I'm baaaaaccckkk!
Well since it's been forever since I've put anything in my blog, I thought I'd better put something in here before I lose my readers......lol. We have been busy doing small projects around the house. We've put a new door on the front of the house and on the side entrance, much fancier than the plain jane doors that were on previously. We also changed the color of the shutters so they would match the color of the new front door. It's made a big difference in the way the house looks. We're going to put granite steps and eventually buy a granite lamp post to replace the current one and a new granite mailbox post. This will definately change the way things look right now, especially the new stairs in the front. We can only do a little bit at a time so I'm happy that we've gotten that much done. We also had the ceilings re-worked. They had cracks in them because the house had settled. Most people wouldn't have even bothered but you have to remember that I'm married to Danny. Stuff like that bothers him when it normally wouldn't bother the average person. There's lots that we want to do so I'm sure we'll stay busy this year!
The warm weather has spoiled me over the past few days. On Sunday, I took the dogs down to Pine Point and walked them. I spent the whole day by myself which for me, is a real treat. It seems like there is always something to do lately and I was feeling quite stressed so getting out and enjoying some warm air helped. I'm glad that daylight savings time happened 3 weeks early this year! It's nice to come home from work and have it still be light for almost 2 hours. Speaking of work, everything is going really well for me there. There are days when I wonder if I'm wasting my experience from other jobs with this one but at this point in my life, it's a non-stressful job and it's really what I need right now. I'm not sure why I always feel so stressed. I know that a lot of it is brought on myself but I'm not in the place that I used to be in when I could say no to people and put myself first and not feel so badly about it. I know what I need to do to fix my stress but I just haven't managed to get there yet.........so.........I like my non-stressful job and I guess money certainly isn't everything. Of course Danny and I have certainly learned that the hard way. We're doing just fine! Danny is staying pretty busy at work. There have been some changes recently and it's keeping him pretty tied up lately. They are all good changes. He seems to have adapted pretty well to this career change.
I'm finally taking some time to get together with people that I haven't had a chance to. I'll be meeting up with some of my female cousins for lunch this weekend. That should be fun. I'll also be getting together with one of the funniest people I know next week. She sometimes goes by the name of Muffin. We'll be making a trip to the Christmas Tree Shop and then to dinner. I'm looking forward to that too.
Our neighbors have put their house up for sale recently. This is great because they have about 25 chickens that frequently jump over the fence into our yard. One day I came home and walked into the garage and out ran a chicken! I was not happy. Besides, they keep the dogs barking so good-bye neighbors! I hope the house sells quickly.
So.....all in all things are going pretty well for us. This year will be a great one for my family. Watch my blog in the coming weeks!
