Busy doesn't begin to describe it. We've been working since 8 this morning and I have to finish steam cleaning the living room. That will get most of the upstairs floors done...although I still have five more rooms to finish. We stained a built an adirondack chair my sister gave me for Christmas...and then my brother broke it. Hmmmm... We built the bed...it's a simple platform bed; I took the underdresser from a waterbed, sanded and stained it to a light oak...and left the edges of the drawers dark brown...it looks like I used old burned wood and I love the look. We built the platform and I took 1/4" oak plywood and cut it to make 6" borders all around the bed. I still have to stain the oak....I'll do that tomorrow night....but the bed is just as I imagined it and I love it. We even installed an air conditioner in the upstairs guest room....and hauled boxes of books downstairs. Don't tell anyone...I'm supposed to be eliminating some of those books. Lots and lots of little jobs got done...not as much as I'd hoped...my brother works five minutes and rests ten....don't tell him I said that...but it's true. It irritated me all weekend. He's leaving for Oregon tomorrow....and wishes he could swing by here on the way home...except he's flying home. I told him he was welcome to come spend several more days, but he refused. "You know....visiting you is like going to a work camp." Aw.....you say such sweet things to me. Actually, he asked me when I took a weekend....to have a weekend. Heck...I don't know. When I have time? Right now there is a lot to do and I'm facing deadlines. Once those deadlines have been met....I'll take some weekends...and evenings...but I'll have to get back into my studying as well. Eventually....it will all fall into place and I won't have so much to tackle....I hope. Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

You have an amazing ability to project the intimacy of your daily life across the oceans. I find it fascinating. I had a little dip in the water a couple of weeks back, now I plunge head first into the updates. You've also in the brief time it took to read about your brother, made me realize that I am not close enough to my three sisters. Perhaps I need to change that. ** guaranteed Goody free **

Amazing!! Wouldn't it have been quicker, cheaper, easier, just to knock the house down and build a new one???    Tone.

You've also in the brief time it took to read about your brother, made me realize that I am not close enough to my three sisters. Perhaps I need to change that. Thanks, Chris...it's a very nice thing to say. I share what my heart moves me to share each night...and often...I think it's rather....blech... As for my brother...he often feels that I am the only person in the family who talks to...or listens to..him. Since I am the black sheep child....I try to make my mother angry by keeping on great terms with both my brother and my sister. Ok...it doesn't make her angry....but it doesn't make her talk to me, either. I'm a strong believer that the people who enter my life....are meant to be there...and I don't willingly allow them to leave. I need my brother as much as he does me. There are lots of times we don't get along...but he is a part of my heart...and I can't let go of that. Family is precious...even when it is disfunctional. I hope you do change your relationship with your sisters....it's a precious gift you give to yourself. Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

I thought about that, Tone....but look how much stress, aggravation, irritation, learning, work, etc....I would have missed out on. And to be honest...the house was a great part of the excuse I used to get rid of the ex.... Perhaps if I'd knocked it down with him in it? Way to go Girlie. Tone.
