Still moving

Have I mentioned moving sucks? I am buried, overwhelmed, and trying to stay focused. I am trying to pare down, get everything ready, beg friends for help packing and organizing. I am also getting every 24 year old I can find to do the heavy lifting.

I have a LOT! Here is an example: we just took a van load of books to donate, a van load went with my help to Illinois, and a van load went to storage temporarily. I still have two more six foot tall bookcases with books. I sure hope there are no more boxes of them somewhere else in this house!

I thought I had taken my music out of here but wrong again there is more both in my office and basement entertainment center. Yikes!

Any tips on moving appreciated. Any suggestions?

"Childhood friends Mike and Doug began the blog in May 2009 after Mike saw an awkward vacation photo hung in his parents’ house. Realizing there were probably plenty of other people out there with their own awkward family images, the two friends decided to create a friendly place where everyone could come together and share their uncomfortable family moments. . ."

Fun on the Web Sept 12 2013 Dina Goldstein

Happy Birthday to my sister!

Dina Goldstein is a prominent artist who has exhibited from Canada to Poland, Italy and the US. She started winng awards in 1999 and continued on with her most recent in 2013, an International Color Award.

"Anyone who has seen Dina Goldstein's unusual photographs knows that she not only deflowers fairy tales with her tantalizing images, but she also "de-disneyfies" them. Goldstein came to Canada from Israel when she was eight-years-old and had very little experience with the world of Disney films, books, artifacts, and advertisements. It was not until she was much older, when her three-year-old daughter was exposed to the Disney princesses, and when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer that she began to reflect about the impact of the Disneyfied fairy tales. . ."

Fun on the Web Sept 8 2013 Jack O Lanterns

I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS YEARS AGO

With Halloween coming up, share this to your friends and remember to do this!

After you scoop out and carve your pumpkin, dip it in a large container of bleach and water (use a 1 tsp:1 gal mix). The bleach will kill bacteria and help your pumpkin stay fresh longer.

Once completely dry, (drain upside down), add 2 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to a quart of water. Brush this solution onto your pumpkin to keep it looking fresh for weeks.

Fun on the Web Sept 1 2013 SEPTEMBER?

Were did the summer go? We have been having a heat wave so fall is welcome but time just zoomed this summer. Didn't make http://summerfest.com/ or State Fair http://www.wistatefair.com/ but going to try to make at least one music festival yet this summer.

I did however have visitors from both coasts alternating each month. There have been days off with a flexible work schedule to let me visit with friends and family. I'm still working full time and have been doing flea markets with a friend to lighten the load I have accumulated around here.

Now I am at a crossroad: moving, changing jobs, who knows what will happen? I am searching for answers to my search for new adventures.
