Thinking, Thinking, and More Thinking

I know I said the other day that I felt as though I was thinking too mucha botu some things, and I really believe that I was.   The thing is, I was thinking too much about some things and not enough about others.      The weird thing is that I was putting focus on the things I didn’t want, by over thinking them and trying to analyze when that wasn’t the problem at all.   Now that I’ve been able to see that, I’ve also been able to see where I do need to focus and it has already made a difference in how I’m feeling.

I still feel overwhelmed in many ways, but at least I can put a few thoughts together and not forget most every word that comes out of my mouth.   In my eyes, this is progress.   I know it’s going to take me a little while to muddle through the feelings and emotions I’ve been feeling lately, but I think once I get past tomorrow, things will be much better. 

I saw Sex in the City 2 with Desere last night and I have to say, I LOVED it.   I never watched the show, but I loved this movie even better than the first one that I saw this past weekend for the first time.  Yes, it’s risque’ to say the least, so it isn’t for all audiences, but I liked it.    I also enjoyed chatting with the girls who sat beside us, who were a lot of fun.   I came home feeling light hearted and I needed that more than you know.

I’m feeling hopeful, very hopeful, in many aspects.

Remodeling

Filed under: Shop til ya Drop — gardener @ 12:14 am

Most of you who know me know that when Marcel and I bought our current home, we bought it so we could fix it up. At the time, we only knew a few things- that it was structurally sound, but otherwise a mess, and that it was going to take a LOT of work to get it up to par. We gutted the place, and contracted someone to lay the ceramic tiles, gut and redo the kitchen and also to set up a new kitchen. The rest, from the walls to the Grohe faucets, we decided to do ourselves. We really didn’t know what we were doing, and even though it took us four weeks to get it all finished, we did it, and for the most part, on our own. Marcel’s late brother Frank helped him lay the wood flooring in the bedrooms, but the rest was a ‘do it yourself’ project.

The past couple of years, we’ve been making small changes here and there, but we didn’t do much because we’d been looking at a house and thinking about selling this place. Unfortunately, while it is a great market to buy, it’s not a great market to sell, so we’ve decided to stay put for a while. I don’t mind, although I can’t help but think about changes I’d like to make and wonder if it’s worth making the investment. It’s definitely something to think about.
