Intro
I entered middle age a few years ago...okay, a little more than a few. Our daughters are 28 and 26. After they left, I cautiously redecorated their bedrooms. I did the usual, donated "Lucky" brand jeans (left from 3rd grade) and stuffed animals to a local thrift store. Next, I threw away countless plastic bags from "The Gap" and other retailers. Some of them included various amounts of change, which of course I took as my housekeeping fee. Every $6.40 helps!
I slowly bought new furniture items that I liked - a futon and frame, small roll-top desk, area rugs and lamps. One room was starting to resemble my new "office" which would double as a guest room when necessary. One morning as I was getting ready to leave for work, I heard (and felt) a very large boom-crash. I cautiously walked upstairs to find the dust clearing and about half of the ceiling of my new room on the floor. Ah, the joys of owning an antique house...
All too appropriate...
..that my last post (so long ago) was entitled "procrastination." I am feeling ashamed that I haven't posted in so long (hangs head). Now, I will attempt to assuage said shame by making a mini-post & confession. I was afraid to write last weekend because this is the first time that I haven't met a goal. I didn't do much at all in the family room last week or even this week except watch TV and fold a little laundry. It is still very lived-in looking, and the Super Bowl party looms. I have faith, though that Saturday while the hubby and the dog are off doing guy/dog things that I will turn into a whirling dervish of sorts and really kick some clutter-butt.
Will return with before and after pics soon.
