the one where i take a break

for what seems like the tenth time this year. I'm getting depressed visiting all the other blogs of my fave bloggers who, as it seems blog as if there's no tomorrow. And I am always lef to wonder, where they get all their ideas from and why don't I have anything of value to add?

Life has been busy. Work is busy. We bought a house and we will start our major home makeover on the 15th of next month. That's all I can think about right now. Between the hefty renovation and an even heftier workload at work as well as the Christmas holidays and the pressure of moving all our staff and paint the old place, there's not much of a breathing space. So I am enjoying every day without packing boxes or ripping out old floorboards because the day will come, where this will be all we're going to be doing. At least for a while and then some. We're expecting the whole thing to last well until fall of next year. An outlook I could do without but what the heck. If we're lucky this will be the last time we'll ever have to move house but surely not the last time for a renovation.

On top of that I haven't seen the hubby much this month. In total maybe four days. He's been in London, Lisbon, Berlin, Prague. The only place he's not is here. When he's gone, it's like he's taking my mojo with him. Bummer.

So there, that's all that was on my mind now. The plan is to feature the renovation on this or another blog but then again, knowing me, I'm probably too lazy to keep track, though it would be great for later to look at it and see what we have accomplished.

Ahhhh, I feel your pain.

We bought a house in June. We're STILL renovating it. Should be done in 2 weeks. And then we have to "fix up" the old place so we can sell it.

I'm tired of construction, dust, cardboard boxes, dust, workmen, bills, more dust, and having two homes. And with the holidays coming? Bleh.

Hang in there!

Congratulations on the house! That is definitely a big project so its totally understandable why blogging takes a back seat. It's totally OK. I took a break last year for many months. I really lost interest in blogging so I didn't force myself and when it came back I went with it. That's the beauty of it. Hope hubby comes home soon! xo

It's not like you have anything else more important to do than blog??!! Take a break, cuz i can almost guarantee you will have tons of fodder once the renovation begins. Good luck with that!

Yeah, seriously? You're way too busy with the important things in your life right now to blog. Not having stuff to blog about is certainly nothing you need to stress out about! Just take a break and we'll be here when you return.

(and usually, declaring that you're taking a break is just the time when your brain fires up again...)

Love you sis! xoxo
