One word: TAXES
Yeah, that's what I'll be working on today...gathering up receipts, organizing numbers, etc...the best part is, I don't have to DO the taxes, I take them to a great CPA I've been using since 1990...so after I eat my Cheerios with strawberries, I'm going into hiding and dwelling in the land of paper and numbers...horror...
It was a weekend full of home improvement projects...we could be the poster children for Lowe's...First, we installed a new ceiling fan upstairs that's all acrylic and metal...very modern...and it works great! Next, we tried to tackle the new light for our landing, but the electric box won't support the weight of this (its a big big light!), so we moved onto the front hallway light instead...
its a smaller version of the big one, and it went together pretty easily..the instructions are really weak, but between the two college graduates of engineering, we managed to get it hung and it works...it reminds me of those old ice cream parlors, the glass is a warm yellow w/ etched designs in it...very groovy indeed...
So today has been catchup around the house...cleaning up what didn't get addressed over the weekend...I took inventory of the yard, it looks like the purple morning glory took the hardest hit, I'm not sure it'll survive...and the three instar caterpillars all seem to be 'not moving' so I'm not sure about them, but I relocated them from the grapefruit to the lime tree...we'll see...everything else looks like it survived the 30 degree sleet pretty well...I uploaded seed for the birds, dumped the compost of old grapes and apples and secured the young growth of our tree to a sturdy pole so the branches won't break...now if I can only get the dog to stop barking at nothing...

Taxes are the reason I can't buy any of your wonderful beads at the moment!...sigh...
