Comments (6)Mamma said there'd be days like this..mamma said, mamma said. Sorry. That song just popped in my head. I hope you have a better day today Linda, and that Anna does well in her tournament. We had a little snow during the night. I'm sure glad I made sure my hydrangeas were covered up last night. Leslie...See MoreGood morning Ladies
Comments (13)Luvs....is that you???? JK I'd love to spend the whole day in my jammies some days, but never fails someone always ends up coming to the house on those days or I end up getting called up to the school for something. ha I seem to be sneaking in short naps more and more especially when the night before I don't get much sleep. It is refreshing and I'm not nearly as grouchy in the afternoons when the kids get home and I feel like I can think better. So still on the run with trip to-do's I see. You'll need the vacation after all the prep work. ha I went to the TS yesterday, but only found a couple of old paint mags and a few little toys for DD and one funny looking cat toy that made me smile so I bought it to put on my desk. ha Silly, but whatever works. You can't have enough smiles, right? Oh, almost forgot...I did find a big metal star pocket planter for $1.50. Will hang it outside and put some flowers and flags sticking out of it. I know...take a pic. ha Punk...I think we are planting our garden this weekend?? DH has bought some tomato plants, black and yellow zucchini and cucumbers and we have green onion bulbs. Just need to get some bell peppers and pumpkins and canteloupes. We used to plant corn, but we have a farmers market right down the road that sells wonderful corn for so cheap it's just not worth taking up the room in the garden for. I do miss having the stalks to decorate with in the fall though. I pretty much live on tomato sandwiches in the summer/fall. What do you plant? Bebe~ have fun cleaning your paint room. I'm working on my hall closet today. You've seen those commercials where they open the closet door and everything falls on the person....that's about the point we are at. Our games are all stacked in the top and the kids never put them back right so they are in danger of avalanche if I don't get in there soon....plus everything else gets shoved in the bottom area. I can barely fit my broom and dustpan in there. Belle~ how goes the invalid? When's the next foot checkup? Hope you are getting the princess treatment. =) Ya'll have a good day. I'll maybe stop in for lunch. ~Anj...See MoreGasp! I have "Old Lady" Rooms!
Comments (73)Patty_V, sorry you think I came off bossy. I certainly didn't mean to. Of course it's hard rearranging furniture - we're in our 60's and a recent re-arrangement of our MBR and LR furniture required two appts with a pro mover who specializes in small moves, as well as 15 min from some younger friends who had to help my DH hold up a teak bookcase while I reset and screwed in the back so it would stop slipping off. Ah, the things DH and I used to do all by ourselves....now we plan things better :). I rearranged our own LR, not because I had to, but because I was tired of it after 26 yrs and it was never quite "right". So I thought the OP felt similarly about her front room. She did not put in any qualifiers in her post, if you will recall, regarding furniture placement. Keeping the loveseat where it is to look at the bunnies is very sweet (I was born in the Year of The Rabbit, in fact - go bunnies!). Ingrid's made some minor changes to the FR, and I do like it better. Her beautiful vases are much more easily seen and appreciated. We collect Asian art and mineral specimens. Every couple of years I move things around. It keeps the eye "fresh"....See Moreseniorgal
