Let me explain. We gave up our king size bed in exchange for 2 twin sized adjustable beds.  After surgery, he was able to lift himself up out of bed by using the hydraulics on the bed and I did not physically have to assist him.  More independence for him, less strain on my back. We have a small party fridge and microwave in his closet in the MBR.  He keeps his insulin and snacks there. &n...

Feng shui encourages such changes as a way to breathe new life into the home and push out negative energy. Read here to look into changing the set up of each room to improve the balance and comfort there. When it comes time to decorate your baby’s nursery, perhaps its wise to set it up with a little feng shui in mind.   Ahhhh, peace….

But, the closing of Alex’s birthday weekend reminded me yet again that my inspirations for decoration, like most of my ideas that last, come from nowhere. Birthday chocolate chip cookies. Image: Jill Cornfield Yesterday, Jill and I too tired to head out at 6 p.m. and buck the crowds leaving a Fifth Avenue parade, decided to do birthday brownies for Alex. Then Jill got the lightning bolt to serve, instead of brownies, birthday chocolate chip cookies! Some ideas are just right the instant you hear th...

Go to Ikea.  The world’s most horribly amazing place.  An entire apartment fits on 1 flatbed cart.  I...

I did this because everyone told me that if I ever exercised, I would love it. I knew I would not love it, ever, so I took the course to prove that love would forever be absent.When I was pregnant with my third child, I bought one of those new fangled runner’s strollers, so that I could run with my two smaller children, and prove to everyone that running was totally hateful, pointless and shrinks your stature as your legs wear out faster than nature intended.When I was pregnant with my fourth child, my husband gave me a pottery wheel for our wedding anniversary, for some laudable reason best known to himself. I had never had anything to do with clay or pottery. He claimed that it would pr...

I don’t think he was ready for the fatigue and malaise that accompanies any in-hospital procedure though, or the effects of the drugs. Fortunately, he did rest over the weekend and gave into urges to nap. I have had my own recovering from his ordeal to do. His bout with cancer has made me feel that we have been infiltrated. Before when it was just me in the household that had a bout with cancer, I thought we had secured our home from further threat. Now I am finding myself desiring to nest and stay home so nothing else gets in. This has led me to spend the weekend tidying the house and adding a few decorating touches. I love the fall, but I didn’t want t...

Here are some ways to cope: talking about the deceased person is okay. Your stress will only increase if the deceased person’s memory is allowed to become a landmine that everyone tiptoes around. things won’t be the same. It’s normal to feel at odds with yourself and family events when dealing with grief. Do not isolate, but limit involvement when you need to and plan new events. don’t let other people’s expectations dictate how your holiday will unfold. If you don’t feel like doing something this Christmas, don’t let others force you. If you do want to attend holiday functions, make sure you know your limit...

At least on Monday afternoons!I have an appointment to get our biga$$car tuned up tomorrow morning at the crack of morning. The big 120,000 mile appointment. Do not ask me why I scheduled it so early in the morning. I guess I thought it would be a good call. You know, get it in early and they'll have it done so much more quickly. This means I'll be dealing with the rush hour traffic of people going to work in the cities. It will be great. And pricey. I ran the car through the car wash last week. Ever since then it has sounded like it hasn't had grease anywhere. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeel. People look for us blocks away when we are coming down the street. I'm guessing they think there must be a runaw...

We are, for the most part, living with the decisions made so far and letting them settle. We are getting the feel for living in this space and seeing how we utilize the various rooms and what we think we still need. Last week we drove in to our development and the guy who has a blinds company was just loading up his car after meeting with one of the new town home owners. We stopped to chat with him about coming over and delivering his pitch to us some day and he said he actually had some time right then if we were open. Perfect. So he stopped in and we chatted for forty-five minutes giving him our feel for what we wanted in window coverings and he showed us what he was doing in the development here and in Blaine...

At least this one has NOT included nausea so far (yes, I am knocking on wood) although I went through a time period this morning when I really thought that was on its way (and I put my cell phone on the other side of the room... so now you know. I've heard of cell phones surviving trips through the washing machine, right Anonybro? I've heard of them surviving the toilet, although I can't remember who told me that story... And I've been the proud owner of a dinosaur phone which survived the ride around the field mowing the grass on the mower deck and survived the tale and lived another couple years beyond that! But my last wimp of a phone could not survive the headache of doom. So I'll keep the replacement far away.)So yesterday mor...

And the walls always have that yellowish hue and there's usually a token air freshener in the corner pathetically battling the noxious fumes. I sympathize with smokers because it is a really tough habit to break, but maybe this paint job on the walls and ceiling would help. There's nothing like being reminded of the consequences of such a bad habit by feeling like you're buried alive every time you light up! And while you're remodeling it might be fun to replace the regular ashtrays with these that cough and scream every time they get used. That smoking area will be fun times! (Sorry smokers, it's for your own go...
