Every now and again I get a wild hair up a dark place and think I can tackle a huge project, like rearranging the furniture and cleaning everything to the baseboards in every room in my 3,000-sq.ft. house! Some other wonderful ideas I've come up with were going to Ensenada over the Labor Day weekend with two people I knew from work (actually DID that one to much regret), starting a direct marketing business (but couldn't figure out a product to sell), painting the house and planting the hundred flowering plants I'd bought (I did manage to get most of them in before they croaked, but the painting never even got off the ground).

Another one was buying a motorhome and cruise around the country.....thought we'd go to Florida or Arizona for the winter, New England for the fall, the mountains of Colorado for the spring, and the coast of Maine for the summer. I'd work temp nursing jobs to put food on the table and gas in the motorhome, and my husband would hunt and fish for most of our meat dishes in order to save money for side trips to all the places we wanted to visit.

That dream ended with the advent of grandchildren, and regretfully will remain only a dream.
