Today I spent sitting on the floor pulling more carpet tack strip and staples from the hardwood floors. Yeah, I thought I was finished, but I totally forgot that 2 bedrooms were not finished several weeks ago when my son-in-law arrived to do the exterior painting. I had simply quit to help him, and the floors just went out of my head. So anyway, I finished that up and won't have to do any morel Whew! It isn't hard at all, but at my age, sitting on the floor is a challenge. And then I have to get up!! An even bigger challenge. Right now my right wrist hurts like the dickens, and my back feels as if someone has worked me over with a big stick! I took some ibuprophen with dinner, and hopefully, I won't be too sore tomorrow. We'll see.
Oh, I went shopping today, too. I bought a new mirror for my bedroom. I debated about it because this simply means I will have to move it, something I don't want to do. But after looking at this mirror, I decided I simply *had* to have it. I really do think it was worth the money. See what you think:
I think it's a keeper!!
Hope everyone has a great 4th of July!! Be safe.
you're funny! i want a mirror like that! actually, i think i have a mirror like that. that's why i'm so surprised to see what i actually look like in pictures and in a window's reflection. oh well!
ReplyDeletei love pulling tack strip up off floors. i would have come over to help you. anyway, have a great holiday. and for the record, i think you look familiar too. have you thought any more about from where? take care. hope to hear from you soon.
Oh yeah I heart that mirror!
ReplyDeleteThe glass doors at work are like that, I always look so good walking into work and then I get into the bathroom and the true-to-life mirros... Oy!
cameo - Thanks for the offer to help . . . of course, I notice that it came *after* I'm done!! ;-) About where, I don't know. Since you are relatively new to this city, it tosses out the possibility that you hung out with my kids. And in the line of work I was in, I'd remember you if I'd had you as a client. Perhaps we both just have those "familiar faces." Maybe we can have coffee . . . no, make that iced tea . . . or lunch one day before I move. Let's stay in touch!
ReplyDeletepatti - you might try closing your eyes when you go into the bathroom! hee hee! Sometimes I look in the mirror and say, "When did I get to this age/weight/wrinkled/etc." Reality sucks, doesn't it? I still feel young enough in my heart that I'm not willing to let myself shy away from having fun for the remainder of my life. So, if I need this mirror to make it possible, so be it!!!
Where can I get a mirror like that?
ReplyDeletecaroline - you'll have to wait a while. I bought the entire stock so I could line all my walls in the house. But check the website. It is http://yeahrightlikethatwillhappen.com. ;-)
