My normal Sunday ritual is being interrupted today . . . waking up early, sitting in the quiet drinking a hot cop of coffee, gearing myself up to go for a workout. . .
Instead I am re-cleaning my house, checking every nook and cranny to be sure there are no dust bunnies anywhere . . . driving myself crazy that everything is perfect! The reason, today someone is coming to look at my house to see if he is interested in buying it before I put it on the market. There are so many reasons why I want to sell “by owner” versus with a realtor . . . so that’s why I want things to be perfect . . . and that’s why I’m driving myself crazy . . . and that’s why I have to stop blogging so I can triple check that all is perfect . . .Wish me luck!
Pretty toes . . . not for a while
But today that changes I can say with a smile!
So looking forward to the warm soak in bubbles
And for that hour . . . forgetting about any troubles
Taking time for pampering, no matter what that includes
Is just the ticket for altering and adjusting attitudes!
The last couple of years during the March Challenge, I remember so many creative slices that embraced the coming of spring. What a difference a year makes . . .
I’m yearning for the robins’ song declaring they are back
The seasonal smells that ensure our seasons are on track
Early changes in the landscape from brown to a lush green
Instead the blanket of white is still all that’s seen
Hopefully one day we look back on this with a smile
A far away memory that’s not happened again in a very long while
This can’t last forever . . . at least that’s what we hear
But only Mother Nature can make this all disappear!
The public library for my school community was hosting a contest. The contest was opened for students to show why they love the library. I introduced the idea to my Tech Club students to see if they might be interested. They loved the idea, especially when I told them any type of media presentation would be excepted. The quickly partnered up and got busy. A few wanted to make an iMovie and the others a Podcast. I really took a backseat after explaining the rules because after all, it was a contest! It was heartwarming seeing them jump in and work cooperatively and respectfully with each other. Listening to each other’s ideas and trying to make the person’s idea fit. The best part was the feedback I received from the librarian after sending them . . . even better was the smiles on their faces when I shared them with my students. The one they liked best was that they may want to present their creations to the Library Board! Win or lose the students had fun and were able to use their creativity!
Good news, bad news for Bath and Body antibacterial soap lovers. I was addicted to the soap buying 6-8 bottles at a time when they were on sale. Every sink in my house had one of the lovely fragrances. This was until I heard the report about it’s main ingredient Triclosan. It seems that there may be a link to cancer with the use of this ingredient. I did some research and while reports are conflicted I have chosen to give up using the soap. The good news is that Bath and Body will give you credit if you choose to return the soap, even bottles that were partially used! They now make a new formula of hand soap without this ingredient as well as lovely new fragrances. So of course I am stocked full and every sink has a new bottle and smell!
