I haven't added to my blog lately.  Seems summer has been extremely busy.  The weather here in Michigan has been very warm and humid, so this was the year I added central air to my home.

So far this summer, my cottage is back under construction, with me ripping out the ceiling in my living room to make cathedral ceilings and accessing the attic.  If at all possible, I would like to turn the attic into another bedroom.  I am also having my entryway opened up and turned into an actual foyer.  Stuff is sitting everywhere around my house to accommodate the livingroom.  It is so exciting to see the transformation my cottage is taking.  I love living here.

I am also working real hard towards my DIQ (director status) with Mary Kay Cosmetics, which is my business I run from my home.  What can I say about Mary Kay.  It has afforded me to stay home with my children, buy newer vehicles, restore my cottage, put braces on two of my children, send one child to college, pay my bills, take vacations.  Oh, the possibilities have been endless with Mary Kay.  I am having so much fun meeting other women and making a difference in their lives.

Plus, my two youngest children are homeschooled and we have been very busy filling our 2005-2006 school year calendar with piano lessons, drama class, swimming, gym, skateboard club, basketball, Odyssey of the Mind and rehersing for the performance at the Michigan Renaissance Festival in September.

Well, I hope that everyone else is having a fun-filled summer.  Now I need to plan a vacation.  Talk to you soon
