Some Good News!
This Changes Everything
Hi friends! It’s been two months since my last post. Given my track record for post frequency, this one probably comes as an unexpected surprise. But I hope it’s a welcome surprise (like a delicious basket of mini muffins surprise) and not an unwelcome surprise. (Like a freaking worldwide pandemic surprise…)
We sure have entered the Twilight Zone in the last couple of months… But I’m not here to talk to you about all of that. (Smarter, less fun people than I am have that subject covered thoroughly. Exhaustively.) I just thought I would share a little bit of good news with you. And also announce a really big change that has the potential to affect us all!
So, what’s my news? Well, if you’re among my 17 Instagram followers, then you know. I am now an engaged woman! I KNOW, right?? The Vegas odds on that ever happening were long, indeed. No, not because I’m undesirable. (Hey, people desire me, OK? I’ve got it going on…) No, the odds were so, so, so long because I’m what you would call particular. I like my men the way I like my crappy house. Exactly how I want. So, to find a man who ticked all of my (many, many) boxes was a long shot. Like, if Vegas actually did take bets on me, you’d be mega freaking rich right now. (But they didn’t because I’m not famous and no one cares.)
I hope you’re happy for me. Now that I’m engaged, I’ll be planning a wedding, of course. This brings me to my “really big change that has the potential to affect us all”…
I’m changing my blog to My Crappy Wedding! You guys are probably bored with all of my DIY nonsense by now and I’m sure you’re annoyed with how infrequently I post about my crappy house, so this will fix all of that! There’s SO much to do with planning a wedding! I’ll have TONS to post about! We’re getting married next year on May 30, 2021. We’re so excited! I can’t wait to take you all on this journey with me. So, keep an eye out for a major format change. Here’s a preview…
APRIL FOOL!
Don’t you know me at all?? Admit it… I so got you…
Well, I am engaged, but a wedding blog? As IF! You’re stuck with me and My Crappy House forever. And ever. (And ever…)
I’m working on a legit post for you now for reals, so be on the lookout. Subscribe below to be notified when that’s up.
… A crappy wedding blog… I can’t believe you guys fell for that… hahaha

Girlie,You have exactly 125 followers, well now 126, on Instag. I would have happily followed your Crappy Wedding and since I am now fooled, I am also now in tears……….Wah……
My Crappy House
Haha aww! Don’t be sad! Honestly, our wedding is going to be amazing and I will definitely share it with you all after it happens. In the meantime, there’s still lots to do at my crappy house…
Margaret A. Johnson
Congrats Vicki – I’m so happy for you both.
My Crappy House
Thank you
Heather
I was thinking…well I don’t really care about anybody’s wedding enough to read blogs about it and I really liked the house stuff, but hey, she’s really funny, so maybe I will give it a try. haha I was already converted and ready give it a fair shot, but yeah, glad it’s still crappy house stuff!
My Crappy House
Haha I am flattered by your loyalty!
Barbara H.
Yep, you got me, though I didn’t understand why you were waiting more than a year and had no idea how you were going to write wedding posts when you have trouble with the DIY, which I much prefer by the way. BUT congratulations and enjoy the journey.
My Crappy House
Haha I MUCH prefer procrastinating DIY posts over procrastinating silly wedding posts!
(Though, we really are waiting until next May because weddings on Long Island cost the same as houses do in Florida. True story…)
Joy O'Shaughnessy
Oh, thank God. I love you, but no. I wouldn’t go there with you.
My Crappy House
Haha I’d’ve made it fun… You know I woulda…
SusieQ
Congratulations!!! So happy for you! I waited until I was 36 to get married – because like you, I’m damn picky! Well guess what………..he was well worth the wait! Going on 22 years in October & I can’t even begin to tell you what an amazing life we share! As they say “living the dream!” I wish you all the best with your soon-to-be husband! My advice:
Make each other laugh every single day! ?
Stay well & safe! Crazy times, for sure!
