Longevity

Well, well. Haven’t I been the naughty blogger? Yes, I’ve ignored this blog something fierce. And it’s not that I’ve just let my passion for blogging wane—oh no. It’s much worse than that. I’ve actually been unfaithful and have been loving up a new blog across town behind this blog’s back. Yup, I’m a blogging hussy.

 

So what blog have I been two-timing with? It’s my new full time job and a project that’s been taking up a lot of my time (not that I’m complaining).

 

May I present to you Her Hairstyle Blog.

 

Now I know she looks pretty generic right now but I promise that a custom design is in the works. :) Her Hairstyle Blog is the flagship blog in the beauty channel within the new blog network Blog Island. Myself and a team of lovely ladies were hired on to start up and help develop this new network. I tell you—I’ve learned more about blogging in the last few weeks than I have since I’d first heard of it years ago.

 

So that’s what I’ve been up to. Please check her out and feel free to sign up for the rss feed so you can get lots of killer hairstyling advice delivered right to you. Oh, and just in case you think I’m talking out of my ass with all the hairstyling advice please know that I used to be a professional hairstylist before I quit to stay home with my girls. So when I tell you that bangs are in style or that you shouldn’t color over your bleach blonde hair with a dark brown, store bought hair color I really, really mean it,

 

Ok, enough talk of work—let’s move on to bitching about the weather, shall we. Honest to God if I ever run into Al Gore I’m going to smack him repeatedly while I scream “Global warming my ass!”

 

It is May 4th today and this is what Mother Nature bestowed upon us

How sick and twisted is that? The weather has generally sucked for all of spring which can only be expected as it was just carrying on the tradition started by the disgustingly cold winter we had before it. Mother Nature loves consistency apparently.

 

This pretty much sums up this year’s cold, miserable weather.

In case you can’t make it out the word on the stepping stone says “Longevity”. Very apropos wouldn’t you say?

 

Last night my husband and I, along with four of our neighbors and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law decided that we were tired of waiting for warm weather to come. We put up the Gazebo in our backyard, set up the propane heater on top of the patio table and proceeded to drink ourselves into believing it was warm.

 

We failed miserably.

 

By about eight o’clock we were so cold that our one neighbor had started pulling her feet up under her butt in order to thaw them. We headed inside our house and proceeded to drink more wine while our complaints about the cold became nearly as bitter as the weather itself.

 

At this point I’ve really given up. I believe this will be as close as I get to blooming flowers this year

And I’m waiting, just waiting, for Al Gore to have the balls to show his face around here.

    Nice post. How much can you write on hair styling though. I guess there must be a lot to say if you are in the business, I would presume. Will be checking that blog out later. Really enjoyed hidden statement about global warming though — got a chuckle. With the price of oil skyrocketing, a little global warming could go a long way in reducing my home heating costs! Thank you.
