Sunshine, finally....

Mar 25, 2003 09:06

( I never thought the day would come when spring would come in New England. It seemed like the snow had found a new place to move into and we couldn't get rid of it this year.

It has been gorgeous the past few days. With the weather, I have had more energy. I get even more depressed in wintertime. It is worse this year since I moved my office down to the basement. I have one little window on the other side of my desk, and it is on the side that the sun doesn't shine in. In addition, it is cold down here. The thermostat is in the living room so; the heat goes on when THAT ROOM gets cold.

I have a little 'demon' child--Ryan. He is Sean's twin brother. If there is trouble, Ryan finds it. I am on a first name basis with his teacher. I keep waiting for the phone call where, the teacher has been bound to her chair with duct tape! )

Like you, I use the "1,2,3" method and it works for the most part. :o) There have been times that I have had to count to 20 before it finally sunk in!

I remember those days when I would get a little extra money and be able to rush out to look at some nice dancing clothes for myself, expensive make-up or pretty shoes and then get all dolled up and hit the town. Shaking my booty while dancing was a favourite time of mine.

Now, any extra cash goes towards any renovations that I want to do to the home. Clothes for the kids ( I am a sucker for liking to dress my kids well) and items for the house.

I now have forgotten what it is like to get dressed up, dolled up and how to shake my booty. If I attempted to do this now, I will end up looking like a clown. LOL

If I were to 'shake my booty now', you would feel an earthquake! Not only that, I would probably be in traction for months if I even tried!!!! LOL

I do the same as you do. I just added a gas fireplace, put new cabinet doors on my kitchen, a new front door and storm door, added a slider on my older office-now-a-den, and put in a banister on our stairs (we had one of those ugly half walls there), and had to buy a new van. We refinanced to a lower rate and a 15 yr. mortgage.

With this tax money, most of it will go to, paying off
car insurance but, I am hoping enough is left over for our side stairs to be made a little wider (like a mini deck), and a bump out put on it for my gas grill. The way it is now, I have to go through the kids den to the back deck when I use the grill. Just trying to find myself through the toys and Play Station wires to get to the deck is dangerous. Carrying food could turn lethal!

Ah, the fun we NOW have, huh? It's okay though--I enjoy everything that I do to the house so it's worth it.

You are funny! :o)

Speaking of which, do check out 2mermaids and chat with her. She is a very good friend of mine and you will like her. She is crazy like us. :o) Tell her that I sent you over there. :o)

Re: I just left there! placid_chaos March 25 2003, 08:09:04 UTC

I had a big, long posting about horses and bordering (and my stupidity--it is genetic), hit POST, and it told me she was friends only. I added her to my friends list but can't post to her diary.

Could you let her know that I would like to post to her diary? Just don't tell her that I am a freak, lunatic and kinda scary--then again, she might like that!

Just a Quick Hello! magikgrrl March 25 2003, 09:51:04 UTC

I changed journals last summer, and keep this one open just for posterity. :)

I am going to add you to my active journal.

I have been reading through your LJ and I have to admit that I admire you a great deal for handling what you have been through. If you ever need someone to talk to, I am here for you.

And I would like to introduce you to majestic911 since you will find her a fun person to be around. Another one is dewbear, but she is away at the moment and should be back in a week or so. You will find these two right up your alley. :o)

I have a fun group of friends and do feel free to join us. We would love to have you with us.

Hey Thanks! placid_chaos March 27 2003, 06:15:05 UTC

I am still learning the ropes here and just realized recently that, you can reply to your own notes. That is so cool.

Thank you for all of your help in making me feel welcome!
