Oh the Joys of Spring

The joys of spring seem so far away. The cold still lingers in the air, the chill still reaches through my windows and pushes it's way into my coat. How to combat this evil? Well maybe I don't have a world thermostat that I can turn up to at least sixty but I can go ahead and prepare my house for spring. Today I started my spring cleaning, and while I don't spring clean as a general rule, this year living in the upper mid-east where it is much colder than its Georgia counterpart, I have decide I would get my message across to God and mother nature via cleaning.

I have started with my front entry way. I have scrubbed those gremlin's fingerprints off the switch plates and doors (who else's fingerprints could they be lol). I dusted baseboards and trim. I organized coat closets and linen closets, which seem to collect various items throughout the winter. Gloves, ear muff things, camping supplies, picture frames, light bulbs; well they had all decided to gather together on my shelves, so they were sorted and sent to their homes. I swept, I mopped, I even orange glowed. (is that really a word? wow spell check hasn't said anything about that one) The result my entrance looks fan--tab--bu---lous! LOL now if I can just extend this to the rest of the house. :) Until next time...

If your gonna be a landlord....

If your gonna be a landlord let me give you a few tips. 1) Work with your renters, especially if they have been there for two years. 2) Never threaten a renter who has come in and asked for a month to month lease after renting for 26 months, because of a possible international transfer. 3) Know what the legal system will actually allow you to do, know the laws in the areas your property is in not just where you live. 4) Never accuse a renter of a problem without trying to find out the truth.

Now number 1 and 2 go hand in hand. My husband recently found out he might be losing his job or transferring to Europe, being as we have been with this company

for 2 years, I went into the office to discuss my options. I was told they would garnish my wages "ummmmm yeahhh I don't think so" so I told them good luck if Europe. Geez people. Then you start in on number three they say they can charge me for 12 months if I break the lease. I am not sure they realized that they are in the United States and that there is not a judge out there that will allow that unless they were going to leave the unit empty but even then the most you will get is three months. Oh yes and if they rent it before then they would have to refund it as they can not double dip and collect two rents on one property. As for number four, if another renter says that a renter has done something like oh I don't know not pick up dog feces maybe you should have more truth as I do pick up my dogs waste. hhmmmmm so you can shove your $150.00 fine up your rear. A--it is not in my lease B--- ummm yeah not me.


****Stepping off soap box now******

Cover Girl Lip Perfection

So I got my Bzz Kit Saturday and i got not one but two lipstick colors to try. Hypnotic and Rich. The Hypnotic is in a neutral tone, the rich is a red. Scary lol as I am a red head. So I posted a pic on Saturday of my lips before Lip Perfection, and I will post again on Tuesday if I remember. I put it on and wow! It felt so sweet soft and luxuriantly on my lips. I definitely feel like I am treating my self to something special and high priced. Though according to my buzz kit it retails at roughly 6.50 a tube.  It feels really good. I can't feel the rough spots on my lips at all. :) I will keep you updated!
