What's Up.....................

Yesterday was Emily's birthday. She turned 12 yrs old! My how life spins by. It is hard to believe that she is getting so old. Life goes by way too fast! This year her birthday marked a special event for her. Several years ago a state law was passed that children had to ride in the back seat of cars until they turned 12 because of airbags in cars. So yesterday, I drove her to school (which was in itself a special deal) and she rode in the front seat. She loved it! It is nice that sometimes the simple things in life makes someone happy. I also had flowers sent to her at school. She said that when they called her to the office she was scared---now why would that be---guilty of something! haha! This is her weekend to be with Dad, so last night I drove her to Augusta---hope he does something special for her this weekend!

On another note---I went on another speed dating event Thursday night. I have done this twice now in a year and it hasn't really produced much. I had a good time. The whole concept is pretty intriguing. You get to meet around 12 people and if anything, you can meet some interesting people. I met someone that has raced in America Cups several times over his life time. I have meet some losers (at least in my opinion), but on the whole, nice people. At this point I am waiting for my 'matches' to see who was interested. Time will tell---and just so that no one worries about me---I am only looking for adventure and nothing else! As my name says---I am HAPPY KK just the way I am! LOL
Well, until next time.......................me

Friday Night and it is snowing again...............

It is Friday night and it has snowed all day long. Emily had her second snow day from school this year which is really good. The school figures in 5 snow days a school year. If we don't use all the snow days, the kids will get out a few days early in June. Kenny is getting married to Laurie in July and I haven't decided what I want to do for vacation. Last year I took the girls and Link on a kind of whirl wind vaca and we had a blast!!!

I am going to re-do my main floor bathroom this month. Since I have bought my house from the divorce, I have done maintenance work on something each year. The first fall Kenny, Scott, Link and I (who basically just bought the material and then supervised), put a metal roof on. That has taken care of the leaks (except for my skylight!!!). I also put base board heat in my house so that I do not have to have this huge blower in my dining room! Last year I bought all the materials to re-do my basement apartment. I now have that paid off so, now I can start on my living area.
So, I went to Lowe's last weekend and have pretty much decided what I want to do in the bathroom. Mom will be very impressed with my color choices. I think that I shall have a green tile floor with some shade of green walls. I want to buy a really nice pedestal sink and new toilet. Link will help me with those 2 items. I am looking forward to my first tile job. I think that it will be pretty easy. I think this project will take about 2 weekends. I am very excited to being able to start working on my house. My poor house has been neglected long enough. Unfortunately my money resources are low, so whatever work I do I have to put on credit. So my plan is to charge a project and pay it off, then start the next project....this will take time and I am starting with the smaller jobs.
Well, that is it for tonight...........
Until later....................kk
