a new economy

So what would you do if you had no job and alot of time on your hands?

Home improvment?
Well, that's what I would do of course.

Current projects include, but are not limited too, revamps of our basement and attic.
You know... keeping your basement and attic spaces free of clutter and organized is good for your Chi. When these areas are not kept tidy it can have an effect on your mood, your attitude and your well being. These in turn affect all aspects of your life.

Also - I am doing my part for America. Its important in these hard economic times to keep the economy moving along. To pull our weight I am internet shopping today for major appliances. These include (and are also not limited too) a refrigerator, a laptop, a shopvac, and a sewing machine. (If anyone has sewing machine advice - please let me know. This is uncharted territory.)

Now I've got to go apply for unemployment. I mean... somebody has to pay for all this stuff.

new beginnings

no no no... not about the marriage.
We've been at that a long time, remember.

Oh, but ... thank you all very, very much for your well wishes. And know that we want to have a celebratory cocktail with each and every one of you. Seriously.

ok... about the beginnings.
I am totally wiped out tonight. Why?
I started a new job today.
whew.

My head nearly exploded by the time I came home this evening. My legally- married wife poured me a glass (or glasses) of wine.
I am sipping that now.
I am decompressing.

And I am very, very behind on all your blogs... going to catch up now.

Learning curve

Earlier this week I had even more fun gathering stuff from the yard to decorate for Christmas.
I made this:


I was so proud.

Today I took half of it down.
Evidently, only certain evergreens stay 'fresh' after being cut.
I have discovered two that don't.

I suppose even Martha had some early failures.
