back on track
being at home serves it's time well when managed properly. we had no luck finding our shower doors ... a wasted trip. but because of my resourceful mind, i thought to call on the folks that did our renovation 4 years ago. sure enough miss melanie at lampert took the call and was able to find us the doors, with delivery and installation. check #1.
next, the backyard. i didn't want a little cold breeze and snow get in the way of my new leisure space so i called on delta decks. i meet with alex on saturday to go over the design of the new deck. i have a feeling that i will be spending much of the spring and summer in my yard. check #2.
next on the list, registering for a class at george brown. yes, i am going to be putting some time into getting my head around digital arts and publishing. i am more than half of the day in front of a computer, i am creative and i love the vast possibilities of what digital arts can produce. so, i think i found what it is that i want to do when i grow up. i don't know where it will take me, but i do know that i need to hone in on some skills and entrepreneurial school is out now that there is no more government funding for the SEB program anymore. *tears* so, i'll be a huge opportunist and go through a discounted rate at the college. and i'll go at my pace .... i am not an academic ... this i know. at least i am smart enough to know my limits. check #3, #4 and #5.
check #6, my financial affairs are in order. i am filing for my 2009 taxes and am getting a return - YAY! i have also set up a tax free savings account and my credit is up to date and paid!
feeling good. check #7.
everything just got a whole lot warmer. i feel good. this is good.
the start of my five year plan is thickening, there seems to be some depth - these are the holes that needed to be filled.

holding my horses
the snow is back ... it's falling hard, reminding us that it never came.
so yesterday's blog puts a damper on things. as the snow was melting, i was picturing my poolside manner in the backyard, of course sans pool and all sun! ahhh, this is ontario. i can bundle up for a few more weeks. no need to complain.
tonight we're going to begin the fix-up from the "party". the glue on the shower didn't hold, damn. the new shower doors are 600$ ... that's a few pair of shoes, a new bag .. ahhh, won't complain about that either.
i was on the coat tails of dismissing all things social today. i'm so glad i have a theme song that i can go back to and know that i can go where everyone knows my name.

springing forward
this year, one of my goals is to revamp the back yard. this means bringing the indoors outdoors. i want a place that will invite me stay when the sun has gone down and i am just getting up. i want twinkle lights, floor pillows, flowers, lounges ... hmmm, i think i'll be lucky if i get a new fence and the twinkle lights. somewhere to go for inspiration?

coming of age
our home seems to be in better shape. today is actually the first day that no one spoke of the party on the weekend. yesterday, my neighbour emailed me with an acceptance of my apologies and she was not happy. my teenage self says, "whatevs" but i say, "sorry" ... again.
my hands as of late have not been idle and i think i may be suffering from insomnia.
i can't wait for next weekend ... my adult self is spending some much needed time with the ladies ... in teenage style; a sleep over.
