Hi ingrid_vc... I am located in Madison, WI. We have had quite a bit of rain this spring. I haven't needed to water the roses even once so far this season. We seem to be getting nice soaking rains at well spaced intervals. It has been a very bountiful spring!

Aspiring Designer - LA
Q

Hi Lauren, Some firms require you have a certificate from ASID, some don't. Yes, you can learn from a residential interior designer and intern for a year or two. What I would do right here in Houzz is look up Pros in Los Angeles and start contacting them to see if they would have a place for you. If you intern, you will be learning and possibly not get paid. You may need another job to support yourself here and it is expensive in Los Angeles. You will need a car. Rent is easily $1,000 a month for a studio. UCLA has an extension program to receive all course work to receive an ASID certificate. You must take the NCIDQ test to receive the cert. It is a 2 year program, but good. Hope this helps. Lauren

We never know how many more days we may have.

That may be more obvious when we're 80 than when we're 20 ... but no one of us knows how many more days may be available.

Tell someone that you love how important to you that they are, and how much good that they do in the world, and how much you appreciate that ...

... today!

Tomorrow ...

... may be too late.

I took my friend to his close friend's funeral today (former sis-in-law).

He told me that I have to live for another 20 years ...

... that he doesn't want to have to mourn me!

So - he's going to stick me with mourning him, it appears.

Some people - have no consideration, now, do they?

... even after you retire.

Heck - you got lotsa time, then!

Sometimes when someone and I are approaching a door at about the same time, I open it and hold it open for him (or her) and sometimes that person invites me to go in first, then I say that they should, for they're busy ... and, being retired, I have more time than they do.
