when you drop your laptop.
GIven my recent history of two broken toilets, one broken washing machine, a broken front door, a broken camera, a broken lawn mower...it was bound to happen.
BUT,after visiting the doctor yesterday my cholesterol is fantastic! My blood pressure is good and my blood sugar is normal...(amazing since I basically eat sugar for breakfast lunch and dinner).
Double negative makes a positive? Isn't that how it works?
Have a wonderful week.
Please have a wonderful week, and.......thank you.
:)
(and Jacob) WE CAN USE THE FRONT DOOR AGAIN!!!
I know I know, it's about time.
I'm alittle slow in the repair department. But thanks to the kindness of friends, the Hilchie family installed our new door handle and deadbolt. Beautiful isn't it? Just in time for some winter weather which is rumored to be arriving very soon.
AND......when they were here, they fixed my washing machine AND the mainfloor toilet.
I will never ever take these things for granted again. EVER.
Who knew a door could bring so much happiness:)
Thankyou Hilchie family for being such great neighbors and friends.
On two accounts.
A couple of my very loyal readers have called me out on my lack of postings. Yes, I confess, it's true. I said I'd post and I didn't. We've had some beautiful weather so the kids and I have been taking advantage.
Secondly, my front door is busted once again. So we're back to using the back door until I get it fixed. This is a recurring issue. Time to call in the specialists, the door handle specialists:)
Today is another beautiful day so I'm going to take advantage of it while it lasts.
Have a fantastic day.
I am,
After almost 4 months of being out of order, I'm back.
I hope that some of you are still out there. I have alot to share
Can't wait to get posting again.
See you tomorrow:)
Good thing I like walking ;)
Take one gallon of Raspberry Truffle paint, one very special friend, alot of laughter, some K-Tel records and what do you get?
You get a makeover of a mudroom. A long awaited makeover.
Once the basement was finished, there were alot of boxes and totes left over that had no immediate home. So they went into the mudroom.....last fall. That's a long time to be without a mudroom.
But my friend Sara, came to my rescue! She spent two days with me to 'clean' out the mudroom. After some discussion, we decided that the shoe rack could use a coat of paint......one coat of paint led to another....which led to another......and pretty soon.....
Voila!
with a fresh coat of paint for the front door....
What a great weekend. The mudroom is done, the grass is cut...it's BIG Garbage week which means all the big garbage goes out. It means when you drive around, you can pick up some great things in other people's garbage. Of course I don't do that....hee hee hee.
Have a great week everyone:)
a little something new.....
No...it's not the carpet......no it's not the dog and no it's not the electrical outlet....
Is that what I think it is?
Is that a PEZ collection?
My word, I think it is.
And there is a new member of the family. The first person who can guess what it is, gets a fanTAStic prize. Yes I said it, fanTAStic.
Over and out on a wet chilly Sunday night, where the best place to be is in a cozy basement.
Have a great week everyone:)
UPDATE: To Tina and Chris-WHERE are your submissions?????? And to Gayle and Jennifer....I know I confess my deepest, darkest, most important secrets to you, but do you have to air them on public internet???? Honestly you two. And furthermore, how do you know I didn't purchase, or win a new PEZ since my latest purchase? That might have been a decoy...I THOUGHT you two would know me better:)
While we are here...let's just up the ante.....what is one PEZ I really want? Separate prize;)
Anne....you mean I want to be Elastigirl and I am Cookie Monster???? Good guesses but not quite.....
Chris you're getting closer....if I was Wonder Woman (and who's to say I'm not!) but if I was Wonder Woman, who would I want to marry?
Anne...you are assuming WonderWoman would marry a superhero.....maybe not?......
no dirt, no grass, no paints, no liquids, no dust, no crumbs, no shoes, no boots, no hockey equipment, no furniture, no paper, no junk, no plants, no cremes , no lotions, no animals.
Edited: NO TEENAGERS. Sorry Hannah, sorry Jacob, but I've changed my mind. This basement is now mine. I"m officially moving into the basement. I don't care what you do with the rest of the house.:)
the carpet's being installed today....
