There’s No Place Like Home

I have been quite sick for about a week. I am not sure what is going on, but I have officially decided that my family doctor is …. well, I am not happy with her at all. This morning I left on a business trip to Seven Springs, PA. Once a year our Mary Kay area has a conference at Seven Springs Ski Resort. It is awesome per usual. I left this morning at 6am so I could arrive by 11:30am for registration and lunch at the resort. Every 30 minutes I had to pull over. I AM SOOOOO SICK!! I felt even worse for my dear friend and her sweet daughter that were following me. They were so sweet about it all. Needless to say, I drove for about an hour and a half and then just waved them on as I again took the exit. It took me a while to get home, but I can say for sure, “There’s no place like home!!!” I am so glad to be here. I am going to put on some comfy pants and a snugly sweat shirt and chillax.

I’m quite content.

I just have to keep myself from thinking about the $168.00 I paid for the conference that I won’t get back, the doctor that I want to shoot for not giving me some kind of med to help this situation, and the hours I have to be in court at 9:15 on Monday……ugh!!!!

Content….content…no stress…breath….

Kisses! Proly not, sorry.

Like it, love it, or gotta have it?

We are finally getting our house painted. It has certainly been a long time coming. We have an old downtown Victorian style house. It is unbelievable what it cost to have them painted. We have had estimates from $13,000 to $18,000. Several weeks ago, a painter gave us an estimate of $5,500. AMAZING! Of coarse I wanted to say, “You can start tomorrow!”, but the truth about it is , these days, it is hard to come up with $5,500. Times must be tough for everyone because, I wrote up an offer for this guy to take $2000 right now and $500 the first of each month from December 1 – June 1 and he took it! That is like a six month interest free loan. Anyway, I wanted to put the colors past you and see what you think. I would have loved to have it be blue (my favorite color) but most of the houses on our street are some kind of blue, blue-grey, or grey so … we needed to go with something different. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think:
