Hope's blog

In hindsight(hindsight makes me feel stupid and thus cranky), I should have known I'd pay someday. I feel like a victim today. I have a few excuses at the ready.

1.)I did not have *any* christmas decorations, or tree last year as we were painting the old house and prepping for the real estate market. --read more

Hi all, it's been a loonngggg time since I've come by. A big resolve for this new year was to find my password so I could login and post again. I also wanted to be certain I was ready to be consistant with posting again as dropping by and disappearing just heaps on guilt which I don't bear well.--read more

I read this article this morning on my homepage and all I could think was..."I could care less, just leave my stuff alone".

Don't get me wrong, I think my DH is just the greatest guy. He's kind, considerate, logical, responsible, cute, clever and witty. And he does BAD THINGS! Which he squirms out of with hilarious reasoning.

DH is a tool man. He has them all and thinks he needs more. He has a 2 1/2 car garage that we don't park cars in and another single garage out back. He needs the space for his collection of toys(tools). I still find tool collections in the bathroom, the kitchen, the office desk, anywhere. He says they're handy. His garage is a disorganized mess! DH is OK with me borrowing a tool if I need it, but I'm expected to put it back. No problem as long as I can find what I need in that mess. Why can't he just organize it? He can't even find his own stuff. Chances are good that I'm more apt to know where something is than he is. In truth, he would prefer it if I did'nt touch a thing.--read more

I'm a patient soul BUT...I'm having serious TNH withdrawl right now. I keep checking in throughout the day to see if everything is up and running yet. It's not, and there is never anyone chatting when I check(insert sad, weepy face).

My tech challenged mind boggles when I try and consider the task of moving a web site. I hope Lynn knows how much we all appreciate her hard work( insert hand clapping animated yelllow guy)(and boquets).

It's been nasty cold at night here, the leaves are falling at a real clip and everything has taken hard frost now. I spent my morning out pulling my deck pots clean, clipping hedges and cleaning up flowerbeds. We expect a nice turn in the weather heading into the weekend with daytime highs from 17 to 20C until Sunday. DH has planned a golfing marathon for us. I keep trying to remind him about the yardwork and the eavestroughs that need clearing, but all he can think about is how much golf he can squeeze into any remaining good weather. I'd much rather be golfing myself, but I also hate getting caught by snow when I don't have the yard ready. Oh well...it happens every year....why should this one be any different.--read more

I'm just busy learning new tricks today . I threw that in to see if the little faces work on the blog. I am sooo tech challenged I'm not even sure how I got here or if I'll ever make it back. I'm not even sure what a blog is supposed to look like. What do we put on these blogs anyway? Now, to play around with this some more and see if I can *really* stress myself out.
