Testing 1, 2

So it seems that I need to download Chrome....It works with Vista

and since I don't have money lying around , right now, I decide to give it a go. I believe I will be able to tweek it so I don't get all those pesky Russian/ Asian voluptuous brides for hire...

Fingers crossed!!!


                                         Success! I was able to upload a picture!

                                         Now I will have to be XTRA vigilent to keep the junk and crap away!!!

                                        Thank you for the moral support . Sleep tight!

Totally Innocent

So I found out that Bandito is totally innocent....

Thr problem is...and it pains me to say so but Google doesn't support the version of Internet Explorer I have been using and my Windows Vista computer isn't compatible with ...well .....

ANYTHING! I could install Chrome....and I did. I had it for a couple of months and I was plagued with invitations to meet Russian girls and pictures of nubile Asian girls.

So I went back to Explorer....until I couldn't post pictures in my blog....

I tried Firefox and had the same crap results....

I am disappointed and sad that my 5 year old laptop will probably have to go.....

In the meantime I will try to blog during my coffee breaks!

'til then....Be well my thrifty friends!

I had just good intentions!

I swear! I wanted to post about something interesting....

And yet I can't add any pictures to my post....something about a resumable folder and not recognizing the programm...

This might be Bandito's doing....he loves to hang out on the open laptop on cold evenings...And he opens files, web sites and I suspect he is trying to buy some kitty treats on Ebay...One day it took me 30 minutes to close the laptop because he had opened 67 browsers and of course the computer was all mixed up!

Oh well! I need to figure out how to fix this!

Sleep tight my friends!

Still TCB

Choosing 2015's word was a no brainer. TCB (taking care of business) worked so well in 2014, that I decided to choose it AGAIN.

So as our first TCB actions of 2015 today : we will install our vision board, clean the pots and pans cupboard....You know what I mean...Yes you do!

The recipe is simple: 1 part keep, 1 part store, 1 part donate. Easy peasy!

And finish caulking around the kitchen sink.

The organizing experts have got it wrong...Even when you are reading to give some stuff up, doesn't mean you can do it all in 1 hour!

On December 26th we cleaned out the first shelf of the pots and pan cupboard but after I had a headache and was exhausted, so I asked Dan if we could finish this another time.

2015 will be a year of change and of many trips to the thrift to donate! I might even pick up some new treasure along the way!

 If you remember, I will put my Etsy store on hiatus on January 13 th. I already have gone through my inventory with what I will kept for myself, what to offer to my stepdaughter and what to donate.

We also have decided to put our house on the market; I.E all the purging nd organizing. We can't stand the commute anymore and let's face it our little town has been invaded by loads of stressed out citydwellers leaching their stress all over, driving like a-holes etc...

So if all goes according to plans, we should have Xmas 2015 in the city. Everything is still up in the air, but I have faith that all will be for the best and all parties involved will be hunkydory.

 I end this post with pictures of our trip to Maine in February 2011. They had a big ass
snowstorm and for us it has been one of the most memorable road trip to date. We hope to go back soon and bring Dad.
 Dad loves Maine and the ocean and would love seeing them in winter too.
 The first 3 pictures are of York Beach Maine. The first of is of the Goldenrod , makers of the best
salt water kisses EVER!

 Last 2 pictures are from the beach in OOB.

   of course we had to stop there. This place is so dear to our hearts.

So that's it for today. I will finish with capuccino (yum) and attck the caulk!

Be well!!!
