at s that smell matt staggered from the bedroom in his underwear eyes half shut i don t smell anything i pointed my nose into the air like a hunting dog seriously you can t smell that did you go to the bathroom in here earlier i told you to use the room spray when you do things like that matt puffed out his bare chest and gathered his pride as best a man can with sleep in his eyes and a small hole in the side of his underwear i just woke up i frowned catching a glimpse of my makeup less hot rollers in hair state and tried not to think about the fact that i looked fifty instead of twenty nine well help me figure this out because something smells ripe we sniffed the sink drain and ruled it out as a suspect is it coming from the toilet matt asked examining it from top to bottom no that s not it i snapped i m not known for my milk of human kindness in a disaster don t get me wrong i m a survivor i plan on eating my radish like scarlet and clawing my way out of the nuclear dust while dragging my loved ones with me but i won t be doing it with positive phrases and a smile hon i just don t know we ll call a plumber after work maybe it s coming from under the house matt staggered a little trying to get past me and out of our tiny bathroom well that s just great i moved aside and pulled the shower curtain back so i could perch on the side of the tub and give matt room to move out the door that s when the full brunt of nastiness filled the air around us a swirling mix of excrement and acrid stench that would have brought the sewer dwelling ninja turtles to their knees where the normally slightly clean with a hint of soap scum bottom of the tub should have been there sloshed gallons and gallons of brown sewage i clutched the front of my sweatshirt and held my breath matt began to dry heave get out and shut the door i screamed as we bumbled into the hallway i ll deal with this matt grabbed my shoulders trying to talk and hold his breath at the same time i could feel my eyes glaze over the horrors of typhoid and hepatitis in our bathtub filling my mind but more importantly i could envision our evaporated savings account in my mind s eye i could see the long gray hallway at the bank a worker shrouded in a black suit pulled a set of keys from his pocket and unlatched a small locker labeled owen bank account inside were two small stacks of quarters and a few crumpled dollar bills it was bleak not only because the banker with an unimaginative wardrobe gazed at me with an expression that could only be interpreted as you re a big fat loser but also there was a very definite possibility we wouldn t be able to pay for a plumber i wasn t necessarily a spend thrift in fact i was downright frugal when it came to decorating with thrift store furniture and rewired vintage lamps but the fact was we were poor we were starting out at starter jobs with starter salaries we were starter adults with a starter bank account okay i nodded numbly thankful that matt was taking the lead on such a disastrous biohazard but make sure the plumber is super cheap we don t have much money i left for work like a wino stumbling through a fog not really remembering my commute not really doing any work as i sipped my coffee and stared blankly at the computer screen a disaster of such gargantuan proportions had previously been unthinkable in my life and now i found myself attempting to push the image of a vast sea of bathtub poop from my mind but i was sure of one thing anne shirley never had to get ready for work while breathing raw sewage click here to get back to liz s blog love pam posted by pam at 6 41 pm 1 comment thursday july 14 2011 where bloggers create welcome to china chintz and roses thank you karen for hosting the where bloggers create 2011 party i started this blog three years ago when my husband and i moved from the west coast to the east coast of florida at that time i planned to pursue all my creative interests including blogging alas a full time job intervened and three more years flew by in a flash i am once again taking a sabbatical and determined to reignite my creative passions enjoy taking a look around my craft room office which i share with my sweet hubby our office is immediately inside the front door to the right i made a curtain to close off any messes from view this is the view straight ahead as you enter the room this is the view to the right my side as you can probably tell by what s on the walls this is the view to the left including hubby s side our work surface is in the center set at an angle we get better access to our respective storage by putting the table at an angle i can also pivot my chair between the work surface and my sewing machine directly behind my chair just to keep it real this surface is never this clean on normal days i cleaned up just for you the work surface is a lovely wooden table that i found it at good will for 15 one leg had split and it was leaning but the leg was easily fixed with some wood glue and a clamp as we turn to the right here is chloe the dress form and my sewing machine the rolling bins on the left store threads and sewing notions current projects glues wrapping supplies etc hubby made me a board that sets on top of the bins and my serger resides on this surface this window looks out on the front porch behind chloe are some crosses i found