STATUS UPDATE

[Jaylee53]

So here we are looking around, taking a peek... hanging out.

On some thread a bit ago, some one said how annoying the FB was with all the trivial updating goings on.

Personally, I don't think my daily updating is all that interesting but some times I really feel the need to share.  My kitties don't give a whit and the bird...well, he lives in his own world.  His updates would mostly involve "lived another day"..."got some of that shredded stuff again (cheese)"  etc.

Mostly, I have you fine folks to droll on about my meager existence and occasional moments of wonderful.

 

So, here you go...Keep it brief...mundane with a bit of intrigue.

Pretty long work day, but not a hard day. Felt really good 'til I got home. Then I just ran out of steam.

Turning in early tonight, I think.

[d's girl]

Turning in early turned out to wake me up, wide awake @ 3am! phffft!!

...watched the last bit of Juno, which I love, an episode of Law & Order, Criminal Intent & an episode of Law & Order, SVU. And I don't watch TV! Fell back asleep a little after 6am & slept 'til after 9am!! What is UP w/me?!

 

Off work today, but looking forward to a productive day-

> walk the dogs

> paint a wall in our bedroom

> do hours of bill paying, paperwork, admin stuff

> straighten up the house

> walk the dogs

> get a long awaited massage (yippeeeee! '-)

> do my double workout sessions: a dance workout followed by a Yoga/Tai Chi/Pilates workout

> welcome my guy home from Orlando

> walk the dogs

(they LOVE this new home where they have to be walked repeatedly instead of just let out the back door! :-P)

 

s/b a really good day. Please send me good vibes that I'll be productive.

Thanks - & I'm wishing everyone here a wonderful day!

taking a totally undeserved break. I'm not going to get the painting done today, which I really wanted to do, but I got the 2nd house project done, which I didn't log up there ^ ^ ^ & that was hanging artwork in the LR. So now I think I can consider the LR at the new place done. here's a couple pics...

 

...and the other side of the LR. Can you see my little pup on her bed? She just looks like a black blob in the pic. :-P

I'm more interested in the planes on the hearth than the pup. (do like puppies though) What's the story behind those planes??

[d's girl]

They belonged to Ducatiman's great uncle! We also have a big, red wooden toolbox that was his, that still contains the tools! It looks like a chest. It's in our 2nd bedroom, being used as a coffee table. Isn't that cool? :-)

[Bob Stepp]

Sure is.

LOvE your sense of style, d's!

[d's girl]

Thanks, Merry! *beaming* :-)

 

(now if only we could get rid of that TV in the LR!)

[TeeBubbaDee]

Not trying to compete cause a tool box is way cooler!! But we have Dee's grandfathers shipping trunk that he brought here from Wales, as a small child. There were lots of goodies in it when it was passed to us. Probably the favorites are his tiny button up baby shoes, and 3 original auction posters that were tacked up all over Mineral Ridge when he died. (he died and Grandma had to sell the farm) Over the years, we sold 2 of them, but still have one left that is matted and framed. I find it ironic that she was selling the land, the house, horses, cattle, farm implements, but also served lunch at noon.

That is awesome, Teebs! I love having sentimental bits of history like that.

[Jaylee53]

"LIKE"....esp the the mission style chairs.  Cowboys' got one!

Looks very inviting....

[d's girl]

Thanks, Jaylee. It's coming together. We really like the Mission chairs, too, and I got quite a deal on them.

Unfortunately, my age-related-dementia-riddled pup has nearly destroyed them during anxiety attacks when I'm not home. :-( I can sand & refinish the scratched arms myself, & we got faux leather on sale to recover the cushions, but the quotes for the labor to recover them is not in our budget right now. :-(
