So we have been busy here, having sectioned off part of our 16ft by 8 ft garage to make a storage area to help minimise congestion in our 35 ft by 21 ft brick mini house

now that it is done I want to change a few things around here.............

I would like to finally get the first two or three chapters of the book ( I keep threatening to write) finally done!

Get around to decoupaging a small table for the conservatory...........

Get up earlier every day..........consistently

Transfer the cast iron will power I have around food ( I CAN just eat one or two pieces of chocolate and stop!

to other areas of my life.......

So what about you what are your current aspirations?

oh gosh!

hmmmmm

well I am working on converting the veggie garden from an epic disaster zone to something that will one day be a nice flower bed.

I'm eyeing the trim outside, it's badly in need of paint.

And I've got a few bits to finish indoors.

First and foremost is selling our home here in California, which is taking forever!

Move to the Midwest, cheaper, friendlier and more laid back, IMHO

I want to teach again in ESL

Pick up rug hooking. A friend tried to teach me, but I was all thumbs. I want to give it another go.

Visit our children in Texas and Rhode Island

Do a better job staying in touch with old friends

Try to look at life more as the "cup half FILLED." I am a worrier!
