Well looky here – it’s been so long since I’ve written here that I went and forgot my password to write stuff. Either that or it’s the internet’s way of telling me I’m no good at this stuff anyway and should go back to my day job. But persistence is key and I tricked the worldy-widey-web into lettiing me in. I swear – they just let anyone on the internet these days. Next thing you know, I’ll be running for President. (ha – I kid – just couldn’t resist).
I’ve been making a concerted effort to get my life together this summer – to do the little stuff like finally unpack some boxes and hang pictures on the walls (we’ve lived here a year), try out being a mama (my son is two), keep the house clean-ish and the laundry folded, and do just enough work to not lose my job. It was a glorious failure on all fronts: the pictures are all still leaning against the walls, Saurus has rejected most all of my attempts at awesome mom-ness (how was I supposed to know the zoo didn’t have the EXACT species of snake he wanted to see or that he hates playing in the sprinkers?!), I ended up hiring a housekeeper, and I still have my job but ended up doing more work than I have hours in a week. So pretty much business as usual around here. By way of an update (and an apology…) here’s a little Hunter House lately:
I’ve been writing at A Night Owl Blog and loving it. You can find the following posts over there (along with a lot of other stuff that’s way out of my league):
blue ribbon blueberry pie || limoncello cupcakes || blackberry vanilla swirl cupcakes || chocolate chip cupcakes & saurus’ second birthday
The things that happen in my house on a daily basis continue to amuse (and confuse) me:
We’ve been married five years now…I think…give or take a year. And maybe our anniversary is in October. It’s all very confusing but we’re very happy. I think. If you can believe all the ridiculous pictures we take of ourselves being happy all. the. time.
The Saurus routinely tries to ship himself off to a grandma. We’re okay with it some days….
I’m a proud aunt to the second cutest baby boy on the planet. I’m rather unsure if his own parents can love that little boy as much as we do. Saurus is pretty excited to see pictures of “DA BEBE! BABEBE! DA DABABEEBEE!”
We hosted a baby shower for a great friend who is due any day now!! Can’t wait!
Although I might not be blessed with the extra time to write lately (because, let’s face it – I love sleeping and, sadly, cleaning up goldfish crackers and eradicating spiders from my house are kind of full-time jobs), but I am trying to keep up a little on the semi-necessary evil that is social media. So if you’re anxious for some Hunter House updates over the next couple of months, try facebook, instagram, or twitter. Or just send me an email. Or write me a letter. It’ll be a nice break from the bills and ridicuous Amazon impulse buys (which is another story for another time).
