I've  decided that I need a life but I don't know how to get one - and if that's not sad I don't know what is!  For so long I've lived for others - and actually loved it (most of the time) but now I need to live for myself - after all, as the saying goes, you only go around once - got to make the most of it!!

Anyway - if anyone has an idea of how to get a life - please let me know.

PS I probably won't be waiting with baited breath - cuz I just won't.

My week off is almost over - and I must admit that it's been productive.  I've made headway on the dining room - it looks much less like an episode of the Hoarders and more like an episode of Messy!!  But there's progress - my mother's china (I already had 1/2) has been unpacked - all three boxes and it only took 2 years. I just wasn't ready I suppose - and it's now in the corner cabinet.  There are few extraneous pieces but I'll work on finding homes for those!

I've made plans for new windows for the house - hopefully they'll be installed in the next month.  Upcoming plans include cleaning out my closet - but that's going to have to wait for a time I'm REALLY bored and ambitious, two things that don't usually happen together!

There's still the fence to fix and the front landscaping to do - bushes are gone but nothing's replaced them yet.  There's also painting to do - outside porch rails and inside trim - YUCK!!

My car is home again - the driver's window cable broke - it made a horrible crunching noise and then kept sliding down - luckily I could pull it back up!  This was on Sunday.  Wednesday it went to the dealer where I found out that it was still under warranty!!  Got it back today and with the window, the 30K checkup and oil change it wasn't horrible!

It's been an eventful week - actually the entire month of August was a strange one at work and based on today September isn't going to be much better!  Oh well - what doesn't kill us makes us stronger - or so I've heard!
