MihoH's Profile

When the boys were little, I went all out for Halloween and did a tree and lights for Christmas. Now I put out a 1' aluminum tree for Christmas and do a major blowout for Halloween at work.

This year we're doing Hawaii 5-0/Fantasy Island/Brady Bunch Hawaiian Adventure. I'm dressing up as a witch doctor and make an 8' paper mache volcano that spews candy.

Never enough. 2 teenage boys, 1 cat, 1 rabbit and 1 more rabbit on the way if Mr. Picky can choose a mate.

Maybe once a week before I do the floors. Luckily, my home is small.

My grandmother had an old traditional home on a farm in Japan. I spent my early years there as well as a few summers when I was older.

I love how the entire room becomes the sofa, where you can sit up for conversation or lie down for a nap. It absorbs sound, stays cleaner than carpet and is more welcoming than hardwood.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I had forgotten how much I love the smell of that farm.

My rabbit is really keen on this idea. He thinks this suits him much more than the Room & Board sectional I gave him.

Situational blindness.

No one can ever see what needs to be picked up/put away/wiped down/tidied, but everyone can see the fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies on the counter.

I don't care about the flushing mist, but aside from parents of small children an husbands of nagging wives, who sits there long enough to get any amount of reading finished? Why does anyone sit down before needing to go?

Laundry throughout process, kitchen, bathroom, tidy, dust, vacuum, mop, sweep patio, sweep porch/stairs, shower, make beds, put laundry away. So happy my home is small.

I suck it up and just shut the patio slider. The smoking doesn't last that long and since I smoked for 15 yrs before quitting 11 yrs ago, I accept it as penance. Though I do hate it and hope the next tenant does not smoke.

Love my espresso floors, hate the dust bunnies, tolerate swiffering.

I'm trying to decide if rope light would be cool on my staircase or if it would make my home look like a theater. I'm leaning towards theater.
