Roofs

Some people buy fancy new cars, find new spouses, have affairs , get botox or some sexy new hair do when they turn 40. I on the other hand I buy a roof. I inheritied a old house about almost a year ago and have been working on fixing it up. At first I was just going to do just needed to be done and do a little at time. Well once I got started the house has become my Mid life project. I found it exhilerating to be able to make decisions about something all by myself. For most of my life I had my mother telling me what to do ( which she still does to some extent) and a husband ( now a ex) controlling my ever move exspecially when it came to our house, everything had to be HIS way, and we also had to the projects HE wanted to do. So now I finally own a house all to myself, and while some of the renovations have been a little stressfull, it has become my release. So now I am exploring the world of roofing, and right now it seem dauting trying to figure everything out, I know right or wrong it will be my decision. So a am beginning to see being an adult may not be such a bad thing......

Ok --New to Blogging

Ok this is my first attempt at blogging. I didn't even fully understand what a blog was until I recently watched the movie Julie and Julia. This movie made me stop and think about my own life. Like Julie in the movie who was turning 30 I am now 2 months away from turning 40 and because of this I have starting thinking more about the things I've learned about life up until this point and also about were my life is headed. I figure if I am lucky this is about the half way point in my life. So I decided to start this blog to help me figure things out. I hope I will not bore anyone with the mundane doings of day today living but as I approach this midpoint in life I realize each day no matter how mundane is important and we can't keep looking for that next big event. Everyday is special and we need to live each day and find that special part of it. That's what I hope to accomplish.
