roads

Last fall our city of West Bountiful decided to slurry our road.

 What is slurry you ask? According th California Pavement Maintenance Co. it is a method of covering a road surface to enhance its appearance to make it more attractive and eye-appealing. It corrects distresses in older pavements such as surface cracking and will prevent further deterioration. It also offers skid resistance and improved handling characteristics for drivers.

 All I know is that it left the roadway in from of my house, we live in a cul-de-sac with 6 houses total, with black loose gravel.

 The pictures show what I have returned back to the city via the garbage cans over the last serveral months and need to do again soon.

 Where are my tax dollars going you ask?

Ever noticed how the inside of most homes of a certain age are built on the square, 90 degree angles that it. Yes, I am getting ansy to do something to the house. Mike has cringed and said it couldn't be done when I suggested my new idea.

I want to curve the entry way into my kitchen and the dining room.My life is too square. I need to add some softness and character. This applies, I realize, to both my personal life and the house.I have become set in my ways. I have a routine, and it seems, that if that is upset then I can't function for the rest of the day.

I like to be up by a certain time, around 6am. then prayers, scriptures, a little munch, and off to the gym.

I don't shower until the housework is done. It just doesn't seem right to get sweaty doing the vacumming after showering.

I seem to be in charge of the remote control which Mike has let me do. I really don 't always need to watch HGTV or some reality shows. Would it killme to let him watch a Western now and again, no. I do love to read so I could get out a book and do that. I can always find out what happened on the Biggest Loser next day.

So, as I plan to round myself out a bit, knock off some of the angles, I plan to do the same to the house and, hopefully, both will be more interesting to be around.Here are some of the pictures of my square house, but none of me I'm still in my pajamas.
