Laxdi's Profile

My girls used to call me the 'queen of spray paint'; an easy fix for things. But, we also have many freight sale stores in our area, great places to score new and slightly damaged items on the cheap. Another tip, check out apartment buildings on trash days,--diva dumpsters, anyone??? I always put out things, good condtion, next to the dumpster, that way anyone could get it if they want it, and others also do this, especially on moving days. I've seen perfectly good ten speed bikes, vacuums, lights, chairs, sleeping bags, etc. Some things you just don't want to reuse, but others can be treasure. happy hunting...Di

yeah, I kinda of thought this was for apartments, not homes. just my opinion.

when I am feeling ill, its lots of warm liquids to drink: tea and juices. Also crackers, and broths, some soups. Its never fun to roam around the house feeling sick but my little kitty is there for me too.

I used a tall iron wine holder to hold my iron flower planter; and I used an indoor etegere, spray painted both the same ivy greenish color for my small balcony. I love sitting there in the mornings with my kitty and my coffee.

I never thought about bringing waterbottle. I travel now with only a carry-on, saves time. Eat fruit before I leave, bulks me up. Carry big purse w/little purse inside, magazine, medication, I can always bum some Tylenol from someone at the airport same with newspapers, gum, battery chargers, If I buy too much, I'll send home the excess in a Post Office priority box, they're the same price no matter what weight.-its the cheapest way to send things. I'll bring magazines and leave them, so somoone else can read them.

I love my 'me' days, I try to do things out of the ordinary, like see a noon movie, I don't do any chores, go to the gym and use the pools, the therapy pool for a body relaxer, got my hair fixed in a way I normally do not, didn't watch any tv. At evening, I felt very relaxed.
