I needed a new hobby:
Anyone who knows me knows I need another hobby like I need a hole in my head. If I had a hole for every extra hobby I have I'd look like the local tattoo artist- if you know what I mean. If you don't take a trip to the local tattoo parlor and see who's running the paint gun. They are probably tattooed like a comic book - sorry graphic novel- and pierced in places that I can't imagine using while weighted with jewelry. So back to my new hobby. I am jumping on the band wagon of the online poker geeks. Yes I have my very own account at Partypoker.net. I have a cute anonymous screen name and soon after I lose my fear of online interaction (other than chat rooms) I will join the masses of online gamblers.

The house is not done yet. But we did have some progress. I figure if the upstairs bath gets done and the downstairs gets trimmed and the pump guy finishes the well improvements we can call the county for inspection. My goal is to finish and get in the house before the guy down the street finishes his house. He started grading in March ... of this year.

I should throw in a recipe here... OK take half a cup of balsamic vinegar, a cup of brown sugar and reduce it to a quarter cup of liquid over a medium heat. The result is a dessert syrup great over fruit from strawberries to peaches.

My success this week is stringing out my wardrobe to not have to do laundry for another week. Monday may be the breaking point. I can't wait to use my washer and dryer in the comfort of my own home when ever I want to. There will NEVER be a need to. Heck I'll go roll around in the garden to get stuff dirty to wash it in my laundry set. That's why the laundry room is next to the easy clean bathroom. It's dump your dirties in the washer take a shower and relax. We really did think that one out.
