hero today.  I got them used on Ebay, so I am hoping they hold up. I’m kind of keen to try them out myself.  I am not so terrible at the guitar part of the game for an old woman.  However, tonight I think I might just curl up and watch the rest of Lost in Austen, a British TV show which I have on DVD–300 minutes of campy fun.

    I’ve been a painting fool lately. However, it’s taking much longer than I anticipated to wash down all the spindles and banisters of the porch. And then I will prime it. And paint it. (I hope I only have to do one coat!) 

    I’d like to eat a vegetable right now. I’m thinking raw carrots. And then ice cream.

  • Do you recommend the DVD? I’m watching The Buccaneers now….kinda smutty in many regards. I’m hoping it redeems itself in the end. I really like the BBC Elizabeth Gaskell DVDs, though……and, I’m always looking for more!

  • I too have become a painting fool or just a fool.  I’m about to embark on the daunty task of painting our living room, all four 18ft walls.  Let’s hope the $54 scaffolding rental doesn’t end up costing $5000 in medical bills!

  • Please don’t stop blogging, and I won’t either!  Raw carotts followed by icecream?  Is that sarcasm?

  • I would miss you if you stopped blogging, but I know what you mean….sometimes it’s just hard to KEEP blogging! My brother said he really enjoyed Lost in Austen. I haven’t seen it yet. Enjoy your carrots and ice cream! I had fresh cherries this morning, then some raisen bran. Yum!

  • If you need inspiration for you blogging….just start telling us stories from your days in London. :) We love when you put your thoughts to the page! :)

    I painted some yesterday….and then made a wonderful discovery…the person who owned the house before me left a can of the deck stain in the garage. Yippee. I can delegate that to my son.

    Guitar Hero…I’ve never played it. The kids are currently loving Mario Kart on the wii. I also choose Yoshi. ;)

  • @ElizabethDNB - </p Not in the least! Ice cream goes with everything.

  • I think I know what you mean; I, too, am running out of steam.  Teachers go back to work on Monday and the students return shortly thereafter.  I don’t know if I will continue to make time in the monring for posting but I’m afraid if I quit, then I won’t do any morning Bible time at all.     I am suffering a bad case of malcontentedness; nothing major……….just lots of little minor irritants.

  • It’s easy to get out of the habit of blogging… Carrots and ice cream- interesting combination (the carrots will make the ice cream healthy, right?  ha ha)

  • I Love veggies. I just started a gazpacho kick.

  • carrots and ice cream…oh, yum.  I had, that, too.  Without the carrots. 

  • Yes, the habit of blogging….I’m there too.

    It has been too cold up here this summer for me to crave ice-cream!

  • Okay, you’ve inspired me. I too want to get back in “blogging mode.” And hey, we’ve been watching All Creatures Great and Small. Love those British shows!!

  • I’m glad you wrote the entry.  I enjoy reading back through to see what I’ve missed.  I have been denying myself blogs until I finish my coursework.  It isn’t happening very fast.
