RETIRED

I have been officially retired as of July 1st 2008 ! Some days, even though I worked for 30 years at Ford, I feel like I never worked. I love it. I am more rested and less stressed. I am taking it pretty easy right now but am putting together a plan to mega clean my entire house! I am not sure where to start though. If it's the kitchen it will take FOREVER cause I want to empty every drawer/cabinet - go through all my pantries (I have a HUGE walk-in pantry) and throw out expired stuff that got shoved to the back.................I plan to just do one or two cabinets depending on how big they are, per day - it may take a few days just to do the pantry!!! Eventually I need to replace carpeting, paint rooms, get new drapes/window treatments, etc..... It is just so overwhelming right now that I don't know where to start! My bedroom might be a good choice - I have so many clothes they don't even fit in the closet/dresser any more. I esimated if I start with my bedroom, I can only do about 2 hours a day before I go nuts....... so it may day 2 to 4 weeks just to get through it all!!! Yikes!

So far, the only plans I have is to visit Lisa in Colorado August 28-September 1st. Linda and Susan are flying out there with me and we should have a really nice visit with Lisa and her puppy, Logan (Logan's photo is on this blog for your viewing pleasure) ......... I can't wait, even though I HATE flying!!!!! Oh well..........gotta do what ya gotta do!

Enjoy your summer and I hope to be writing again soon . . . . .
