It's Been Real!

Time to make my hiatus official. I haven't blogged since New Year's Day and I don't think I'll have much motivation to do so in the near future. I have so enjoyed everyone that has taken the time to visit and comment over the last year or so. Thank you so much for taking time out for my humble little place in cyber-space.

But this truth is life has changed for this Sexy Housewife. I no longer have evenings after the kids have gone to bed and time to kill while waiting for the Hubby to come home. Work...pesky as that is, is very necessary and time consuming. And I have a nagging shoulder injury that makes it very difficult to type at times.

That said, I am not quite ready to say goodbye completely but I am going to commit to a substantial break. I will still be lurking at all my favorite blogs now and then and I will probably drop into Plurk on the weekends. And I may check back into blogging this summer.

So, with that, I will say goodbye for now.

Here's to 2009!

A Very Merry...

Here's wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Breakin' Up Is Hard To Do

I finally ended it with the Schwan's delivery man. We had a standing date every two weeks for maybe 5 years, rain or shine. But I have finally had enough. First he added a delivery fee due to raising fuel cost (but did he remove the fee once gas dropped below $2.00/gallon...um, no). Then he raised the prices on the things I bought most often. Recently, some of the items could only be purchased if you pre-ordered them and even then there was no guarantee of getting them. The final straw came when the breaded clams we like to have with steak had so little in a bag they would hardly feed one person and they were mostly crumbs. So, what's a girl to do? It had to end. I deserve better. But like any woman afraid to end a long-standing relationship, I put it off for a few weeks. But tonight was the night. I went to dinner with my husband and left strict instructions with the oldest, when the Schwan's man comes, tell him "your mother doesn't want to see him anymore." And when I returned from dinner, it was done. The oldest says to me, "I broke up with the Schwan's man for you, Mom." Maybe I should have her call my hairdresser tomorrow...

Any Excuse to Eat Chocolate...

I got this fun award from Tara over at If Mom Says OK. And it only took me two weeks to post it. Sorry about that, Tara. You are way too good a blogging friend to me!


The Rules:

1. You must eat a piece of chocolate in honor of accepting the Octamom award. (I had some milk chocolate kisses!)
   
2. You must, um…..oh, ah, eat another piece of chocolate when you put it on your blog. (I had some plain M&Ms! I hope those count!)
   
3. You must visit Debi B. (who designed the award) by clicking here. It’s neighborly, you know.
4. Try to go by and see the other good folks I’m putting up a link up for.
5. Feel free to add or subtract from the rules as suits your fancy…except that chocolate one…I must insist on that.

And now...to pass on the love...I award this award to:
Terri at Terri Terri Quite Contrary
Rachel at A Southern Fairytale
Kimmylyn at Jogging in Circles

Enjoy ladies!
