YOU GO GIRL

I figured out how to repair my driveway...by mixing concrete and pouring it in the cracks....

I bought myself a trowel...and just made the seams in the concrete. It's fun...didn't think I could do it...but hey...have to start. An added bonus..is that the ants won't be crawling all over the driveway because I'm fixing the cracks now.

I hope to have enough skills to renovate by myself one day!...Something along the line of a beautiful light fixture. I would like to do that by myself.

That's awesome Dee & very therapeutic. I just put a new kitchen faucet in & repaired my leaking washing machine. It feels great to be the man of the house so to speak! The only time I ranted every swear word on record was last year when I spent 12 hours straight shoveling! but ya know what, I did it & was proud of it. Hard work & the fruits of your labor foster such independent pride. Keep it up girl. I plan on single handely fixing all the issues in my 115 yr old house, with a smile on my face.

I am taking a home improvement class mainly for women, starts soon! Check your local adult school, mine is awesome, can't wait, I'll learn all kinds of things so I can take care of the basics myself! FUN! AND freeing!! Can't beat that!
Dyed my hair tonight, daughter will cut it for me (it's waist length, yucky at my age but I can't stand hair salons) She'll cut off 3 inches or so (she's excited to do it, otherwise stbx would have but she can't stand that thought!), will take 20 seconds and with the dye, hopefully look healthier!

Good! Maybe you can help me fix the 101 things wrong with my old farmhouse?!

You got it! Thanks for the vote of confidence that I won't make matters worse (as has been the case thus far...reason for trying the class!) Hopefully I'll get through the whole thing without being kicked out I really shouldn't be allowed around power tools (or electricity in general, sharp objects, etc.) but I LIKE it!

We can have a sanding & painting party. You help with the labor & I will supply all the wine you can drink & some good laughs:)

Hows the new hair looking Strongspirit?

If we can do the DIY ourselves;

A) Itll get done in a quarter of the time.

B) The air will only be mildly blue

C) We will manage without having a personal 'stand there and pass me.....' assistant.

And most importantly.....

D) Itll be done RIGHT!
