okay. So, as a few of you know, Herba is doing this “On this day in my life’ thingy and several other people are doing it and I have like… not an original thought in my head so… I figured… Why the heck not?
Now, here’s the deal: I don’t blog every day, so like Guylty, I’m aiming for the “Somewhere near this date” on the target. So there ya go. Now for the most part, this blog consists of:
- A) My reading habits. Yep. Y’all have to put up with what I managed to read this month. I know I know, y’all could care less… but it helps me keep up.
- B) ManCandy Monday. Beefcake Sunday. Guy Day. Here! Have some Richard. I have yet to hear anyone complain. I am pleased to massage your hormones without having to touch anything physically. Which would be nasty.
- C) Whining. I whine, I whined, can we dine now?
- D) Adventuring. As in, The Job Hunt. I can’t begin to tell you how in all honesty, this was really a depressing time and I was just trying to keep a smile on my face or I was liable to take a long walk off a short pier. And when Adventuring was over, I swapped from Adventuring to
- E) Putting my house together. I know something as mundane as a clean house, Decorating R Us, etc, doesn’t really warrant entire blog posts, but if you’ll go back to the comment about how depressing adventuring was and consider I’ve not SEEN my things in years and years and years… I’m happy. So pic spam, eh? Glad you understand.
- F) Avoiding much political banter. On occasion, there will be a politically motivated post… and yes grieving for the stupidity of terrorism. Okay, I want to say once or twice, I poked politically. Or mentioned in passing. I’m aware that the majority of my friends lean, swing the opposite direction I do and that’s okay. I’ve discovered that with certain subjects – politics, being one – that once a person’s mind is made up, they aren’t going to change it. So, let’s do something nice. Here! Have some Richard! (Who someone needs to explain to him about ‘racial slurs in the US’.
- G) The occasional challenge. ‘Cuz I’m weird that way.
But that’s what you get from me. So, with the exception of the first item, I’m not surprised in the least.
Close to this day in 2016, I made 2 posts. It was Friday, so we had GuyDay, with our favorite dark, broody knight. Which is good. However, the 2nd post gave me pause when I went back to it and I looked at it from a different perspective. As many of you will recall, it was around the end of March that Former-Future-Former Suitor returned wrecked havoc in my personal space. I fell and fell hard and for a while, it looked like my future was neatly mapped out and I was very happy. It will always be to me, the Summer of Love. But Spawn needed convincing. He was afraid we were moving too fast and he knew that I’m pugnacious and tenacious and I would hold on and work at it even after all hope was gone. He wanted to have a chat with Bill – he worried that if Bill changed his mind as quickly as he decided I was the one and hooked me in, then he (Spawn) would be the one to pick of the pieces, because Bill is over five hours away and Spawn feared that Bill would walk away without a backwards glance and leave me in the dust. Bill blew him off – yeah, he’s the man of the house and he’s worried about losing his spot and we’ll have that discussion later. It’s okay. The discussion never took place and he did exactly what Spawn was afraid would happen. I now refer to March 2016 – September 2016 as The season of Hurricane Bill. I will never forgive you for breaking my heart twice.

Around this time in April 2015, I made a whining post. Okay, that’s an understatement, I was loudly bitching about Digital’s handling of the fact the US wasn’t going to get to see The Crucible in the theater. (nonexistent) Of course, NOW we’re going to get it, but it’s too late for this chickie poo and it’s not showing anywhere near me, anyway, so F. U.

Around this time in 2014, which was the year I started this blog, I reblogged Guylty’s Emergency Oof with the still from Urban and the Shed Crew – which I’m thinking I”ll never get the chance to see – as well as this little item. I had decided to teach myself how to knit. These days, I can knit and purl quite well, but I’m getting bored with my current project, which is a gorgeous shawl with sleeves.
I reached the point where I need to make my first arm hole and I’m thinking maybe now would be a good time to set it down and learn to make socks or make a shawl or scarf that I can whip up quickly and then return to the project that never ends. but looking at this particular entry, I certainly have made progress.
Either way, my initial foray into yarn wasn’t so…. nice. I’ve come a long way, baby!

Fuck. Where’s the publish button? I hate it when Word Press comes in and messes up my world…
So, another microcosm – a blog encapsulated in one-day-through-the-years. I find that very interesting. You were – are – letting us take part in what is keeping you occupied. Whether that is attempts at learning a new craft, or enjoying re-found love, or reading all manner of fiction, or letting off steam. It’s all a big diary, and you do it in an entertaining way, so all is good. Man Candy pictures help, of course *grins*. And whatever happened in the past, it’s great to see it all recorded because it speaks of a varied life, of many interests, of achievements. Well done!
I’m not sure what to wish for you this summer….Hurricane Bill was awfully twirly and exciting, the throwing up, not so much. But isn’t that what summer vacation is for? To be reminded we live!?
This summer, I will do what I should have done last summer – which is clean out that garage and downsize. Do a lot of research for my Nanowritmo or whatever it’s called and try to figure out how to publish it if it does well.
I’m no longer looking for love. Each time I stick my toe in the water, I get hurt worse and worse. I told a friend a few weeks back that I deserved better than a ‘Oh btw I don’t love you anymore have a nice life’ text message and if being alone is better, then so be it.
Spawn and I are going to make some short trips. We’re within an hour of Charleston and 2 hours of Jacksonville and the beach is always close by. He’s planning on buying a car this summer. I think we might go hunt up a lighthouse or two as well.
Sounds wonderful! Ahh, to be close to an ocean.
Well, tbh, the beach is still an hour drive.
Beats 20+ 😉
Tru dat
Nice to read your overview as well!

Thanks for participating! It can be great to look back, sorry it wasn’t such a good trip down memory lane for you
It wasn’t a bad trip. I’m no longer grieving Hurricane Bill… well, I kinda sorta am, but not in a way where I’d do anything to get him back. Oh hell to the no, no way. I think I’m grieving what could have, should have been. Oh well. And it’s still kind of shocking that I still have the same reaction when anyone mentions The Crucible. Probably wouldn’t be so bad if they hadn’t decided to release it in an even MORE limited capacity. but hey, KNIT!!!!
