Comes up for Air!
Hey all I am up for air again. What a year omg what a year. I have been just plowing thru all I can in my classes. I feel very comfortable now with computers and internet. I am surprised how well I am actually doing in my classes and it has given me a new found confidence in myself. I am trying to keep up with my social networking folks but I see that it is a job too. Sorry for being so delinquent folks!
I took some time this summer to just DOWNSIZE with a vengeance on our house. We were thinking of putting our home and land on the market and the man we chose to be our real estate agent suggested we wait a couple more years to get what we deserve out of our home since the economy has been terrible and the housing sales situation needs to shake out even more. He said, "I am retiring btw you are the last couple I am helping in my 30 year career doing this"Shoot he was soo knowledgeable but he was selling the family business to a bigger real estate agent company. Sigh.
But, the downsizing feels soo much better now. I can actually use my studio better and had the pleasure of a guest a couple weekends ago come over and paint with me.
Unfortunately we had a terrible roommate and had to ask him to leave for his attitude and drinking all our booze in a short 4 months. I think perhaps 3 bottles of vodka, 2 baileys and a couple cases of beer might be a bit much in such a short time? Some people can mess your life if you allow them to close I see.I was a bit frustrated with the situation but we dealt with it. My hubby said he would take the idiots stuff to the curb if he didn't get out in a week or so. Wow the loser got up and left fast! To use others I am guessing?
We got a lot of yardwork done this summer and we hired some help with really was great, I am a fan of that now! We have the money let's let someone young get the job done! We don't have the easiest care kind of land around, some of the land here is some is not. Depends on what is on yours. I think the apples are finally ready for the season so maybe some pies this year! Apple juice maybe?
I am not traveling as much due to classes although we tried a vacation that showed us how lovely it is to live where we do for now. I would like a smaller home and a better garden but that is in the future. Who knows I am learning that life is interesting and you gotta ride it with joy and not complain too much. I count my blessings to have a good husband, a nice home, time to do the things that I need and want and live in a relatively nice area of the world.
I finally feel happy to know stuff and not be a total computer innocent. I feel like , yeah I can do that its not so hard, and if I cannot I find it on the internet!!! I am using my writing talents too and learning I can really write a good essay from what the profs are telling me, well I always liked to write!
With the seasons coming soon we might travel north for Christmas but I think Thanksgiving I would like to stay home and snuggle my man and the kitty kids. We are happy to be home being boring homebodies for a while now that our home is ours and roommate is GONE. I actually felt threatened which reminded me of when we let Noah Miller stay with us and we had to ask him to leave. I am wondering, why do we have Man Children in our society and by the age of 30 they just seem like total losers that need a good smack upside the head? Especially when they have procreated and can't manage even being dads!
Ok on a happier note, I will try to talk to you all more now that I have a nicer computer that works a little faster and better and no goof ups and constant crashing when I try to do anything slightly more than typing!
See you all!
