Oh just rambling.

So I’ve been cleaning lately.  Not just picking up, but really going through stuff to prep for 1)Mr. Husband’s party on Saturday and 2) our impending move.  The more I throw away, the less crap we’ll have to move.  Right?  Right.  [I seem to go through this every time we move…how do we still have anything left].  While doing this, I found a stash of “congrats on your new home” cards.  Uh, y’all?  It’s appreciated.  But you will go broke if you send us one of those every time we move.  Holy cow, we move too much.

I went in for a haircut today.  Little by little I’m getting brave enough to actually add a style into my cut.  That cut two years ago really traumatized me.  I saw someone new and they said something to me I’ve never been told: your hair is too thin for that style.  Oh, crap.  I’ve had thick, and I mean THICK, y’all hair my whole life.  I guess that highlighting experience back in March really did thin my hair out. [You know, the one where my hair was literally disintegrating in my hands].  Couldn’t get the cut I wanted, but I think it turned out okay.

[Sorry for the sour puss look.  I am jacked up on sudafed]

I’m usually a pretty neat person.  Well, no.  I’m not.  I just pretend to be.  If I don’t reel myself in, my house would be a disaster area all the time.  The husband used to joke that he could tell what I did when I first got home because I’d leave a trail (of clothes and crap).  You probably wouldn’t guess that by walking in my house; it’s usually fairly neat.  Well, when the husband’s away…

Shameful, y’all.  shameful.

Oh, and by the way.  The Avett Brother’s pandora station is the very best to clean the house to.  Be warned, though, if you are an emotional basket case like I am these days, you will cry while simultaneously cleaning the house.  That Ho Hey song by The Lumineers?  I belong with you.  You belong with me.  You’re my sweetheart.  It gets me, y’all.  I’ll also admit that until I just looked up the lyrics I thought it was “I belong with you, you belong with me in my sweet home.”  Which made more sense for our situation, but still.  The song gets me every time.
Happy Thursday, y’all.  I’ve embarrassed myself enough for one day.

Pack Like a Pro: Moving Made Easy

So my friend called me last week in a bit of a panic. Without really meaning to, she and her husband sold their house and bought a new one. I'd tell you the whole story about how someone randomly showed up on their doorstep putting in an offer on their house that...

  4. Love This Post!!

    I myself, am also a neat freak with my house but when I'm home alone, I become more of a slob, LOL!! BUT I always seem to have my house in tip top shape before the husband gets home of course!!!

    OHMGSH!!! My hair is basically long, straight, one length and boring…..so…..one of my buddies is actually cutting my hair on Monday as the same style you did!!!!! My bangs are basically the same length of my hair and I told her I wanted something going around around my face, just not major bangs and I told her to layer it up, eeeeppp!!! Yours cut looks SOOOO good!! Now I'm excited to get mine done!!

    Also!!! I also thought that he was singing "In my sweet home" in the Ho Hey song, no joke!!! I didn't realize it was my sweetheart until the other day, I seen a quote of it on Pinterest and I was like "Oh my gosh, I've had it wrong the whole time!" but it made me love the song even more!!

    I'm always into finding new Pandora stations to listen to and you can bet your bottom dollar I'm listening to the Avett Brothers station right now!! Its playing How Sweet it Is by Marvin Gaye right now, so I love it so far!!!

    Have a good day/night/evening!!!