at various sales mostly at hobby lobby that i decided to hang together my daughter and my mom laugh at how i can fill up a wall i never start out with that goal but a little wall space is a terrible thing to waste i love china but these pieces are so small they don t show up well on a flat surface i like the way they filled in this narrow bit of wall to the left of the window these are a few of my favorite things my inspiration board is on top my initials in the center a bulletin board below that family pictures are on the right side and the colorful buttons on the left are from our daughter s solar decathalon project last year the university of florida team won for best communications the buttons were a huge hit in spain and their house won the most energy efficient and the online favorite it was a once in a lifetime experience for her that is my serger under the ivory cover i wanted one of these for 20 years before i finally bought it in 2002 the overall view again of my side panning left a tv in the corner for hgtv shows while i m working or ball games while hubby s working if we re working at the same time we are company for each other there is no closet in this room so these three bookshelves hold most of my fabric a little more stashed under my bed all my yarn paints more projects and some office supplies and computer chords i tried to take a closer photo of each shelf from right to left and top to bottom the containers holding yarn are from sam s club and originally had animal crackers in them i peeled off labels and painted lids black to match some pretty boxes i ve had forever containers holding fabric and paint this is hubby s shelf of collectible doo dads from our kids and his coaching days this is our son s first cover of sports illustrated this was a compilation cover with over 100 photographers contributing and we are very proud his photo is to the right of the guys left leg the leg on the right even with where the white sock starts for a better sense of his work you can go to his website more of hubby s side including scanner printer mail file storage a treasured football signed by all the players of the last team he coached before we moved to this coast a shot of my beloved secretary desk i got this about 18 years ago at a second hand furniture store for 100 it was very sturdy and well made but the hottest pink you can picture i used it as my desk for many years but in this room it is a little tight if it s opened it serves mostly as storage for now that brings us all the way back around to where we entered this is a shot of the dining room across the entry from the office thank you so much for coming by to visit i can t wait to stop by your place make sure to go back to my desert cottage and check out the other party

rest in peace redford about six months ago waiting on me to quit taking his picture and love on him our sweet redford went to heaven on wednesday yes i know there is plenty of debate on whether animals are in heaven but i prefer to think of him there he was 15 and had a very long happy cat life but the decline at the end seemed sudden to us just months ago he still chased the dog around the house daily after watching him suffer more than he should have dave took him to the vet on wednesday as they were driving dave was talking to him telling him what a good boy he s always been he told him that he would be with misty soon our other kitty known for her cantankerous personality that died six years ago redford who was very weak at this point lifted his head straight up and looked dave right in the eye dave quickly added the nice misty she s in heaven so she s sweet and redford plopped his head back down and relaxed i m always amazed at how much human understanding animals have

july 6 2008 florida summer i don t know if i ll ever successfully manage to work full time and blog regularly i m so in awe of those of you that do both so well i do manage to get around and check blogs every couple of days but i feel too drained most days to think up a post we are full into the heat of the summer here in florida we pay for those lovely winter months with 6 months of scorching heat at least it has started raining so the fire hazard has dropped from high alert as long as i have lived on the west coast of florida we have had afternoon thunder showers in the summer these are full out deluges where the sky turns black and the heavens open up my new neighbors said it hasn t rained like that on this coast for the last few years about three weeks ago the rains came i m thrilled that the old weather pattern returned in time to make me feel at home we also have a crepe myrtle bush in our yard it is a very late bloomer most of the other crepe myrtles in town are full of blooms whereas ours is just filling out enough to tell it is a crepe myrtle regardless of its pokiness i feel very blessed this is a bush i always enjoyed from afar and longed to have someday we have no mature trees in this area as this part of our town was ravaged by wildfires 10 years ago being a tree lover this has been an adjustment however the beautiful pink blossoms on my crepe myrtle are a soothing balm to my soul thank you god for your blessings posted by pam at 7 07 pm 14 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me pam i live in florida and have been married to my
