There Are Just WAY Too Many Colours!
In my last post, I mentioned that I was picking colours for my home. It’s almost time to paint. Well, I spent this weekend trying to pick colours. Things I learned about myself: I get overwhelmed easily. Since I can’t put deep, saturated colours in my tiny house, I want whites with a hint of […]
Picking Colours
It’s time, they tell me, to choose the colours for the house. Once the work is near completion, they’ll bring in a painter to make it all pretty. I already know that my bedroom, the “library,” and the kitchen/laundry room will stay the colours they are. I chose these colours nine years ago, and I’ve […]
Thanks for the Continuing Clicks!
Since I posted my idea of donating all of my Blogit earnings to the Walkathon I’m doing, my pending balance for April 1 has gone from $1.50 to nearly $4! I may yet see that doubled-income month that I hoped for. Thanks to all of you who are participating. I’ve been clicking on some of […]
Bras — A Rant
It is impossible for the large-busted, well-endowed woman to find a comfortable, supportive bra to wear. I know. I’ve been amply endowed for ten years now, and I’ve tried every bra on the market. It’s even worse when you have the smaller proportions of a petite frame, as I do. Petite isn’t about size, it’s […]
Sibling Rivalry
My boys are all boy. And that means that I have to live, day in and day out, with the most outrageous levels of competitive spirit. The boys love each other, but each is determined to outdo the other, in everything. Most days, I can handle the competition with equanimity. But yesterday I lost my […]
Stripping
… get your mind out of the dustbin … I’m stripping wallpaper. We’re moving on in the house remodel, and the next step is to take the wallpaper off of the living room walls. Thing is, it doesn’t want to come off. I swear that the people who put it up must have painted the […]
Settling In
Now that all of the actual moving is over, we’re beginning to settle in at my parents’ house. When I got home from work last night, I told the kids to grab their bikes and we went for a walk/ride (me walking, them riding) around the “block.” My parents live in a neighbourhood where there […]
Made It!
We had a wonderful weekend. The children and I went to PF Chang’s for supper on Friday evening, went home and got ready for bed, read a chapter in our Dr. Doolittle book, and were tucked in with the lights out right at 9 p.m. We didn’t wake up until 7:45 on Saturday morning, just […]
TGIF! I’m Exhausted!
The two weeks of getting to bed at 11 p.m. or later (and getting up at 6) have wiped me out. I’m beat. And of course, today, when I can barely drag myself from one side of my cubicle to the other, my boss gives me a large project that requires careful attention to details […]
Things Are Moving Fast!
They pulled out the tub, took down the kitchen cabinets, and took out all of the linoleum in the house yesterday. They also took down a section of one wall, where we are opening up a room a bit to make a more convenient entrance. Under the tub, they found quite a hoard of acorns. […]
