You are in My World Now

I want to do something different this weekend. I’ve been so bored lately!

One thing I was thinking about was that I haven’t been to a flea market in ages. Now, I don’t think that I’ve ever really been to one in the winter time, but I know that there are some indoor ones in this area that I could check out.

I love looking at antique furniture like a roll top desk or a beautiful chair, or delicate china or what I consider odd or outdated kitchen tools and appliances.

I’ve been known to buy beat up pieces of furniture only to refinish them and turn them into beautiful looking pieces. Perhaps if I were to go to a flea market this weekend I could find a “project” to keep me busy for a while.

Do you like going to flea markets and or buying old furniture to refinish it?

Wow, it’s hard to believe that January is almost over isn’t it? This month seems to have gone by so quickly or so it seems. At the beginning of this month I never would have thought that it would have felt like this month would have flown by like this as I was (and still am) extremely stressed but I’ve kept myself busy and the month is almost over.

Before we know it, it will be Valentines day .. and it’s a Leap year this year too!

Speaking of Valentines .. one of my nieces called me this weekend and she was talking to me about how she was searching for the perfect valentines day gifts for bf Dan.I don’t know him very well so I could only offer a few suggestions. I did point her towards a few good online sites that might give her some ideas too.

Are you looking forward to Valentines? Do you buy gifts?

I would love nothing more than to get away for a while. I’ve been under quite a bit of stress in the last few months and I think I need to just take a few weeks to myself if I can.

Lucky for me I’ve had a few invites from people for places to stay for a while if I want to get away. Two of my brothers have offered their homes up to me and a friend in Florida just offered to let me stay with her for a while too.

I have to say the Florida getaway sounds like it would be the most fun. Especially since my friend and I talked about looking into staying at one of the Disney World hotels for a few days as well during my visit. Of course that getaway would be the most expensive for me and the situation I’m in doesn’t leave me with much money it seems – so staying with one of my brothers if I need to get away is probably what I’ll end up doing.
