What's blooming today?

I’m not looking forward to winter this year! Oh no, I don’t like being cold. Hmm maybe I should move to Arizona? I found Scottsdale real estate on the internet. They specialize in fine properties. You should see some of the homes they have listed. Lovely.
It’s not likely that I’d ever be able to afford one of the more luxurious homes that they offer but I can dream can’t I? LOL

I just found a new online directory for small, local business owners. Having been a small business owner myself I know the value of such a directory.
If you have business of your own you might want to visit this free directory and List your local business. Your listing will go into a vertical directory in the category of your choice.
The listlocalbusiness.com site seems to be very easy to use. Simply find the category that best suits your small business, then just follow the directions to add your listing to the directory. Your free listing will be a complete listing that includes your company name, address, phone number, a link to your website and a description of your business or services.
As I’ve said a few times I’m seriously thinking of starting a small business selling plants next spring. If I do I will certainly be listing my business in the directory.

My husband and I have been renovating our house for the last five years. 3 years ago we started to put in a new ceiling in the living room dining room. It’s still not done! Oh we purchased our tin ceiling tiles and I antiqued them. It’s going to look very nice if it ever gets done, but that’s about all that’s been done so far.
You see, a short while after we started renovating the whole living room/ dining room my husband I both became ill. Different illnesses and no nothing that can be traced back to the house or our renovating projects. We had finished our walls with venetian plaster – so that looks good, but don’t look up! We have wooden uh what do you call them? Slats? running along the ceiling, ready to attach the tin ceiling. We don’t really have all that much to do, but even so, it’s still not happening.
I’m getting frustrated. So frustrated in fact that I went looking for Local Contractor Services. Yep. maybe it’s time to stop doing this project ourselves.
I found Contractor Clicks and I’m going through the site looking for just the right type of contractor for the job. I think I might find the right type of contractor under room remodeling. Hey, they even offer 4 free estimates from contractors who’ve been working for at least three years. Alright, well then If can’t get my husband on the move to help me finish the ceiling I might just go back to that site and get me self a contractor.
Hey, I did my part of the job. I did 600 square feet of venetian plaster – two shades, 5 layers- over three weeks! Hand polished and everything. Then I opened up all the boxes of tin ceiling tiles and painted them, and antiqued them – all 83 2.5′ by 2.5′ tin ceiling tiles. All my husband has to do is put them up – with my help. I don’t think that’s too much to ask is it? Well if we don’t start working on it within the next month I’m going to get a contractor in here.
