going to the santa clause parade 6 days ago

and then to watch the lighting of the tree and pizza and wine afterwards. It should be nice. Somebody is trying to set me up with a friend of a friend. He is young and used to dating strippers. Why the hell would she think he would be interested in going out with a 45 year old mother of three who needs to lose at least 30 pounds?

working on cleaning my house. 6 days ago

One thing at a time. Linen closet is clean. Throwing stuff away this weekend. Going through my closet and piles of papers and maybe even all of my bookcases and the electronics area of the living room. I will hopefully shampoo the carpet next week. It is amazing how much work there is in just trying to get rid of junk you don’t need and getting your house clean and organized. All in good time.
