To Blog, or Not To Blog: A Continued Mellowing in 2016

I am hungover today. Truly. Yuck. Ringing in the new year last night, this lightweight got drunk. I hesitate to say "accidentally" because seriously. It's NYE. Typically, I'm a one to two drink gal. I take quality over quantity most of the time, and though I usually get "tipsy" when I drink, I was all out crazy dance floor balance isn't quite there drunk. Thankfully, my body said stop before I went too far down that rabbit hole. I'm actually looking forward to primarily drinking tea and water for the next several weeks.

ANYway...

Happy New Year, Friends! 2015 was a year of less frequent Mannsion posts, though there was some excitement like finishing the outside, building a garage over twice as big as the last one, and moving the in-laws' house with a crane. In 2016 I'm giving myself permission to shift away from the house blog. There are still and always will be things that need to be done, and every season we knock a few of them out. But I don't have that deep need to document every little thing at this point. Plus, I keep feeling like I'm repeating myself. It's like when I eventually stopped renewing my subscriptions to Shape and Runner's World because I felt like the same information was being recycled with a different model or photos. Like the television series, Dexter, some people just don't know when to quit.

Not that I'm quitting entirely. When we complete a bigger project don't worry, I'll let you know. The updates will most likely come a few times a year as opposed to a few times a month. Which is what it's been for the last year anyway.

I'm still waiting to throw that house-warming party but, at this rate, any old party will do. I mean, we have to get the rest of the kitchen cabinets in SOME day, right?!

Thank you to the friends and family who continue to support, compliment and read this blog. I sometimes get people I haven't seen in a while telling me they love reading about the house and that makes me truly happy.

See you in a little while.


Cheers, folks. Ugh wait...forget it.
