welcome future tina

Oh, what? I’m not really 94 years old? Why is it that I want to purchase this little beauty then?

I want to put it under my desk at work. But, it didn’t help that the product reviews were filled with stories about how people bought this for their mothers and grandmothers who have had knee replacement surgery and can’t really go out and walk around. Oh well, hopefully I won’t start yelling and waving my cane at little kids to get off my lawn tonight! Happy Halloween!

anger management pumpkin

I’ve never carved a pumpkin. I feel like I have missed out on a very American childhood tradition. Last year, David and I got a pumpkin carving kit but we never got around to actually purchasing or carving a pumpkin, because you know, we had much more important things to do, like watch TV. Maybe one day. In the meantime, I’ll just daydream about taking out all of my aggressions on a poor blobby human-head-shaped vegetable.

painting as exercise

What a productive weekend! I painted all of the wood baseboards, trim, and the banister a high gloss white, in the living and dining room. My body also feels like I did squats for eight hours, which is pretty accurate. David was in charge of organizing books, movies, and the second bedroom. That second bedroom/office is now put together and usable! I no longer have anxiety attacks as I walk by it, no more giant indistinguishable pile o’ crap! So, good news all around.
