How do I miss things like this?!?! Oh, I was on vacation when you posted you were moving and I missed it all. Hmph.

Congrats on the move and I am glad it sounds like you are settling in.

Re: On Stuff

remodelingthislife — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 07:51:56 -0000

My feelings about stuff are that I like having stuff I love. I hate having stuff I don't. I am constantly rotating and decluttering to get things how I want them. My tastes change and I like my home and what is around me to reflect me today. I don't have places to store things so it's either out for all to see or gone in the donation box. I don't think there is anything wrong with having things you can afford and you love. I do think sometimes we can accumulate so much stuff, that it's hard to see that there is useless stuff in with the things we love. So, there is nothing like taking a black trash bag through the house and paring down, making space for more to do. Everyone in my home does better with less stuff around. The kids can see their rooms and toys when we've gone through everything and they enjoy both the space and things. Same with me. I can't relax in a cluttered space with too much stuff.

The course sounds like one I'd enjoy too. We are trying to work on our outdoor space and while we don't have a blank slate (lots of trees and we've planted stuff too) I still feel like there is so much more we could do with what we have.

Thanks for the link ;)

Re: I’m on a yard sale high

remodelingthislife — Sat, 15 May 2010 17:39:28 -0000

Nice grabs!! I LOVE when I find 7 for all Mankind or Citizens of Humanity at yard sales for $1 (and it's happened more than once). I always wonder if people know what consignment shops are when they sell them for $1 at a yard sale!

I want those boots.

I am envious!!!

Re: The real housewife

Your cleaning sounds like my cleaning. Throw in a little furniture rearranging and that's me. Forget the dusting and mopping. I tidy and rearrange. Make everyone so confused they don't notice how dirty it is.

I agree. If you don't clean toilets, you aren't a real housewife :)

I don't use live writer, I just use the wp-editor. You reminded me of how far I am behind on adding to my 365 project site. Adding that to today's list.

Gorgeous photos. Thanks for stopping by. I totally remember sitting with you. One of my best friends has a daughter named Maren and I remember texting her that day to tell her I met a Maren! :)

You are so tiny, I don't know what you are talking about. You're silly.

Re: Lenses

remodelingthislife — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:34:25 -0000

Until last week, I only used the kit lens. I just got the 35mm 1.8 and love it. Next on my list are the 50 mm 1.4 (the only option for my camera in the 50mm - the cheaper version doesn't autofocus on mine) and then the 105mm.

Re: leaving the northeast, a retrospective

remodelingthislife — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:36:26 -0000

funny you say that - maine is at the top of my list of places to move one day. i had to remind hubby that my not yet being 31, it might be a bit early to become snowbirds though :)

re: other comments. homeowners insurance has not bitten us in the butt yet, and is FAR cheaper still than it was when we were in NY. i do believe i drive more now than when we lived in NY but that is 100% due to have two children that i choose to drive to school each day.

I like the new header. I guess I don't know how new it is. And the photo for this post is hilarious.

There are pros and cons to both places, the NE and here. I sure do miss the NE this time of year, and there are parts of me that long to go back for good, but not to NY.

the bugs, snakes, and 93 degree autumn days top my list of reasons to leave florida someday :)

You're right though, this area has much to offer and I'm glad you're settling in.

I chuckle with each of your posts about how similar what you are doing now is what my family did 4 years ago. It's like with each passing moment, the Southern Accent (a slow way of working, but everything gets done) seeps through.

Good luck with the offer! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it here!

I don't think I comment enough here, mostly because almost every time you write something I don't feel like there is anything I could possibly add. I enjoy everything you write and your perspective is refreshing in this community. This is no exception and the post from last year made me cry. My point is, Thanks, Steve. Well said.

remodelingthislife — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 12:47:51 -0000

Great post, Steve. I think you're quite accurate about how a person eats being an extension of what they believe in. You can say all you want about who you are, but maybe it's what you eat that really speaks volumes.

Re: no eat, no need money

remodelingthislife — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:26:26 -0000

That is sweet!!!

I still remember a day several months ago that my then 3 year old asked why her daddy was at work. Then answered her own question with "Is it so we don't have to live in a box and eat sand?"

Well, yeah...kinda
