time is speeding by

i have not blogged HERE for 2 1/2 months. so much has transpired that i can not remember it all. old age & bad memory are bitches!

house repairs began in the beginning of october as the public adjuster got us some monies from the insurance company. all should be finished by this week.
we have beautiful colonial type windows in white trim and a new white door. they also built a little roof overhang to keep the rain away from entrance and railing for the steps.
the living, family and dining rooms are blue, a darker shade (blueberry) on the outer walls and a lighter (nantucket fog) on the interior walls, except for the hallway into the guest bathroom which are dark & the wall with the bay windows is a shade in between the two shades.
we now have wood grain looking vinyl (no wax) tiles as flooring...bought at Dollar Tree. and the baseboards are also a light wood grain.
amanda's room is tinker bell green with light blue trim on the ceiling.
tim kept his red walls with black closet doors (and ceiling/wall trim) and 2 white panels at door way.
the laundry room is a pale yellow color.

speaking of this week, we (amanda, tim & kavita, & I) leave for Kissimmee on wednesday for 4 days of birthday celebration. wednesday evening we will be joined by liz & roxanne and thrusday morning patsy will be flying in to MCO. that is the 16th of november, for those not in the know, i turn 50 on that day and my wish is to be at the Magic Kingdom. the following day a trip is planned to tampa/st. pete, #1 priority is for new tattoos and/or piercings. we will also be meeting up with gayle (maybe jenny too) for dinner.

well, there are more things to write about but i am not emotionally ready to do so as of yet.

no plans yet for turkey day, i'd like to go to shoney's again this year but there is talk of cooking at home. one thing for sure, there has to be a party planned soon...mayhaps a house reheating after we get new furniture and finish up the place. $$$...i thank my lucky stars for amanda!

til the next time,
~a.
