how are y'all...
i'm terribly bad...i've had no time for blogging recently...
barbie's revelation that she is now an architect appears to have thrown me into dis-array... well...that's a viable excuse for not blogging huh...
in fairness...i've been pre-occupied... mc wife and i have been busy busy busy...
i've taken to designing invitations in my spare time, and that has gained a lot of interest among friends... get this right...i charge a wee fee for my design services, not a lot in fairness...and then i give the jpeg to whoever and they take it to the printers...i actually designed an invitation for a wedding shower that mc wife and i and some friends are hosting, i needed 60 invitations...took it to get printed and cut last night, and the bill came to $7.00 or there abouts...how inexpensive is that...!!!
in the light of high faluting announcements regarding visitors to ireland...the dalai lama this week (by the way, he is coming to fayetteville next month and mc wife and i have tockets to go see him...)...herself the queen of england and himself the big un, obama in may...
all that has been overshadowed by my own preparations for my own visitors...this is my official announcement released from the house of custard..."my wee nephews donnacha and eoin are coming to visit over the easter break with their mammy and daddy, and their granny and granda (my own folks)"...
this is too exciting...the lads are 13 months old now and this will be the first time i meet them...cannot wait is an understatement...i've not seen my own folks and my sister since our wedding last july other than skype visits at the weekends... so our house has been given full attention...
guest bedrooms given a bit of an update and a lick of paint, bedlinen's updating, vouchers for pottery barn and such like that we recived for wedding presents came into play...home depot has been my best friend for quite a while now...as has wal-mart's garden center...
we spent all last weekend uprooting weeds and planting shrubs and pots and hanging baskets and revamping brown plastic pots with a lick of black and silver spray paint...so needless to say...i've been busy...
one more thing before i go..
the power of blogging...shame shame on me for not blogging in light of recent correspondance... hgtv have been in contact with me regarding a new tv programme they want to air in the fall, and how did they find me...via my blogspot...
yay me...
as it turns out i'm actually not a suitable candidate for the show...but regardless...it says wonders for the power of social media and blogging...
no pictures today folks...sorry... stay tuned next week for a few sneek peaks of some updates in our wee house in fayetteville...
