huh...

when did i start liking the smell of fresh cut grass?! i've never liked that scent! i've always loved how grass clippings smell after they've been lying around for a few days ~ such a deliciously sweet summery scent! (now that's a scented candle i'd buy!) but lately i've found myself taking long, slow deep breath's when i smell fresh cut grass! (that'll last 'til my allergies start kicking up from the grasses!)

i realized last week that i HATE the color hunter green. i'd gotten away from it for years & realized that it's back in my home & i'm not sure why! it was one thing to get my old sleeper love seat out of storage & use it ~ it's hunter green. that one item of hunter green is fine. but i see that the color hunter green has started popping up all over the house! the quilt set my mom got us last year (or was it the year before?) has a lot of hunter green in it, so there's hunter green in our bedroom. there's a hunter green shelf over the love seat in the living room. (that i can paint, which i intend to!) not much can be done with the quilt set though. hubby loves it. but, it's warmer now & we can't use it again til fall.

is there a way to dye fabric covered furniture?! i know there's fabric paint, which is an idea, but to cover an entire love seat?!

the love seat's in great condition and i hadn't planned on getting it redone because i want to get our sectional recovered & reupholstered when i get my social security retro ~ that's going to cost a pretty penny!

my mom's bday is in 2 weeks. yup, so's mother's day! ugh. argh. sigh. (this has always been a... 'diffilcult' time period in our lives. my gets a bit... 'moody' around her bday... sigh!) i know exactly what i want to get her as a combined bday & mother's day present, but we just don't have the $ for it now. sigh. so, i have to see if my aunt will loan me the $ and i'll pay her back when i get my social security retro. i hope she'll go for it.

it's been a month since i got my approval notice & it can take 60 days for me to start getting the retro & monthly payments ~ we've been falling behind cause hubby's over time hours were cut all together for over a month & new bills are coming in & this family's having more babies & baby showers, the prices on everything just keep going up - at least hubby's over time started up again the end of last week, it's not 10 hours a week, but it'll be over 5, probably 7.

ok, mood swing. now i'm stressing!

i've got to find my camera! i don't know where it is! i've got to post pics on craig's list ~ we're selling a tread mill and surfing stuff that was left here by tenants who moved out. (been over a year ~ finder's keeper's!)

the town yard sale isn't until 5/17, so we won't be making any $ off that stuff for a month. (i'm seriously purging the house & basement and putting it all out for the sale!)

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
