We start 2014 slowly, all of us, the wi-fi included. Apparently the idea that the blog has been without content for days now does not concern the revellers as they clog the airwaves with wishes of festive cheer. So I turn back to a blank page to scribble my ideas and thoughts down . Nothing comes so I find something else to do.
The day unfolds and reveals itself as the cursor blinks. The day here gets hotter and bit by bit it becomes impossible to sit still. I do some cleaning, a little cooking and then I find myself back here. Back to put into words my hopes for 2014. Back to make a resolution or two. Back because I love to blog and without it life seems a little less exciting.
So here I go.
This year I resolve to be peaceful. To go with the flow more, to do the clichéd following of my bliss. To laugh and love, to cook and eat, to dress up and go out more. I will plan a little bit less, do a little bit more and enjoy the time I spend where I spend it.
I have some big plans for 2014 for this blog and the communities associated with it. I hope you’ll join me as things get a wee bit more exciting. I want to talk more about confidence, about being awesome, about people and about personal style. There’s something in the works, hint hint, that will see all these things and more delivered to your inbox daily. Watch out for your chance to sign up next week.
Hubby wants more recipes on the blog, more use of the billions of cookbooks I own and more chances for us to entertain at home. So of course I will oblige. I love to cook, I’ve been missing it actually. I may not be able to bake to sable my life {perhaps I might learn?} but I do throwing things together and seeing what shows up.
2014 is the year of keeping our promises. At home we are seeing through some long forgotten plans, doing the things we said we would do a while ago. Cleaning up, cleaning out and letting go. Hear that Hubby, letting go. That means you buddy. Our house will have the final touches that make it our home. I expect that there will be more blackboard paint involved just quietly.
And finally we welcome a new furry addition to the family this year. We are getting a dog! She will be here within the fortnight, is yet to be named and is the reason behind the sudden completion of our back fence that has been a work in progress for almost 6 years now. I like her already. I wonder about what life looks like with a dog and realise as usual I am over thinking it. Morons get pets all the time. I’m sure I can manage it.
So there you go. My resolutions, my commitments, my goals. The updates with what’s new around here. The lame part is that there’s not much new. We’ve had an amazing 2013, enjoyed it thoroughly, we pretty much want another year like that but betterer. As you do. So welcome back to a shiny new year of Suger Coat It. Let’s get on with that whole living the sweet life thing, shall we? All those in favour say aye!
AYE!!
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
Aye Aye Captain xxx
Woot!
Yayyyy, puppy!! Make sure you spam us with puppy photos. I’m so excited for you.
Also, right there with you on the no internets. My slightly-less-than-beloved husband decided to blow through our internet and we’ve had dialup speeds for the last twelve days. Which, as you know, means virtually nothing. NOTHING! Thankfully, we are back. It’s like having my arm cut off.
Oh my goodness, can you believe the dog fell through pretty much the day after I wrote this. We’re still going to get a dog, but now we have to find another one. Awkward. Expect spam!
It’s THE WORST. Gympie internet can just be like that sometimes and it sucks. Around here we call that dial-up speed penalty overtime. Haha. you could invent the internet faster. 😉
Love you, love your plans and goals and rambled over thinking. Very excited to see what you have in store I love talking about awesomeness and being more of that. I’m down with that. I’m tuned and ready bring it on. X
Big love to you too lady! Thank you again for your support. It’s so appreciated.
AYE!!
What kind of furbaby will be joining your family?!
xo
YAY!
And the dog we had lined up fell through. Sad face. Seriously, the universe likes to mess with me IYKWIM, gosh I can’t even get a freaking DOG! Haha. She was a two year old lab. We still plan on getting a dog, we’ll just have to find another in need of a home first.
Aww that’s a shame BUT there will be a dog out there who is destined to have their world rocked by the “Sugers” and therefore, he/she will make an appearance when they’re meant to x
Sounds familiar. Haha. Thanks babe. I’m sure dogs are a little easier to come by than kids. 😉
aye!
sounds wonderful! Especially the dog part haha 🙂
YAY! And the dog part is slightly delayed, but still happening. Gosh. Spoke too soon.
Go you!
Woot! Thanks.
AYE AYE!
YAAAY.
2014 sounds like its going to shape up wonderful for you!!! Can’t wait to see where the blog goes this year. Happy New Year Mel! 🙂
I hope so. I’m excited to see where it oges. REALLY excited. I have lots of ideas and can’t wait to see them either pan out or crash and burn spectacularly! Thank you, HNY to you too lovely.
