how i am passing my time ... for now

therapy.

apartment therapy.
the eight-step home cure

[check web resource out over here]

thanks to k for bringing this into my life. it is a welcomed addition to my bookshelf (... errr, to my nightstand book collection), and i carry it around to remind me that i am committed to this activity.

how long? ... an eight week effort. moi? i'm going for twelve weeks - gots me 3 other rooms (and a garage) and had to chose spend a week procrastinating contemplating.

where am i now in my weekly progress? ... week 3. sort of been hovering around it.

how am i doing? ... well, i'm doing o.k. enough for moving forward. there is a "feed me - outbox" thing that has underscored some of the issues i have (pack rat), and that is fine for me. there is a component of this therapy that involves cooking a meal(s) at home, which i will, as a matter of fact, be doing tonight. and there is a component of this that requires me to focus - and that's where i'm doing pretty good (surprisingly) on focusing. and finally, there is a ...

housewarming date? ... still need to pick it - and it will be sometime around the march/april timeframe.

o.k. - gotta get some stuff thinned out,
get coffee and enjoy my day off,
and buy some flowers for my home.

we heart silver lining and ...

... the gift box ...

... of pears ...


... because beyond the box ...


... we have goodies for shares!!!


thank YOU soooo much silver lining!
(little tear and hugs)

housewarming gift, you ask?

... why, that is not necessary! but if you must (and if you missed the side comment as part of the 25th h.s. reunion post), here is the excerpt from the post to give you a head start and some ideas ...

[... 25th h.s. reunion? ... feel free to do the math, if you're bored and have found some loose change in your sofa or in other people's cars ... you can buy me a b-day/housewarming gift - perhaps gift card(s)/certificates from ... oh, say ... target, cost plus, sur la table, west elm, pottery barn, flor, room and board, dwr, smart furniture ... or some new pillows? o.k. ... if not, that's alright.]

... and so you know, i've recently purchased some 'stuff' from pier1, aaron bros, and OSH (orchard supply hardware).

p.s. oh yeah, b-day was fun.
did ~ 29-miles of the 49-mile SF scenic drive
on my 43rd b-day. and btw, some of those
"seagull signs" may be missing!
