Oh what a sorry excuse for a blogger I am. But the good part is I’m actually writing every day as I resolved. None of it is good enough or interesting enough to show you, though.
It’s a dreary, wet day here at the Auntie B’s Wax World Headquarters, the kind of day I just love. It inspires me to be domestic and cozy. I like Fridays because I get to leave the day job at 10:00 a.m., which gives me a long weekend every weekend. I also use Fridays, for the most part, as a homekeeping/cleaning day. Another of my resolutions that I didn’t site in the resolution post is to honor Friday as a homekeeping day more than I have been. It’s so easy to look upon the hours ahead of me as freebies. But now that I’ve become more disciplined I should be able to get my weekly housekeeping chores done while most people are still slaving away at their day jobs.
The best part about getting the house work done on Friday is that there are still two whole days left to do as I please. I can work on creating things for the upcoming 2013 craft shows. I can write blog posts. I can list things in my Etsy shop. Husby and I can go out and do something together, like go antique shopping or take on a home improvement project that requires both of us. I can also just laze around and watch movies or read magazines if I want. The possibilities are endless!
When I’m finished with my cleaning and tidying today Husby and I are going to settle in by the fire and watch Dark Shadows. I used to be a huge Dark Shadows fan when I was in grade school and would race home so I could watch. Of course looking back on that dreadful soap opera it is practically comical, and I hear the movie isn’t much better. But it’s got Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins, so it can’t be all bad.
Are you old enough to remember the Dark Shadows soap opera? Have you seen the movie yet? I’m looking forward to it. For now I’m going back to my cleaning duties, and I’ll leave you with this little bit of ’70s entertainment.

Funny, I remember this soap opera, and remember thinking Barnabus was quite an old man…looks downright youthful to me now!
Oh my yes! Husby and I saw the movie last night and if you were ever a fan of the show you should see it. It’s not an oscar winner, that’s for sure, but really fun. It was fun to see Tim Burton’s spin on the old characters. Of course Barnabas was dreamier than ever despite that really bad hairdo.
Sara, did you ever see the blog I did about the Dark Shadows movie?? http://upwoods.wordpress.com/2012/05/14/here-comes-that-white-faced-blood-sucking-vampire-again/
Maybe you already did see this, but will LOVE to hear what YOU think of the movie. Oh wait a sec, am just reading your reply to Cindy. We really enjoyed the movie, too, even though not everyone gave it good reviews.
Congrats on writing everyday. I’ve run clean of steam in the last week or so.
Kathy, I remember now that you wrote a “review” and just went back to read it. I loved Dark Shadows (the movie) and got the good laughs out of it that you did. I also agree that if one didn’t race home from school to watch the serial in the late ’60s, early ’70s, one might not appreciate the movie so much. I especially loved Barnabas’ take on “that Cooper woman.” HAHA! Very fun, indeed!
As for writing every day, I am doing it, but I am not blogging every day. So I’m pretty sure that anyone who reads my blog will think I’m a big fat liar for saying I’m writing every day, because they can’t see it. Oh well.
I believe you implicitly!
Thanks – I knew you’d understand.
