VintageMauve.com 2.0

I was afraid this would happen.   I knew that once the summer semester started, I would have to put the blog on the back burner.  The problem was, I spent so many weeks not writing that I kept avoiding it once the semester was over. Here we are, months later and into another semester and I realize something.   I miss the blog world!

I wish I could say that I had a slew amazing things to show you that we did in the past few months.  However, we did just about nothing. The house looks the same.  The same uncompleted hallway project, half completed office, ceiling medallion-less chandelier in the bathroom and that pesky backsplash is still missing.   Why is that, you may ask?  As they say, everything is time and money and we just haven’t had a lot of either lately.  I suppose there was no posting, because I never felt like there was anything to post.

But that doesn’t change the fact that I miss the blog, and blog world.  So what is a girl to do?

This girl is going to try with all of hermight to get this train chugging again.  But, I venture to guess you’ll see a lot of changes in the types of posts you’ll see.  I hope you’ll stick with me and enjoy what VintageMauve.com (reboot) has to offer!

As a token of my sincere apology for not posting, here is a picture of my cat.

You’re welcome.

A Month In Photo: May

Boy, oh boy. What a month May has been!  It was all fun and games until I decided to take two summer classes. Somehow, every semester, I seem to forget just how much of a work load I’ll have. Total case of biting off more than I can chew.  Balancing work, school and the website is no easy project.  One, I most certainly cannot DIY. Maybe I should try to convince Andrew to contribute to the blog, aye? Wouldn’t that the entertaining!

Now with my obsession with Instagram, I like to post a little collage with photos from the month.  It’s so nice to keep track of where you have been, and what you’ve seen!

  1. A few weeks ago, I was surprised when Andrew brought me flowers for no reason at all.   It came at the perfect time though, after having a very cruddy day. Oddly enough, he didn’t even know the day was cruddy when he brought them home.  It was just on a whim.  A perfect vintage mauve rose whim.  :-)
  2. Over Memorial Day weekend, we were lucky enough to have four days off.   We went to the beach, saw a movie, did some shopping and relaxed.  On Sunday, we made our way over to Hyde Park Village which is a quaint shop and restaurant area in Tampa.  We decided to have lunch at a Irish Pub, who oddly enough, had the most amazing onion rings.   Thanks to a mess up in the kitchen, we got two batches of onion rings for the price of one.   As you can see by Andrew’s face, he’s definitely got that look of food contentment/coma going on.
  3. I may be the worst when it comes to pulling out of my driveway.  Maybe it’s the fact that I still haven’t gotten all to used to the car, or maybe I can just blame it on the fact that the curb is a little high by the sidewalk when pulling out.  Or I may just suck at driving.  Whatever the case may be, I did manage to hit our white picket fence.  Check out how the fence even says Michelin on it!  Thank god this makes for a really funny story, or I would be mad about it.  The dent I left in my car got “fixed” for what it’s worth.  Barbra Streisand (Yeah, that’s what I named my car) may be a little battered and bruised, but it’s on the passenger side.  If I don’t see it, it never happened.
  4. We finally got started on phase one of our office! A few hours at Ikea, and even more hours assembling the furniture, I’ve got myself a nice  craft and sewing station.  Note to self:  When classes are over, learn how to sew!

What are you guys posting on Instagram these days?

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day to everyone!  Mauvin’ Monday will be back next Monday.  As you can see, Andrew started to celebrate early! :-)  Hope you have a fantastic day with your family.
