I am peeping out of a very muddly day to say hello.
Let me tell you my day is all askew, mainly due to the fact that husband is unusually working from home, hogging the main pc, working in MY Attic no less, which I have to admit is causing me considerable discomfort. I know we technically share the Attic, that it is really his computer up there that he generously allows me to use, but still. I am very attached to that little muddled space up in the rooftops, the view from the window, the chill in the air up there (no heating in the Attic yet). And I miss it.
I am finding it hard to load pics up to typepad from the laptop downstairs (actually for hard, read no-can-do), and I am a little miffed because I had an On The Menu recipe all lined up for today. Delicious foody pictures are all on the camera but I can't work out how to get them on to the laptop, and cannot possibly disturb husband to ask. I fear I may not live to tell the tale.
I have already meekly complained to husband about not being able to blog properly when he is around. Husband said well you can surely not blog for just one day. What????? NOT BLOG????? Harrumph, I can do no such thing. I cannot for the life of me seem to leave my blog for Just One Day :: like not brushing my teeth, or going out the house in just my socks, the mere thought of missing a blog post during the week makes me feel all incomplete and odd.
So even though today I can't blog properly, even though it took me an unspeakable age to load just one photo, I am still needing to come and say hi, still needing to stick my nose into Blogland and peep at you all from out of the muddle, give a little wave :: Helllooooo, still here!
With any luck, normal service will return tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PS Is there a support group for Addicts like me? Bloggers Annonymous?
When you set up Bloggers Anon I think that you had better include me in the first cohort. I know exactly what you mean about the 'brushing your teeth' thing.
On the other hand ...it is not such a very terrible vice to have - the compulsive recording of a happy family life.

I wish I had your problem. I can't seem to get a regular rhythm going on my blog. Anyways, I'm sure glad that you have the problem that you have. :~)

Poor you. I would be feeling very edgy and grumpy. My answer would be...to go out!! and find something fun to do instead. Beck

Oh no no! I barely manage to tolerate beautiful boy when he gets felt pen over my work table which then wipes off onto my fabrics! Husband's not allowed at all! He has the effect of hitting a room like a hurricane and what is it about men and sewing scissors! WHY oh WHY do they have to use them for DIY?! t.x

How funny, I can imagine just how you feel, he's invading your space here! Blogging is addictive, mind you I fall into the lazyitus camp at the moment, just can't get motivated to write about anything. Hope you get back into your attic very soon.

tee hee, my hubby is working at home today too, and I've just thrown him off the computer for half an hour because "I just HAVE to check my emails, and see if everyone is ok", no chance of staying on long enough for a post though, and the little ones are nagging me to take them out.....

My husband's the same. He calls me Dr Blog. The fool.

This has made me 'unlurk', Lucy! How about those of us who figure out the time difference between where we live - Australia - and you 'over there' - and heave a sigh of relief because we know that your blog will likely be welcoming us with a shiny, colourful new post first thing in the morning? Puts a little sweetness into the start of a fluro lit work day, it does! Attic24 Addicts unite...LOVE the little mouse, by the way....Lynda :)

Men...I don't know!!! I think I have Kathy's lazyitus too, love reading everyones blog but hate doing my own! I'll look out for the recipe tomorrow - I'm liking all the cooking ideas on here x

Look forward to more recipes from you when you are allowed back on 'your' computer, upstairs in 'your' attic! Just to let you know, Lucy, I am making your fishcakes this evening, and the risotto at the weekend. I wish I had known last week that you had a banana bread recipe because I was looking for exactly that recipe somewhere, anywhere, last week, and failed.

Hi Lucy, Perhaps there is a group for those who like reading blogs but cannot keep uptodate with their own blog, lazyitus perhaps? Look forward to the recipe tomorrow. Kathy
