Please?????be HAPPY for me!

Back in July I ordered a new Vanity. I was worried because it was a month out and we might? need it before then. [Oh how hopeful/foolish I was!] Anyway, tomorrow I paint the HANGING new powder room door. That's IT, we are DONE!!! Oh happy day. I haven't the COURAGE to mention to him that we haven't even STARTED the shower room. It's sorta sad to see a grown man cry!

On another note. I got a fab. gift this  week. Some GREAT GUYS gave me a cabinet. Not just ANY cabinet but one that was made in 1948 for a television. It is beautiful!!! It has been converted into a wine cabinet. Boy, do these two KNOW me. Thanks guys! I don't want to look a 'gift horse' in the mouth but--- You could have FILLED it first!

Ideas---who needs them?

Didya ever notice----the person who HAS the idea--is RARELY the person who has to do the actual WORK! Case in point---'Honey, I want to replace the  door between the hallway and the powderoom!' Ok, we have an idea! To start with, I have neither the tools or the know-how,  just the idea, AND total confidence that HE can do it. We go to Lowe's yesterday. I spend 25 dollars for a six-panel door that will fit. This is JUST the door. It has no hardware or even cut-outs for the handle OR hinges. Now it's HIS turn. He has to make cut-outs for the hinges and door handle AND latch. Then he has to install said hardware. THEN hang the door to be sure it fits. Then he has to take the door off and take off ALL the hardware so I can paint it. Little wonder the poor man GROWLS every time I start a sentence with, 'Honey, I have an idea---:]

New Twist to and OLD game!

Everyone [who is anyone] knows Janurary is for ORGANIZING! Here's the kicker-I NEVER get it finished. What happens, is that I start out strong and then peter out before anything acually gets accomplished. So,,,, this year I've decided to do things a bit differently. I'm going to ASSUME that I won't get it finished, therefore, I WILL finish whatever litte project I start. What this means is that if I find something that I either want to display OR DISCARD I wiill do it right then and NOT sit it aside to deal with later. Best case...there will be small 'bits and pieces' of my home which actually ARE organized. Has this method worked for anyone....anyone....no?....oh well, I'm going to try it anyway. .....You could AT  LEAST wish me LUCK!

Potatoes and unusual smells!!!

Occasionally I ask myself, 'are you 50+ or a mere teen?' This is often when I have done something really REALLY dumb! [see what I think of teens? oh dear!] Anyway, this has to do with the afore mentioned potatoes. About a week ago Bryon and I went shopping with Bre's money, [I LOVE when that happens:] we picked up what WE wanted and also most of the stuff on her list. One of the things on her list was red potatoes. They were accidently left in the car. It has been 'bittery cold' [at least for US!] so 'no problem!' A coulpe of days ago I remember them so I take them out and sit them on the kitchen table where they have remained until this morning. I pick them up to 'finallly' put them away. The bag is dripping????  What???? Oh yeah, if you FREEZE potatoes and then thaw them, guess what? I can't believe I did that! This would also explain the lovely smell I've been trying to mask with 'scented' candles. Who do I know that would pull this stunt? Oh my, NO ONE! Needless to say, I owe Bre a bag of potatoes. Happy Thursday all and remember, DON'T FREEZE THOSE POTATOES!
