She helps me tyyypep. She thnksshe”s being helpfull,
Gonna be away from the desk for a day or two. I’m going to learn all about light bulb technology, sponsored by The Home Depot! I am very curious about new products available for our lighting, since New York State is forcing us to use CFL bulbs next year. I’ll have a lot to share when I return. Stay cool!




:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.

Isn’t it great to have such a helper as that? Enjoy your time away and your learning experience. Please don’t forget that some us need our Livvy fix.

Good job Livvy trying to help Mom do the typing. You are such a big help. Hope the light bulb deal helps you decide what to use as light bulbs. I have been using the new kind of light bulbs and like them a lot.

I love Livvy–she is so pretty.
We are slowly being forced into CFL bulbs too, which I refuse to buy because of the mercury. This is so crazy–what is going to happen to our homes and landfills with all the mercury???? Another great government intrusion.
