Odds and Ends

I woke up around 5:30 this morning, reliving the many fabulous choices out there in fan and light fixture world.
As I thought my thoughts and wished for more sleep,
I was happy to realize that we are getting closer and closer to the Foof and Fluff stage.

The stage that makes my heart sing!

The Foof and Fluff stage ....there will be no tape measures.

Let me say it again and savor this thought...there will be no tape measures. ( unless I have to ask hubs for help in hanging something, in which case there will most certainly be a tape measure and a level.)

I have some kind of a disease where the incessant use of a tape measure and level grates on my like a finger on a chalk board.  I know that these two things are essential in the building world, but I am growing weary of them. I like to just eyeball things. I like to slap things up and move on. Even if it involves making many holes in the wall. I think it is linked to laziness, but let's not go there, ok?  Anyway, there it is. Level and Plumb, I need you but I hate you and am ready to move on. Now I feel better.

Enough Ranting and Raving.  This has got me on a roll.  I am changing Level and Plumb to Level and Plum because plum is a color and that makes everything more fun doesn't it? I love plum.

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." Ralph Waldo Emerson

About Me

My Photo
I'm a wife of 38 years, mom of 4,and nana of 4. What started out as a house building journal has morphed into a fun way for me to share things with my kids who are scattered to the four winds.For two years I have written about the trials of two ordinary people building their dream house. It is always fun to look back and remember how it all came about. Now, I am ready to move out in lots of other directions...I love crafting, junking, reading and decorating. I am always on the lookout for projects that I can tackle to make my home pretty without breaking the bank. Now that we are settled in our new home, I think I would like to share some of those with you too.Welcome to all of you who happen to drop by..I would love to hear your comments and look forward to visiting your blog too! I pretty much get all of my good ideas from all of you! Thank you for visiting...make yourself at Home!
