Wish me luck!

Happiness is...

The Power of Visualization

Our friend Daisy bequeathed a cottage to Kathleen in June of 2009. She told Kathleen that she could decorate the cottage however she wanted. At the time, it looked like this:

When Kathleen was visiting me in July 2009 she showed me the above picture, and with a lot of imagination and some Photoshopping, we were able to create a mock-up of how she wanted the cottage to look:

I said hello and goodbye to these boots this week. I can't afford them. They better still be available in the fall because I started a BOOT MONEY JAR.

I can't focus.


I am having a hard time leaving Couchville and TV Land. I need to re-join the working people.

*UPDATE: I was sick! That explains it. Motivation is coming back...

My head is in this.


I feel foggy. I have a little sickness happening and I can't even lift the weight of my own arms. I can't focus on anything. Ima'go lay down.
