This is the Great Adventure

Life is a HOOT!

Moving along

I don’t have my office area set up like I used to with all the renovation so it seems that my time on the computer is spent just doing business and not blogging. It will get back to normal soon since my kitchen is about 92% done. Yes…I am exact because last week I thought it was 90% done and just a little got done this week since my handy man had to get himself married last weekend!!!

Things are going ok. More lonely than they were back in November and December which seems a little strange to me. I am ready for the warmer weather so I can spend time working on the yard and flowerbeds. That will help. Katie is ready to move out and I am ok with that too. It is time for her to get her life back instead of living mine which I might add is pretty boring. Sorry for the down report but things aren’t really as bad as they seem when I type them. Just trying to find my way without my big strong Bradley is proving to be a little scary and lonely. Even when he was sick, I still knew I could talk to him about the things going on and he would give advice. How many times did I not like his advice? Too many…now I would love to have some. Or just even a “hey..how was your day?” Enjoy those seemlingly mindless conversations with your spouse because when you don’t have them you will miss them.

Maybe next time I can report my kitchen is 98% done….too much to ask for a 100% right now!

Kitchen almost done!

For someone who never cooks, I am surprised at how exciting a kitchen redo is! I have even found myself staring down into my new granite thinking man…this means I need to learn how to cook! Then I wake up and realize naaaaa….I can just eat out forever. Then my kitchen will look like a showplace all the time. 

It is amazing how many times you need to use the kitchen sink and you don’t realize it until you don’t have one. That was probably my biggest sacrifice during this redo. I use that thing alot and never think about it. When it is all said and done I will post a few pics if I can figure that out!

Nothing much else to report. Things are great at school. I love my class. There are some talkers but they can get quiet and they aren’t hoodlums which is a real bonus!!! I get lots of positives from my kids which makes me really enjoy going to work. (oh..besides my friends that are there) Now…when I found out that I could retire in 4 years that made each day even more pleasant. I don’t know what I would do with myself but it might be fun to try out something new or just live in a different country and state each month. Who knows????
