Overworked Overstressed Thursdays

I can't make it to SnB today, so I thought I would do some virtual knitting, and did this mini quiz on Rhonda's site . Incidentally, her aura is indeed yellow. She's a lovely cheerful person. Check it out...

I doubt that many people would describe me as spiritual or calm, but the facts don't lie people. YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT???!! And clearly I'm more at one with my serenity lately than The Striped One.

Your Aura is Blue

Spiritual and calm, you tend to live a quiet but enriching life.
You are very giving of yourself. And it's hard for you to let go of relationships.

The purpose of your life: showing love to other people

Famous blues include: Angelina Jolie, the Dali Lama, Oprah

Flat out

Hi folks, sorry for the long break in between blog entries, but I've been flat out. DH and I are trying to get the housing side of our life organized, and it is pretty tiring!

I hope to be back blogging again soon!

Hot Damn

DH and I are in the midst of a housing transition (which may explain why my posting seem to be getting a little later and later). I won't go into detail, but just to say that in a few months we might finally be ready to buy a new place of our own.

I've been looking at houses/condos online, and saw a nice house, but it has an inground swimming pool. I'm crazy about swimming and water, but not crazy about the upkeep or environmental impact of a chlorine pool.

Sooo... I started poking around online at what it would cost to excavate/fill in a pool, and stumbled across this. Babbo-bee & Mama-bee made a fish-pond in their backyard (hey remember, Dad, I helped dig the hole!). Wonder if I could recreuit them to help with a project on this scale. Heh!

I loved the "vegi-filter" this guy made. How crazy is that! Imagine if I had this house, and that garden. Sweet.
