Spring tweaking

Hi Blogbuds,

First, I wanted to just make a quick comment and thank you to Leslie over at http://sweets-mycountryhome.blogspot.com/. She explained why it is that sometimes we just can't get back to the very nice people who are kind enough to leave a comment on a blog posting. I do feel pretty awful when I can't do that myself. Understand that I work like 12 hours a day and between a demanding job and my ADLs (activities of daily living (i.e. shopping, laundry, mom-care, etc etc etc) I don't always have an opportunity to get back to you kind bloggers. I do read your posts nearly every day, even if I don't leave a comment. So please don't be angry! :>)

I am just sick about the Natasha Richardson news. What a terrible thing to happen, and I can't imagine what happend in that fall that would have led to this tragedy. The news made it sound as if she had a light fall, but something happened that caused a brain bleed. Terrible. Makes you think, and reprioritize -- how fragile our lives really are. What a wake-up call to let the dumb stuff just go and be thankful for what we do have.

I've started my spring cleaning and made some minor adjustments. I took the shelf from the bathroom and moved it to the dining room.

Took the black shelf and moved it to the living room...

And that's as far as I got!! I should be able to get to more next weekend. Just so busy that I don't feel like doing stuff after dinner. But -- I FINALLY bought a new vacuum -- Wally's had a great sale and I picked it up for a steal. Finally! Got a bit tiring shlepping the one from my mom's back and forth, so out goes the old one in the trash bin. They don't seem to last as long as they used to!

I do have some new ideas, so stay tuned!

I got my CS yesterday, an what a beautiful layout they did for Karen at http://mycolonialhome.blogspot.com/. Really gorgeous, and it was so nice to see her entire home and how fabulous she and Doug have made it!! Congrats, Karen!! Thanks for the eye candy! It is a really good issue all the way around. I'm going thru it nice and s-l-o-w-l-y so I can savor it!

Well, I must get my tushy in gear -- I have calls to make, so I must dash! Hope everyone has a great day -- maybe I'll get lucky when I pass GW in my way to my first client. (fingers crossed.) I have found nothing at all for the last few weeks, which makes me VERY SAD!!! LOL. Till next time!!