My Crappy House
Thank you so much! I agree, the wait was well worth it. (And I waited a looooong time. I’ll be 49 when I walk down that aisle…) If I can manage to live to be 99, we’ll have 50 years together. I think I can do it! And that’s great advice. We have so much fun together
Aunt Ann
Hahaha. Once again I will say you are nuts. You were meant for each other❤️
My Crappy House
We really were. He’s my person
yoginimama
Congratulations!! I, too, would have happily read a wedding blog
My Crappy House
Thank you! Both for the congrats and your reader loyalty
MARY LEE MASSIEON
Happy April Fools. Yes, you got me, but I’m really happy for you and us. I really enjoy your DIY updates and would really miss your ummmm updates. Congrat’s and wishing all the happiness in the world!!
My Crappy House
Thank you! I’m happy for all of us too!
Linda Theodorou
So happy for you both. You make such a nice looking couple.
P.S. I fell for the crappy wedding blog and was thinking that’s not a very nice way to start a marriage, lol, glad it’s still a crappy house, lol.
My Crappy House
Hahaha I know, right?? My crappy wedding! I’d have to talk about my crappy fiancé and my crappy dress…
Carole
Congrats! That was good… GREAT!!
Glad it’s still about your house. Your blog makes my day; a little like living in Seattle. One wakes up with one eye open , looking out the window of my bedroom… will it be sunny today? You never know! If it is, it makes my day! Looking over my email in the morning, seeing My Crappy House brings a smile to my face. Yes, it’s a sunny day. Thanks!
My Crappy House
Aww that was so sweet! Thank you! I’m glad I can be a bright spot in your day
Katherine Davies
I am so happy for you! Best wishes to you both. I have always enjoyed your blog. That was a fab April Fool’s joke!
Just one other comment – saying you’ll be 49 is another April
fool, right?
My Crappy House
Thank you! Unfortunately, no… 49 is no joke. But you’re very kind to ask
Cheryl
Yay, congrats!!
My Crappy House
Thank you!
Frances
Ya got me. Loved it! Probably would have read about your crapping wedding, but didn’t want to give up on your crappy house. Keep on
Frances
Crappy wedding, not crapping. Dang. (Doesnt anyoen profreed anymor?)
My Crappy House
Hahaha a crapping wedding would be a whole OTHER kind of blog… Thank goodness we don’t need to go there…
Mom
I can’t believe I totally fell for it. It’s like i don’t know you anymore. You suck fooling an old lady. I did wonder why you were calling it a Crappy wedding and what did John do.
My Crappy House
Sorry, mommy. You should expect shenanigans by now. You know me a long, long time…
DebbieO
Dag nab it! I can usually see an April Fools joke a mile away. Congrats n your already engaged engagement and can’t wait to see the post you’re working on (though I won’t hold my breath LOL).
My Crappy House
Haha you are wise to be cautious, but I finished the project for the post and took all of the pictures, so it’s really coming soon! No foolin!
Lisa Garber
Oh geez, you should have seen the eye roll “Oh crap, there are sooo many crappy blogs about weddings…” It never occurred to me it was April 1. Good on ya! And congrats.
My Crappy House
Thank you! I’m not usually an April Fools prankster, but this year it felt good to be silly.
Connie
I, for one, never get tired of hearing about your crappy house… Congrats on the engagement… Connie
My Crappy House
This makes me happy
Phoeb
Eh, no. Sorry. The “really big change that has the potential to affect us all” seemed a tiny bit unlike you, but ok. But the moment I read the next sentence I was like “what’s the date of this post?” and scrolled up to check. Sorry, not sorry!
Good one though! And congratulations to you both!
My Crappy House
Haha you’re so smart! I’m flattered you know me so well. A wedding blog is the last… well, ALMOST last thing I’d write. The LAST thing would be a blog about (*shudder*) KIDS!
Marilyn Pigott
I don’t think you “got me”, I just COULD NOT believe you would do something like that…not that your wedding is NOT going to be as “unique” as YOU are, but you blogging your PRIVATE planning…NAW!!! Just have FUN planning. it’s going to be AWESOME. Now, what the heck are you two doing in the HOUSE, gosh, you got enough FREE time to be doing SOMETHING, we want to SEE! ?. Much love, mar
My Crappy House
Yeah, I know I couldn’t fool YOU… I do have lots of time on my hands. I have some house things on the agenda that I will be sharing.
