Five more days left of 06, I haven't accomplished much this past year. Just work, Work and more work. I am going to try and be a better person this year, try and make my job a little more interesting, listen better, call my grandkids more and visit with my sister and brothers more. My three older grandsons I don't see very much, they are busy with school and work, familes and stuff. Get my stuff ready for Nashville in June, I am so excited this year. Last year I almost didn't go, I got a sore foot, but I am so glad I went. Going with my oldest daughter, her boys are all grown up, two are still at home, but they can take care of themselves. My youngest, don't think she likes country music enough to want to go. Maybe in a couple of years I will take my granddaughter with me if we go back in o8 or 09. There is something to see everywhere, country music all day and most of the night, if you like clubs. I am not much on clubs, don't like the smoke and don't drink, they just smell to me. I am sure glad Arkansas has the clean air act. Its makes going out to dinne a lot nicer. Sorry for all the smokers out there but that is the way I feel. Lung cancer killed my mom, I watched her wither away from that stuff, she said, smoked since she was 14 years old. Back then it was the in thing to do. I am surprised that I never took up the habit, both parents were heavy smokers.
We got most of the furniture moved out yesterday, husband slept on the sofa in the living room, granddaughter slept in the bed we left. The new flooring will be started tomorrow, I am excited about getting it. Maybe this will help me get rid of some stuff. I use to give my mom a hard time about saving things, I am just as bad. She said, " guess it was because she grew up in the depression era, back then you didn't throw things away, they might be useful later so you saved it". I am not sure what my excuse is. Granddaughter was helping move things into boxes and found some of my old record albums and asked what are these. I forot I even had them, I am not going to get rid of them, I will keep them a little bit longer. I am going to dust the base boards and wipe the walls, If I had more time, I would paint, did get the living room painted, not finished but I will get to it. Husband said, You won't ever finish, because you never finish anything, just because I started wall papering the hall and stopped does't mean I never finish anything. I think I am going to take the paper down and paint it too. He can just kiss my rear.
Better go and dust those base boards I was talking about.
