Here it is, the New Year… or maybe it’s May!! It’s really warm out. I’m looking at TV and the current temperature is 57.. WOW! Rain today and quite mild.
Some how or other, New Years makes one (at least me) start to CLEAN!! I’ve been cleaning out things, putting things away and going through magazines. And, I was reading my Martha Stewart magazine… that woman has to get a LIFE!!! In the December issue, the magazine shows you how to make all these incredible things – homemade gifts, wrapping gifts with bows and so on. I’m retired, and I don’t have the time to do this! So I’m thinking, GET A GRIP, GIRL, this is ridiculous.
I find it interesting that many magazines tend to imply that if we don’t meet their standard we are failures… well that’s a lot of BULL… I am not Ms. Clean!!! But, my house is much better now that I’m retired. Why???? Well, I HAVE THE TIME. And so, that doesn’t mean I’m a better person, it just means that I have more time. I guess it upsets me that magazines and “expectations” say that our homes should be perfect. Mine isn’t and I just want to be sure that you all know it!!!
Global warming aside, it is really warm here. Makes me thing Joanne could have played golf here.. and Sheila, it really is warm here, too.
Well, it was a nice day… cleaning got done, we went to breakfast and we have no pressing things to do tomorrow!!! Makes us grateful!!
