Terri has me watching her favorite television shows lately about interior design and home furnishings.  She especially likes the shows where the star designer takes the existing furniture of the client and spiffs it up in some way so that it looks completely different than what it looked like before.  Or perhaps the star modifies it in some way so that it is repurposed; still very useful, but not in the way it was originally intended.

I also enjoy watching the shows where the designer takes a lot of eclectic pieces that might be in the garage or attic – you know, the family hand me-downs that get retired but not hauled away and brings them back into the house and makes those pieces star attractions!  I really enjoy seeing the creativity involved, and I find myself wishing that I had that kind of talent.  It must be really wonderful to be that gifted to be able to visualize the transformation, and skilled enough to make the transformation happen!

We have had so many overcast days that I think I’m starting to suffer from SADD!  It has been really hard to get energized; I feel like I need to keep drinking something with caffeine in it just to keep awake!  Which is really a shame because I know that caffeine really isn’t all that good for you.  Sure, I drink one cup of tea in the morning to wake up, but I try to avoid more caffeine than that if I can.  Lately though, I feel like I need a mid-afternoon nap!  Maybe the tradition of a mid-day siesta is a smart one after all!  I should move to a country that observes the siesta period!
