Wow!

Just logged on and had some time to view the pictures in great detail.  What a difference in the before and the after. It must really be a shock to you watching it up close and in person. And all the little extra things that need to be addressed - hope you can work through these issues quickly.  Could you book into the Casino Hotel and then have an evening of no worries while the paint dries? Just a thought...
Have you heard of Scentsy products? Harry brought home from the dump four new unopened packages of the Scentsy product - little squares of scented waxy stuff (8 to a package) that you heat in specially purchased containers called Warmers ( like candle holder but use a small electric bulb) to melt the square and allow the aroma to drift into the room.  I immediately remembered that a lady had a booth set up at the Farmers Market here in Sundridge every Friday.  I went to see what she sold and how much $ , but was really just looking. The warmers started at around 35.00 and went as high as close to 78.00 depending on style/size and designs. Some are even more expensive.  When I was at Mike's he looked it up on the net and we got a bit more info. Actually one of Erin's friends tried to get her to sign up as a dealer but Erin realized it was just like other pyramid companies (like Avon, or Pampered Chef etc) and she wasn't likely to buy into it or try to flog it.  So Mike gave me a few of his little burner candles ( those little round white disks things) and I found a little burner at home and tried it. The square melted and the aroma dispersed. Today at the Thrift Store I bought two little burners perfectly suited for this process (each 1.00) . So now I can melt the squares I have, to create a pleasant smell, but I don't really like these certain aromas. They include one called pumpkin marshmallow. On Friday I intend to go to the Market again and maybe buy another box of a more pleasing smell such as Vanilla. They cost 6.00 a package but the lady told me she sells them at the booth for 5.00.
At the Thrift Store as well, I found a Dr Phil book that I was immediately attracted to by the title. Since it was hard cover and only 3.00 I bought it.  It caught my eye because I thought it was a copy of the 20/20 Diet that we have all read (Did you get one at the Library Cathy?) But it only looked like it - the title of this is Self Matters - Creating Your Life from the Inside Out.  I got so much from reading the 20/20 Diet book - suggestions and ideas I thought helpful not directly related to a change in diet but a change in thinking about yourself.  So I am so anxious to start into this book.
Even if some ideas are not really relevant or even possible. I look forward to at least having a good read and boosting my spirits along with it. Food for thought, right?
Well, in meantime, I must get to bed, and continue reading Stuart Woods novel with Stone Barrington - as Pati says "fluff" - but we all need a bit of good, clean "fluff" don't we?   Take care
