Tuesday 4 and Some House Photos

 Partaking in the Tuesday 4 and then if you get to the end, there are some house photos, we had a walk through yesterday late afternoon.

Questions....

Welcome to Tuesday 4 in honor of Toni Taddeo...

1. Do you have a favorite movie to recommend?

You know, I love movies...truly I do. I am not one to pick out inaccuracies etc. (unlike my better half and the son who just talk and talk through a movie, sigh)...I like to just enjoy movies;

Jane Austen movies like Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Downton Abby, Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz etc. I also really like action movies like Diehard, Harry Potter, Transformers series, Justice League. But, I also like comedies such as Wayne's World. I am also a fan and somewhat of a snob of old movies from the 40's & 50's like Casablanca, Diamonds are a Girls Bestfriend, Some Like it Hot, Vertigo etc. Sometimes like those action movies, or comedies, one just needs  to loose herself in a movie or to laugh silly.

2. Do you have a schedule for your day or do you wing it?

Of course I have a schedule. I work. I am usually up by 5 am, shower, get around, have coffee, and leave the house by 7:30. Then home and shower again, who wants to be sweaty and stinky from a days work on clean bed linens, just saying. LOL

3. What are you eating/cooking lately?

My husband has been doing the cooking; mainly bbq'ing. I don't eat much now that is so hot out. I have been skipping lunch because of the extreme heat/humidity. I am so busy at work, that time often gets away from me. I have since learned though, to set my phone timer and force myself to take the breaks and lunch, again, not eating much. It is so different from my last job when one had to practically beg to get a break or lunch, not at this job. You are an adult and get treated as such. My boss often comes around and reminds me to get a break in--believe me, the 8 hrs. goes fast. We stay busy, period. BTW, one doesn't have to tell anyone when you take a break or go to lunch or even to use the bathroom, it is presumed already that you are an adult and know how to handle yourself. So, I am told. {{GRIN}}

4.  Do you surf on your computer? Tell us about it, won't you?

Sure; news, conspiracy theory stuff (lolol), HGTV, some tv episodes, blogs etc.

Thanks Annie for keeping this meme going...I still can not bring myself to delete Toni's blog.


So, visited the house yesterday. That would be our realtor and my husband standing next to her. I haven't the foggiest idea what they were discussing as the kid and I were having a serious discussion ourselves about the brick walkway. He thought it was funny and wondered if it went to OZ (I swear, where does he come up with this stuff? lol).


So, trying to follow the yellow brick road in front of the house. The hubby and I are having major disagreements on furniture/what room will be what- placement. I am all for selling stuff (all our extra stuff) and living bare bones minimum. He has nixed that idea. I'm like, you have two storage sheds now...


One thing we can agree on; an above pool will go up. That is the one and only thing we can agree on. I forgot to take photos of the basement apartment, our son will live down there until we decide what to do with the upstairs apartment (which I did take photos of, will show another day, because I am sure you are bored by now, grin).

Indeedy...there is no place like home. We'll get through this.

  1. Hi Linda, we have a lot of the same movie likes! I LOVE, like really looovveeeee old movies from the 40's-50s. I truly was born in the wrong time period. (80's child born like 40-50 years too late. LOL) I love the brick sidewalk. Good luck on your negotiations with your stuff and the rooms. That's always the worst!

  5. The sidewalks remind me of the brick roads my Great Grandparents lived on in Oklahoma. I loved those as a kid. It was something I never saw anywhere else. I did see some in St. Louis while visiting there one time. I love old things.
    Your house is so cute. I am so excited for you. Loved your answers! Have a nice week.

  6. Gosh, it's been so long since I've sat down and watched an entire movie. Truly wonder if I'm not developing ADD? Love the yard ... those steps leading down are identical to what we have! I dread the time we need to think of having a handrail installed.

  7. Hi Linda. I love the pictures of your house - I think you really have a great house there, that will be perfect for your family! That is a really great backyard. We had an inground pool for years in AZ which was so expensive and time-consuming in upkeep and actually we didn't use it nearly enough to make it worth having. I hope an above ground pool requires less upkeep and that you will use it a lot. I am glad you are enjoying your job. It sounds like such an improvement over #1 Retailer! I hope you will post more pictures of the house next time. I can feel your excitement! Have a great week!

  8. Exciting times with a move and settling into a new home. Start watching those decluttering shows. They give one lots of ideas. That's usually where they remain...as ideas.

    How fabulous that your new employers are not micromanaging your day. But you must eat and drink, Linda. Sorry. You don't need someone mothering you.

  9. You picked some pretty good movies. Loving what I'm seeing of the house and above ground pool will be awesome. I'd like to get our house down to bare bones too, but I'm not sure I can make myself get rid of stuff, but I intend to at least get it a lot less than it is. We're planning to put in new floors and paint in November, so that gives me a little time.

  10. I am so glad you got to go through the house again, and I can't wait to see more pictures with explanations of which is which, etc. I am sure whatever you decide, your home will be homey and fun and happy. OOOhhh, an above ground pool? Really? That should be fun in the summertime! I know you are going to enjoy your home. Glad to see it has a garage/carport? That will be nice in winter especially!! Keep the snow off the car. I hope you don't have to remove the brick sidewalk, but if you do, put the bricks somewhere where you can enjoy them...a patio, or a fire pit or something pretty. Just have fun and enjoy! So happy for you.

  12. Oh, those are some great movies! I didn't think to mention really old ones. I love old comedies like Abbott and Costello, Crosby and Hope, Martin and Lewis...
    Sorry again about the house.

  13. We have the same tastes in movies. Those old films are the best!
    Dad put in an above ground pool in the 60s. It's great having one and now with the salt pools, I hear they're not as much trouble.
    Sure did enjoy your answers.
    Love xx
