With the weather getting nice I can get outside and do some of the chores around the exterior of the house that have needed to be done for quite some time. There’s window washing and weed pulling. The deck needs to be pressure washed, and the house needs to be painted.

If you’re like me, then you have a tendency to agonize over gift giving. This makes the holidays difficult for me, but I also spend a great deal of time choosing gifts for birthdays, weddings and showers too. I don’t think that I have to give expensive or elaborate gifts.
