As you all know Tiara is very rough on everything, especially furniture and screens. At this exact moment I have three windows without screens, compliments of Tiara attempting to escape out of them and I have 3 broken chairs. Not to mention the drinking glasses, plates, picture frames, vases, end tables, televisions, dvr players and…

Do you decorate spooky or sweet?
Do you decorate scary for Halloween or make a cute fall display with hay, smiling jack-o-lanterns and gourds? I use to do the latter but a few years ago I got tired of the “perfect” Martha Stewart fall look with the stacked Cinderella pumpkins, and so I switched to scary decorations. The switch didn’t cost…
Do you know where my phone is?
This morning Lou asked me to keep my eyes open for his phone while he was getting ready for work. me: “Have you seen it today?” lou: “No.” This means it is probably lying under the couch or the coffee table. It is pretty common for him to fall asleep on the couch and then…
I think I am cursed!
Last night as we were eating dinner on the patio we suddenly heard something smash and glass shatter. Since Tiara was sitting at the table with all of us we were all baffled as to what could have happened. I stood up and looked inside. It was then that I noticed my absolutely favorite picture…
Same old same old, except this!
So what did you do this weekend? Hmmmm, Well let’s see…. Friday Lou had the day off and I retouched all the walls and ceilings while he took Trinity and Tiara to the beach. I finally took a shower at 5pm just in time for our Friday night Yard House happy hour with TT. Saturday…
They pulled out of escrow…
Tuesday night I was sitting on the couch watching TV, drinking my wine when I received a text from Patrick, our real estate agent at 10:00 p.m. saying “If you’re awake call me.” I instantly knew it was bad news and called him within seconds. We had been waiting on a certain issue which I…
It’s official, I have gone insane!
I am writing this on Thursday night after several glasses of wine. I was going to skip my post again, but I am about to murder my entire family so instead of appearing on the front page of the paper tomorrow I decided I better write a post and get my therapy. Today I woke…
Does your bed have a frame?
I am sure almost 100% of my readers sleep on a bed which has a frame, but Lou, Tiara and I don’t. The reason why? About 4 years ago Tiara was having tons of tonic clonic and drop seizures. She woke up many mornings on the floor and after her teeth kept chipping off we…
Feeling panicky
SATURDAY 6:30am It is Saturday morning and I just woke up. I have a list a mile long of potential “to -do” items that would make my house even cleaner before it hits the MLS on Monday. My whole body aches, especially my hands and feet. I am exhausted and stressed and keep wondering if…
My home improvement plans for the weekend
Today I finally decided to tear out the bush/tree that I stare at everyday and HATE with a passion. I knew it would be hard to get out and have been putting it off but after my walk today, Tiara was still sleeping so I went to work. I first tried to dig it out…
