I won't be posting today

Apparently Blogger broke over the weekend and now it's close to impossible to upload, download, or in my case overload photos. I CANNOT do a post without pictures. Why, why? Why can't the word part be broken? I could SO do a post without words.

So, I cannot tell you about the fantastic sale that my sister and I went to on Saturday or about the glorious fringe and trim that I bought. I cannot tell you about the wedding that I'm decorating for this Saturday and show you the GIGANTIC centerpiece that is taking over the NASCAR room and frightening my boys. I can't show you a fun grouping of metal stars that I made from taking stars down from every room in my house and then painted with a paper towel and put up over the piano. I cannot tell you about the toaster strudel I'm about to eat or the iced coffee I'm drinking.

I cannot and I will not. I'm sorry. I'll be back as soon as the photo thing is working. Until then, go read a blog or two that has words that are fun to read by themselves like Chatting at the Sky or Bye Bye Pie. Two of my favorites.

Sorry Sister Honey Bunch--this is now the longest post that you never read!

Oh, you better be figuring out a way to post those stars. That's all I'll be able to think about now. That and the toaster strudel.

Debbie said...

Ya know Blogger has been a little weird lately...server issues, etc. We better back-up our bloggies and back em up often. I'm a little scared it's all going to go Poof! Looking forward to your pics!

Katie said...

Hehe...when you said you painted stars with a paper towel...is that some creative new technique? Or is it because you didn't have a paint brush? I have painted so many things with paper towels due to lack of brush. But maybe your's was a "technique" thing, right? Can't wait to see 'em!

Stephanie said...

Well, I think this was a good post anyway!
You made me laugh, which should be next to impossible due to daylight savings!

The Nester said...

Katie, lack of motivation. The brushes were upstairs--i was down.

Debbie---WHAT!!! I need to back up my blog? I have never heard of this--HELP ME!!!

jeeeeeesh, I could easily throw a fit right now!! How do we live without creative ideas from Nester????
HURRY!! Stop reading and go fix it..:)

Cathy said...

Alright Nester, here's how I read your post...

"Hey kids! I've got lots of candy! It's got chocolate and marshmallow! It's gooey and fun. You'll looooove it! It's soooo good!!!"

"Oh wait. I don't have any."

You're killing me! Although I know it's not your fault :)

Blessed said...

Please post pictures as soon as you're able! I love stars and centerpieces and coffee and all the other great decorating things you post here.

I had the same problem. I went to Tools (on Mozilla) and cleared the Cache. Sometimes that helps with pictures.

It did help. I was able to post pics even though it was much slower than usual.

paperjunk-lc said...

Oh no you say no pictures.
It's Monday, there is that dreaded time change stuff and now no pictures from the Nester.
I must go back to bed!!!

Valarie Lea said...

I have had the same problem. I have a post to put up but no pictures will upload. I just can't post it without pictures. By the way I need to see the stars thing.

Tracey said...

You are such a tease Nester.

alas, I wanted to post the fab pics of the foyer upstairs and downstairs where we painted...yes painted the knotty pine paneling that has been casting darkness over our home for so long and I couldnt get the pictures to load either.

I will check back because I am so looking forward to your inspirations!

Whatsoever is Pure said...

Frustration indeed! I had to upload mine one at a time yesterday and they still had problems!

Looking forward to the wedding pics! I know you'll do great. :)

I have been trying to finish our vacation posts and yes, only ONE picture at a time! Jeez, it is taking forever!
Can't wait to see your goodies though.
Hopefully, the bugs will be exterminated soon.

Darla said...

*placing hand firmly on hip* Girrrrl you better get some pictures up or I'm gunna have a come apart.

I go to the land far far away tomorrow and I need some inspiration (I AM picking up more nests and some cloches - now that I know what they are ROFL).

Tangee said...

Okay, I'm SERIOUSLY upset right now. I can't see your blog and I can't post, really I'm gonna cry...first the battery is dead, then I can't post to my blog, and THEN I CAN'T READ THE NESTER!!!!

Melissa Lester said...

Your blog is just the best! I have visited so often that I find myself humming "I'll Fly Away" throughout the day! Thanks for the inspiration. Please visit my blog sometime; I'll feel like a celebrity stopped by!

Magistra Mommy said...

Blogger did the exact same thing to me, so I vamoosed to Typepad. No issues yet (knock on wood)!

Have fun decorating for the wedding on Saturday. Hope everything goes well... we'll still be here to see your pics when you can load 'em up! :o)

I wondered why I had ninety million people at my blog today. Thanks for the shout, you Nester, you!

Things I May Regret Writing said...

I'm new to your blog, but I wanted to let you know that I spent the entire weekend reading every single post. Yes, all the way back. You inspire me to throw out everything I own and start over (which of course, I can't do). Or at least, I should buy a hot glue gun (that is how behind I am! I don't even own one!).

Mama Lisa said...

your a funny writer. even without pictures your blog is a good one. :o)

Unknown said...

I love your blog!!! I'm so glad you shared the link. You're so funny. :)

Jennifer P. said...

I discovered (at MIDNIGHT last night) that it will upload them ONE at a time. Of course--the 5 other times I tried to upload my 5 photos and it errored on me somehow pushed my storage from 11%-15%--not very happy about that!

I can do with a little anticipatory waiting though. Kind of like waiting for your favorite TV show to come back....

Thanks for being so brave as to talk about your old boyfriend, by the way! I have that SAME dream!!!

Well, now I am depressed...
Hope everything is back up and running soon.

I know just how you feel! I lost my camera just after I started my blog, and just found it this Friday-and then I had no batteries! I was so thrilled you stopped by my blog, and so mad that I had no decent pictures to back up all my homemaking talk! What is a blog without pictures??

Chris Kauffman said...

Oh I thought I was the only one with troubles.

Amy said...

I was so happy to read this post! I just posted something on my blog about how it was taking me forever to post pictures... one at a time! (I almost always do 5). I just got a new camera and I thought that it was because of that. Yea that it's just blogger! You made my day!
