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...
Sorry for the long hiatus
I know that I only have 5 followers but I've been feeling guilty that I haven't written for so long. Life has been busy and complicated for the past month. I slowed way down on the cleaning out, although one thing that I have kept up is the mad search for things on Thursday morning to fill up the garbage can. I have managed to find many treasures turned trash as the garbage deadline looms.
Today, a co-worker and I were talking about the TV show "What Not to Wear." We decided it might be a good deal for either one of us. I wouldn't mind them throwing out most of my clothes in exchange for $5,000 to spend in NYC! That would solve a lot of my problems. Even though I really like parts of my wardrobe, I think I could part with it for the chance to have a few really nice, trendy outfits. Think of all the empty closet space I'd have. Even though I have purged about 1/2 of the clothes I had 2 years ago, my clothes rack is seriously bowed and I am just a little afraid that someday it will come crashing down!
