Exceedingly Mundane

Well, here I am, falling behind on blogging again! I have lots of things to share, but I can’t seem to sit at the computer and get them translated into any kind of “meaningful” blog post, hahaha! Most recently would be my birthday, but shhhhh, we don’t have to talk about just how old I really am! 😀

I had a nice birthday this year, although very low-key. Tim took me out to eat (dinner at Chili’s, lunch at Zaxby’s), and let me pick out whatever I wanted for my birthday. He wanted to buy me a camera (and I just might “let” him get it for me soon), but I didn’t think I needed another camera. I have a wonderful digital Rebel that he got me a couple of years ago for my birthday, but it is heavy and sometimes cumbersome to lug around. He wanted to get me just a small point and shoot to keep in my purse, and after thinking about it and “chewing” on it for a while, I think I might ask for it as a belated gift, after all 🙂

While we were out shopping the day before my birthday, he asked what I wanted and I said, well, if I see something I like, let’s just get that. So, that’s what we did! I got a book I wanted (the new Nicholas Sparks, “The Last Song”), and a warm fuzzy blanket to wrap up in now that it’s feeling more like fall around here. I also got this:

It’s not a Le Crueset, although I had mentioned to him a while back that one day I’d like to splurge and get a red one. He said, I’ll get you that if you want, but I just don’t see paying 250 bucks for one of those. And he’s right. And I’m sure this one will be great, and I can replace it several times over if it doesn’t hold up like the name brand one. This one came from Sam’s, and we usually have really good luck with the things we buy in there!

Also, on the day of my birthday, he sneaked off to Fresh Market and got these for me:

My birthday was on a Sunday this year, and our beloved Saints were playing a big game against the Giants. I kidded Tim all week that I was going to tweet Drew Brees and ask him to be sure and win on Sunday, since it was my birthday, LOL! I didn’t but they did pull out a win, going 5-0 for the first time since 1993. For this converted Saints fan, that was a pretty nice gift too!

Back soon (hopefully), with another post. Hope everyone is having a great day, and week 🙂

Well, I had decided to give up the ole blog, and stop blogging. I haven’t blogged in over a month and a half, you know. Between Twitter and Facebook, as well as the non-computer things in my life, I just didn’t see a need to keep blogging. After all, I’ve been blogging for about 4 1/2 years, so I really felt like I didn’t have anything else left to say.

Then…

I couldn’t remember when we had done something or bought something, and I went to my blog to look and see if I could find out when. And as I was scrolling through past entries, I realized it’s a great way to keep up with what we’re doing, look back at things, and remember what was going on, both the big things and little things in our life. Plus, Tim did his normal “you shouldn’t give it up, you don’t have to do it all the time, you know”.

So, if I can figure out how to do this again, I might be back with some really mundane blog posts 🙂

To tide you over, here’s what makes me smile the last couple of days. Tim surprised me with some beautiful red roses. Just because 🙂
