When you put it that way

If you wonder why my blogging varies in frequency.

My new schedule

Get up at 5:45. Get to work around 8. Work, work, work. Leave work at 5. Play with puppy for 15-20 minutes. Paint until dark. Find something to eat. Read for 10-15 minutes. Play with puppy some more. Sleep. Get up at 5:45….

*gasp*

That’s me coming up for air.

I thought I had a ton of stuff to blog about this weekend and today, but I just haven’t had a chance.

This weekend I finally finished painting the trim in our bedroom. When Katie and I bought this house a year and a half ago, the first major project I undertook was to paint our bedroom. I thought it was going to be a 2-3 day job, but I didn’t count on wallpaper. I spent a good forty hours just on the walls, and I never got around to the trim.

And you’d've thought I’d learned at least one lesson - every project in an old house takes longer than you’d expect. Yet I still spent a good twelve hours on the trim this weekend. I had tons of stuff I wanted to do around the house, and the only thing I got done was the white trim in the bedroom.

But I did get it done.

Looking forward to

I’m very much looking forward to having time to think about blogging again. Right now, every single bit of my energy is devoted to work, family, and house. Blogging more now would go something like this: “wow, I’m really busy at work,” “wow, my child is cute,” “dang, it was chilly at baseball practice last night,” or “man, I need to finish painting the fence.”

Soon.
