So it's been a while since I've filled you in on the goings-on and what-not; but mercy! -- I've been having so much fun! Annie the Wonder Cat tried to keep my blog going for me while I was off gadding about, but she has always had trouble spelling "Oklahoma," so she eventually said screw it. She's like that.Well, now I'm back, and I can't wait to tell you all about my adventures!
Over the next few days, wanna hear about my trip to Texas and Oklahoma with my sister? You got it! Do you love the sign posted on the door of the Pioneer #3 restaurant?!
I can tell you all about my trip to Rhode Island with my dad, to see my godson get married -- and how old that makes me feel.
And I had a great day yesterday, when I got to go back into the classroom and teach a group of college students. The topic was Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales -- so I just know that's a post you won't want to miss. Make sure you have done the assigned reading before you come to class!
But today a mound of laundry as big as my . . . . -- well, it's really big -- is waiting for me. Do you know that low-grade feeling of guilt and dread you get when you've been blowing off stuff for way too long? That's my diagnosis right now -- so I had better get crackin'!tangent: Wouldn't it be nice if the Christmas decorations you see in the corner of my dining room were there because I am so proactive and ahead of the game when it comes to preparing for the holidays? Wouldn't you be sad if I told you they've been there since . . . . OK, let's just drop it.
sounds pleasant, - that last dab reminds me of the old saying "I take one day at a time, but lately several days attacked me all at once!" Anonymous

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. The Canterbury Tales is a blast from the past. I'll think I'll take the Cliff Notes version.
ReplyDeleteI've missed you Liz! Welcome home!
ReplyDeleteI love your stories. I am glad you had a nice time. I have to iron a mound of clothes today, so I get it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I know exactly how you feel. I just put up my first blog post in two weeks. Yikes! Between birthdays planning two trip and mundane crap, I just didn't have time. BTW, love the cat pic...and my kids did too!
ReplyDeleteI'm craving travel right now...so glad you had a chance to get away.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at that Chaucer picture. I blogged once, over a year ago, about the Canterbury tales and used the same picture. it constantly comes up as suggested reading in the automated links I have set up at the bottom of my posts and I don't really know why...maybe the travel theme?
Glad you're back--good luck with the laundry!
Did you really do all that stuff? Wow, I feel so boring right now. I wish I was traveling to Oklahoma and teaching the Canterbury Tales. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fun trip away. know the feeling about the Christmas deco's two years ago our tree sat in our spare room for the whole 12 months!
ReplyDeleteI have totally had this set of sleigh bells up on my door since I was pregnant with Alex. Who is 2. And a half.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear the details. We all have laundry like that by the way...and even in my little house I occasionally find decorations not put away from seasons past. The to do list is endless...and I'm no Martha Stewart. Oh wait, Martha has a team helping her out! Thanks for coming by, Holly:)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back! Cannot wait to hear all about your adventures!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Liz! Great picture of Annie! Oh, I love Chaucer!
ReplyDeletePlease don't tell me the Pioneer poster is from Oklahoma?? We're classy folks. There are. no. buffalo. here. Ok?! We don't live on grits and gravy. Liz, I'm beggin' ... give us a smashing review sans spurs and tumbleweeds. We even have those automobiles and paved roads now ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're home! Just put all of that laundry in the attic, pour yourself a glass of wine, and start on those decorations ...
Don't feel bad... I too have stuff laying around forever... example: Daughter #2 graduated from high school last June.... still have some of her graduation party stuff sitting in a chair in my dining room...
ReplyDeleteI just found my way over from Holly at 504 Main. I see that many of my other blog friends are friends of yours as well! Seems like good company! I'm a new follower!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Liz, thanks for the comment you left on my blog- I couldn't find an email link so...for a glass door.. we have a glass storm door and I use one of those hooks that go over the top of the door to hang my wreaths....you can find them at any craft type store/walmart, target etc. :) my only suggestion... get some of those things you stick on the bottom of furniture (to keep your furniture from scratching your floors). This way the hook & the wreath don't scratch your glass door.
ReplyDeleteThere is something for you at my blog.

I love the pic of Annie on your PC - so cute

That is funny. Really. Your cat is really cute... I could never figure out how they could type with all the hair between their toes.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from 504. I decided I hadn't visited any new blogs for awhile. :)
