Well, took some of the dogs for a short run today...and had to use the quad. I miss my sled! I miss the snow! I miss going to races on weekends! O.K. enough complaining...seasons change, blah blah blah....it is just so hard when winter starts to give way to spring for me. LAST time I'll whine about it (this year, anyway)
Ted wants to go to the Home and Garden show in GR this weekend, so that may get him motivated for some spring/summer projects around here. IF nothing else, it would be so nice to clean and organize the garage and shop. Hate trying to work out there with everything you need to walk around, or step over to get to the saws, planer and other tools. Clutter makes me feel anxious...and makes for an unpleasant work environment. I don't care if takes a month, that is my main goal for this summer! Plus, when people come over to pick up a sled, or buy a harness, it would be nice NOT to be ashamed of how messy the garage and shop look!
Then, I guess I'll have to get started on the basement. THAT is my nemisis! First I have to sort through all of the jackets, clothes and footwear, toss or give away what we don't need or wear anymore...after that, organizing it won't be too difficult. Too much stuff...where does it all come from!? Ted and I have conflicting opinions on what to keep, and what could be gotten rid of...IE: my stuff can go, his must stay. ( and vice-versa. ) Do we really need to keep the Carpenters albums from the 70's? We don't even have a turntable anymore! Yes, I DO need to save the old canning jars...even if it isn't recommended that a canner be used on my stove! Someday, I may have a different stove and want to can some peaches! Then I will need those jars! See...that is how it goes around here. Ted has been trying to get me to get rid of my stained glass tools and supplys for years. He cannot understand that "someday" I may find the time to do it again, (that may be all I can do,) and I don't want to replace everything again. I should make a deal with him, that IF I loose both of my hands or arms, and really cool robotic replacements haven't been invented yet, then he CAN get rid of my stained glass stuff. Otherwise, stop bugging me about it!
Sorry...I seem to be feeling feisty today. Better go.

I think we're going to have a great garage sale! :) Between the Carpenter's albums and my broken kid's stuff we should rake in the dough. And get rid of stuff! I think I probably get my collecting/pack-ratting from you (although I know dad tends to hold onto things he'll never use again as well).
