Live and Let Live!

When it comes to decorating our humble abode, I definitely have plans. My husband stayed here alone for many years so just imagine what the house looked like when I arrived – a typical bachelor’s pad. It certainly needed a woman’s touch and though I’ve done some few decorating here, there is still a lot that I want to do.

Changing some of the old furniture; yeah, that is a definite to do. I had been looking and there are just so many choices that I like, including hickory furniture. But I have a budget so I just can’t grab it at the moment. I’ve been thinking of having a built-in cabinet too for the TV and his enormous collection of books. I still have to ask his carpenter stepson about that so I will have an idea how much will it cost. I do hope it won’t cost us an arm and a leg.

Do you, as I, go brain dead at times? Like an idea has been running in your mind for days and when the time comes that you want to express it, you totally forget exactly what you wanted to say? I can be like that as well as my husband and we just tease each other that it is memory gap hitting us. LOL.

And it happened to me a while ago. I was sitting in the living room with the husband watching his favorite baseball team play, the Atlanta Braves, when I thought of going to the PC to check about laminate flooring. But when I got to the PC, I forgot what I was going to check. Oh boy! I think I need to keep my memory intact by laminating it. Teehee.
