Superbowl disappointment

February 7th, 2012

I was really rooting for the Patriots in this year’s Superbowl.  It was a great game, with very few penalty flags being thrown and the score was close for  almost the entire game.  Even the final score was close; 17 – 21.

If only they had caught that Hail Mary pass at the end of the game, I would be reveling in the satisfaction of my husband shampooing our carpets and  cleaning the house for a month.  But, alas, I did not win our “bet” and I will be doing my own cleaning (he always helps though).  But it would have been nice to have been able to sit back and not worry about the dusting, vacuuming  and dishes for a month.  Ahhh…it was just a dream.

Go Patriots!!!

I am rooting for the Patriots in this year’s Superbowl.  I have made a bet with my husband.  If the Patriots win, he has to shampoo the carpets throughout the entire house and clean for one full month.  I deserve a vacation from the daily, mundane task of cleaning.  He has to do the dishes, vacuum the floors, mop and even clean the bathrooms for an entire month.

If the Giants win, I have to wait on him hand and foot for a month (like I don’t do that already!!).  The Patriots are favored this year.

GO PATRIOTS!!!

Imagine This on your Wall

wall mural

This is not just a painting  it is a wall mural. Can you imagine coming into the room and looking at this, life size, on one of your walls? I think it would be fantastic to always have a lovely view like this to gaze out from the arches and see the ocean. I wish I could paint well enough to make this a mural in my home.

In the potting shed

I don’t have the opportunity to watch any of the Martha Stewart shows on television because of my work schedule, but I do enjoy watching clips from her shows on You Tube. This clip is of her with Conan in the potting shed, making topiaries from some plants that Conan claims he found in his back yard. It’s refreshing to see that Martha has a great sense of humor! Very amusing!

It’s About Time

May 7th, 2010

We are finally experiencing some nice weather around here. It had been such a terribly long hard winter that most people were getting pretty crabby and really needing a break from all that goes along with the cold winters. I know I’m getting anxious to get my hands in my garden and get on with Spring time!
