Memories of Days Past…

Ok, I know it has been a really long time, and to be honest, you haven’t really missed much.  Sure I bought a house and have spend the last two and a half months working on it.  I also have the bums, bruises, scraps, cuts and scars to prove it.  I love working with my hands.  There is something about working with my hands to build something.  Of course I haven’t been able to do much of my favorite thing lately, but soon I will.  I love to refinish old furniture.  I am talking taking an old end table from Goodwill, sanding it down, fixing it and staining it.  There is just something about seeing a piece come back to life.

Well, I guess seeing how I already brought it up I should tell you a little about my house.  It is a 92 year old house, which means it was built the same year the light switch was invented. Of course many other things happened in 1916, I will leave that for you to look up.  I think I took off about three or four layers of wall paper in each room.  I took up all pet urine soaked carpet, put down new white oak hard wood floors in most of the room, and carpet in the two bedrooms.  I can’t wait for it to be done.  Painting will be done this week I hope, once we fix the two colors that didn’t come out right, (right now I have two rooms that glow).  I get carpet on tuesday, then I move in.  I am so excited and yet nervous.  Those of you that know me, know I can sometime scare myself when I am alone and for the most part I don’t really like being alone, but for the first time, I am looking forward to it.  I will try to remember to put some photos up later for you all once it is all done.

Now that I have that out of the way on to more exciting things.  Wait, I don’t have anything any more exciting then that.  I guess for now that is it.  I will try to post more later, and more frequently then I have been, well now that I remember my password it will make it a lot easier.

So, I have no clue what to write anymore.  Most of the people that read this are active in my life, so they know the important stuff, that and there is just some stuff I don’t feel I need to be sharing on line.  I don’t understand why some people are just so open about stuff on the internet.  First off you never know who is reading and second off what business of other people is it what you do.  Put world changing thoughts on is one thing, you know the thought that help change the way others think about something and help them to improve their way of life.  But I don’t under stand talking about the meaningless dribble of everyday life, such as Sue broke up with Larry, or Stacey sleep with Ken, or Barbie is mad at her sister Stacy for sleeping with her boyfriend Ken.  Who really cares, unless you know the person it doesn’t really matter, and even if you do know the person, who cares.  How a person choices to live their live is just as the statement says, their choice.  Gossip and bad mouthing does no good to anyone, it takes you back down to the level of a high school student or junior high student, come on, grow up already.  Take responsibility for your own actions, think before you act, keep your nose out of other peoples business, treat others as you would want them to treat you, don’t talk about people behind their backs (it only makes you look bad), have some morals, don’t be stupid, and most importantly respect yourself and other will respect you.  I am tired of people my age acting younger then my cousin who is in junior high.  No wonder I don’t really have many friends, I can’t stand immature, irresponsible, stupid people.  Ok, well I guess I did find something to talk about, anyways, I should get back to what I was doing.

Ok I know it has been awhile, but at least I am writting now.  So…how is everyone that still reads, that is if anyone still reads?  My brother leaves for China this friday, so if you are the praying type, please pray for him and that he doesn’t go into culture shock or anything.  It is a ten day mission trip, and they are staying in a Best Western, don’t ask.

I recently got a part-time job with a local bridal shop that just opened up here.  I haven’t started yet, but I can’t wait.  They carry excusilve lines, and desinger dresses.  They also have the option of custom order dresses, they are beautiful.  I can’t wait to start.  It isn’t wedding planning, but at least it is in the bridal industry.

Ok, so I think that will do for now, because I think I am going to be sick so I am going to go lay on the bathroom floor now.
