I thought since I was reviving old websites, I would take a second look at Pinterest.  Honestly, I thought is was a gimmicky site.  I didn't get it at all why people liked it so much.

That was before I bought my house.

Now, I understand the purpose.

I had heard on various talk shows about "vision boards."  Again, being a skeptic I didn't think much of it, until I really started to understand my own decision process.

We all have a "vision" of what we want in life.  Vision boards, help us take the idea from a thought to reality by helping the creator of the board to focus on the vision and make it happen.  Pinterest helps the user take it farther.  Not only are the pictures of real things, but they also are available things for purchase.  By pining the pictures of what interests me, I make a record of website locations that I can access later.  No more trying to hunt down the items!

My first focus is on the kitchen.  Money is a real issue right now, and the likelihood of a full remodel is pretty far out.  However there are some things I can start with, and gaining organization of the cabinets is the top priority.

Now if Blogger would only come up with a gadget to let me link the pictures I have pinned to this blog...

It's time to blog again.

Just like flowers poking their petals out from the decayed mass of last fall, I feel a need to get back to blogging my adventures again.

When last you left me, I was torn up over things I can't control.  I can't control the interest level of other men, and frankly, if I am honest, I really don't want their interest.  Not that I dislike men, but rather, I need to like me more.

So much good has come in my life the past 6 months.

I bought a house.

I am soon done with my ex..one more child support payment and I could care less what happens to him.

I have a lot of debt.

Okay that last one isn't a good thing, but I have a lot of debt because of the purchase of the house.  At the midpoint of my life, I have accomplished a lot of things on my own that I  never dreamed I could do.

So this blog is going to take a turn in direction.  Yes, it will still be about me, after all, it is my rantings and musings and such.  But instead of ranting about the things I have no control over, I want to use this as a focal point for how I will decorate and improve my new home.

So the next entry in this blog will be about that.  I will be linking to a gallery soon to show off pictures of the house.  It's an old farmhouse, set in the countryside.  The perfect size, the perfect place for me.

Definitely more to come.
