I find myself once more slipping on my posts to this journal, which I've admitted I can't let go of. I really enjoy reading my neighborhood about once a week, but I'm finding that I'm crossposting between here and my REAL personal blog quite a bit, so I'm just going to bite the bullet and say, if you really want to follow me, you will have to go over there.
TTFN!!!
Just got back from Escapade Tuesday and it is amazing what four days on the beach in the sun will do for your atittude. I love my girls' weekend in Cali every year and when I missed it last year, I could really FEEL it. Nothing like talking smack about guys, computers, writing and slashy goodness. Also, got to visit my friend Dail who gave me Vala way back in 2000. She still has two harlequins and they're both so much smaller than mine. I'm wondering why the big difference. It can't simply be the food difference.
I did a bit of on-line shopping before I left and most of it was waiting for me at home when I returned. The results of my Retail Therapy (I got the jacket in shades of brown):
I also got a stone colored linen long skirt but I can't find a picture of it now to save my neck.
Anway, new clothes!! :)
A furnished rental apartment and B&B? I think that's what we have.
We're putting the finishing touches on the basement apartment, writing up the ad to post on Craigslist for a regular apartment for rent. Then we started thinking...and planning...and well, that never ends well. Because I really really really want to do this other project, that requires we have the basement space at least a few times a year, we're going to just make the apartment a temp/short-term rental. BUT, it will be fully furnished, complete with linens, kitchen accoutrements, TV, stereo...you name it.
There actually seems to be a pretty good market for such accomodations in the Denver area, so this just might work out (unlike many of our other hair-brained schemes). Traveling nurses, law students, people moving away from Denver but their homes are already sold, and so on. I'm actually in communication with a couple who work up in Antarctica and they're looking for a place to summer in Denver! How cool would that be?
So, I put that ad in Craigslist today because I know if I don't have it posted to the universe that this place will be available April 1, we'll still be needing to hang doors and lay carpet come that date. You take your motivation where you can get it, right?
My life, it is so interesting.
