The little Annie that could

Today was an incredibly productive day and yesterday I was no slouch either. This place, minus the kitchen and my bedroom, look far better than they have in a very long time. My bedroom is my next project and it will be big. You see, my bedroom is like the parking lot for crap in [...]

Bitter is the new black

I don’t know if I’d exactly use the word bitter to describe my mood of late but it’s not far off sometimes. Today the emotion of the day was depressed but I also ran through a little anger here and there. Take for example something I wrote to a friend earlier today:

Well, that settles that

Yesterday was a beautiful day as far the weather was concerned so I decided to putz around in the front yard weeding and watering my flowers after we picked Iz up from my mom’s. As I was watering I noticed our neighbor across the street and decided to be friendly and see how things were [...]

Builder Meeting

After much dawdling, I contacted the builder so we could get together and move forward some more with the house plans. He came by yesterday. We were supposed to close on the lot on the 25th but I knew there was no way we would make the date. It’s not a big deal because he [...]

He’s moving out!

I wasn’t sure I’d ever see the day but on Sunday he will be signing the lease to his new apartment and he will no longer be living with mom. He and his now fiance will cohabitate in a place they are totally responsible for financially. I wish him well. He just turned 33 and [...]

More planning

Monday we have an appointment with the builder to discuss moving on with design. This means we’ll be getting into the nitty gritty of things to submit to the city both to close on the property and to get our building permit. After that it’s on to putting my mom’s home up for sale. The [...]
