Now that I am contemplating moving into my own space I find myself considering decor. Not the furniture as much as what I want to put on the walls. I have a couple of pieces I will bring with me but for the most part I want fresh things... stuff I haven't been looking at for years.  One of the things I am considering is a changeable placard that I can use to display different sayings.  I'm reading a series of books right now that has either bumper sticker or t-shirt logos at the beginning of each chapter. They make me laugh.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.

Lead me not into temptation. I can find it myself.

I know karate, and like two other Japanese words. 

Ask me about my complete lack of interest.

I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

What would MacGyver do?


The list goes on. The books are written by Darynda Jones: The Charley Davidson series

Many things have been happening around here lately.

I won't go into many because in all honesty, they are boring. But I thought I'd let you all know the progress of looking for a seaside [or close] apt./condo. It's been shelved.  * sigh *  The cost would be too high and the probability of water damage too great. Things on the weather/water front are-a-changing and it's becoming more and more difficult to find places that would be a good investment...and then there's insurance.  Many of the companies are raising their premiums to cover flood damage payouts and if you can find someone to write a policy for water damage you pay through the nose for it. In other words, it's not worth it. 

So, we've decided to put an addition on this house for me.  It will be a single story [no steps, yay!] 2 room w/bath. It's based on a common retirement apt. design. Kitchen, dining, living in one room and bedroom in the other.  It will be easier to keep up for me and I have to say I'm looking forward to it.

If all goes as planned [I know, nothing ever goes as planned] it should be done by summer's end.

Matt has been dating a woman for the last eight months and they are planning on living together in the main part of the house when I move. She has two young children from a previous marriage. Matt has never had a long-term relationship. It should be interesting. He's always been focused on work and school and just dated casually. Just before he got his BS degree he met his current girlfriend. Things progressed and well, as they say, the rest is history. He's still planning on getting his Master's but I think he's going to find things a little different with a relationship and a houseful of people to try to work around. :)  He is getting ready to start a new job that will primarily be telecommuting, which is great. His daily commute is 4hrs a day currently. 

So, that's some of the stuff from the land of topsy-turvy. 

Be well and prosperity...I mean prosper.
