I just realized that Summer TV premieres are a thing and I'm super excited about it.

It gives me one more reason to not mow my lawn!

Here's a complete list of the shows premiering this summer.

I'm looking forward to:
- America's Got Talent
- Aquarius
- The Whispers
- Orange Is the New Black
- Sense 8
- The Astronaut Wives
- Last Comic Standing

Peace Out, Clutter


 
 
Last Friday, my husband and I cleaned my home office. It had been on my to-do list for a long time. We originally remodeled the room a few years ago and then the clutter took over. It was such a mess! Everything was everywhere! We threw away a ton of stuff and also packed up a lot of stuff for our annual sale. Even after putting an actual truckload of stuff in storage for the sale, I'm still finding more things to get rid of! I used to want to hold on to everything and now I just want it gone! We're thinking about moving and the less stuff we have to move the better! It feels so nice to get rid of things

Bird




 

 
 


There is a  Killdeer family nesting in our driveway.  They've done this for a few years now.  It's so cute to see their little ones when they hatch.

My parents also have like 5 families of Barn Swallows beginning their nests in the barn, so I'm looking forward to that.

How To Suck At Blogging





How To Suck At Blogging:

1. Abandon your blog.
Post consistently for a while and then just never post anything for months.  Don't leave a goodbye message either.  Just disappear into the wind.

3. Neglect social media..
When you're not posting on your blog, don't post on social media, either.  Make people think you're off the grid somewhere while you go about your business.  Constantly check social media, though, following your new twitter followers back but not replying to their messages.

3. Come back to blogging, promise new content & then disappear.
Make this big deal about your return to blogging and how happy you are to be back, promising tons of new content "coming soon".  Then make one other post and disappear for a week.

4. Schedule erratic new content on the wrong day/time.
When you finally decide to get it together and actually post some content, do so on the wrong date and/or time.  Or, better yet, have a completed #throwbackthursday post hanging out in your drafts when all you had to do was hit "publish".
 
Look at my "artsy" picture


5. Break your phone.
When you finally do decide to return to blogging "for real this time". make sure to break the camera on your phone so you get "artsy" shots like the one above.  Make sure your phone is so messed up that the camera will only focus about 2% of the time to actually take clear pictures.  Who needs to actually see what's going on anyway?

But really, guys.  Even though all of those things happened to me and I do, in fact, suck at blogging, my computer has been having some issues which has made posting here difficult.  And by "issues", I mean taking 30404050505050522 years to load a single picture, if it even completes doing so.  Such virus.  Such computer savvy.
