Welcome! Crafting. Cooking. Cleaning. Organizing. Baking. Couponing. Sarcasm. Humor. Interested? I'd like to share my mad skills with others! First time blogging so bear with me....it'll be a fun ride!
A little about myself.....(they say to remain somewhat anonymous, but when I read other people's blogs, I like to have a little background!) I'm 32, married, no kids, two dogs. We live in a rural area, surrounded by more cows than people. By day, I'm a 'super cool' Parole Officer (sarcasm implied). By evening, I'm anything but. So now that you have a mental image of me in your head, get rid of it....it's probably the exact opposite of what you're thinking. I am what you would call a 'jack of all trades, master of none'. I think i have hobby related ADHD most of the time.....i'll get my hands on anything and everything but rarely do i stick to one thing at a time. One day you'll find me crocheting and the next i'll be tackling the sewing machine and the next I'll be whipping out some paint.... then I'll move on to baking.....it's crazy.... really! Call it boredom or a really creative mind, I can't seem to stick to just one thing and master it. I love trying projects or recipes I see on pinterest! (Pinterest is fabulous, btw....) By far, one of my favorite hobbies is yard saling...but in our area that's only an option about 6 months of the year. So, luckily, I've got other things to keep me busy. I also LOVE couponing. Getting bargains really thrills the bejesus out of me. I'm one of those annoying women who carry a binder into the store...but i usually have all the stuff in order and try not to hold up the lines too much :) i'm not like those extreme couponers on the tv....first off, those scenarios are fake and second, no one realistically needs 450 rolls of toilet paper at any given time. period. but now i'm getting off subject....
When I'm not working, cooking, cleaning, baking, crafting or playing with the dogs, I'm most likely gardening, mowing grass, organizing something, yard saling, looking for healthy recipes, clipping my coupons, at Zumba class or working on our house, which is about 50% remodeled at this point (and we are doing most of the work ourselves). Needless to say, I hardly ever sit down! But i have this pesky unpaid lunch hour at work, which is when I plan on blogging.....
The name of my blog is two fold....one being "happy hour" as it can refer to having a glass of wine (no problem there!) or just doing something you love to do for an hour a day, whether it's going to the gym, doing something crafty or reading a book. The bliss part...well not only is that my middle name (really, it is) it also means "happy" so i'm encouraging my readers to do one thing that makes them happy for one hour a day. You deserve it!!!
So what can you expect from my blog? Random crap. One day it might be a recipe, one day it might be a craft project I'm working on and the next might be how I organized something in the house. Whatever it is, it's real stuff with real pictures and real stories of how it worked, or didn't work, for me. Oh, and sarcasm....you have to expect sarcasm. And occasionally stories from work. People love my work stories....
