I wanna be a rockstar!

Last night Jim and I went to the Third Day concert at Northerly Island. Brittany gave us tickets for our anniversary. It was a balmy night by the lake. The music was great and we had very good seats. I have been waiting to see Third Day for a long time and I was not disappointed.

Wallpaper

I put wallpaper in my closet today. I wanted to put it on the bedroom walls, but after thinking about it for a while I decided it was better not to hang it in the room. I can change paint color a lot easier than changing wallpaper. I am happy with the way it looks. It is very feminine. Husband won't be bothered by it because it is in the closet and he doesn't have to see it all the time. The room is coming along. The carpet is ready to be installed as soon as we put up the trim.

Better Manners Please

What has happened to good manners? It seems that no matter where I go people are rude. I rarely hear a thank you when I hold the door or hand something to a stranger. People talk loudly on their phones in public and bump into others or walk in front of them . I don't know why its okay to be rude. Good manners are a sign of respect for others. They make everyone's day better. I try to be polite and courteous. I am going to try to go out of my way to be polite even when others are not. I need to remember to treat others the way I want to be treated.

End of an Era

Today I went to The Front Gate in Crown Point for one final time. The store will be closing later this month. I have been selling my things there since it opened. I've decided that I will no longer make things to sell in stores. I have been doing it for so long and now is the time to quit. It has been fun and profitable but I'm done. It's time for a new adventure.
