I think I want to move to a new house, but then I don't. I guess I just need to figure out how much it really would cost ti fix up our house. We live in a decent neighborhood. We own the house, and it's super efficient, but it's dinky (700sqft). Even I feel a little crowded sometimes. I do like being able to know what is going on in every room though. I like being able to see the entire house when I walk in the front door. And I think I want to live in an RV or a camper van full time??????? Maybe my house just needs a little personalization. Other than the kitchen it's basically the same house my MIL lived in. The walls (except 3 in the kitchen) were painted white (they were more of a yellowish white before) by the friend we had living there for a couple of years.
The biggest and first fix-up we need to do is the roof, then redo the bathroom where the leak has ruined it. In the process of redoing the bathroom I want a REAL shower (maybe a tub/shower combo) put in instead of that stupid phone booth sized shower we have now. Enough on the house for now. How about some Happy Homemaker Monday. I missed last week, but hey, it was a holiday.
Breakfast this morning: Just a cup of coffee with suisse mocha creamer. Lunch will be when hubby takes a break from the job he is out on. Probably McDonalds or Braums burgers & fries.
The weather outside today: It's currently 75*. It has cooled down and the evenings has been in the upper 50's. I think Fall is just around the corner. The forecast this week screams NO AC NEEDED!
Looking outside right now: The sun is shining and I see clouds. I think clouds should be required in the sky all the time. They are so mysterious! I love looking at them and trying to see shapes in them.
So far today I have: Gotten up, come to the shop with hubby, made coffee, assisted a customer, paid bills, ordered ice cream, posted to the business pages on Facebook, put out and priced some new keys, answered the phone and took a message, and now I'm writing this post.
Looking around the house: I got on the ball last night and got the kitchen cleaned up. There are NO dirty dishes. Ok, yes there is, I didn't have room in the drainer for the cups, so there is a small stack of cups to be washed. This cooler weather has gotten me thinking about baking and homemade chicken noodle dinners. Have to have a clean kitchen to do that!
On this week's To DO list: Tonight I need to stop by the store to pick up a few things. I also need to vacuum the floors and clean the bathroom this week. The towels need folded and put away, as does the clothes I washed and dried last night.
I'm thankful for: the cooler weather. yes, I know that sounds strange coming from me since I love hot weather. ;-)
Praying for:
- my niece
- to get things paid off
- to get the roof fixed
Thinking and pondering: Not much, I pretty well summed it up in the bit before I started my HHM post.
From the camera: I still have no way to take pictures, but I did find this video on YouTube that goes right along with yesterday's sermon. We were challenged to not grumble or complain, and to do everything as if we were doing it for Christ this week.
. I also have another hold for "the Shadow Children" series. Ada's House book should be available within the next 2 weeks and the Shadow Children book within the month.Watched on the computer this past week:
I haven't watched anything lately. I know that's strange, but I just haven't been in the mood or not had the time.
I highly recommend AdBlock via Chrome Extension if you are going to watch online episodes. AdBlock seems to do the trick and prevents most if not all pop-ups. You can enable it and disable it as needed.If I have a few minutes to myself this week I will:
Not sure. There are several things I would like to do, it's if I have time or whatever strikes my fancy.
Visiting with friends: Not much visiting lately.
