A place for random thoughts....

I saw some coat racks that you hang on the wall at Lowes Hardware. I also saw some at the Craft Fair made from antique door panels that they had installed hooks onto and they looked very cool. I think I'm going to try to do something like that. :cheers:

 

:hurray: I've been drowning in school work lately. I just finished a paper that counts as 20% of my grade and I actually have a muscle spasm because of the stress and sitting in front of my laptop... and I still have an exam to study for!

Back to work... *sigh*

 

Yeah, I don't have anywhere in this office that I can HANG anything on the walls. Pictures are already up and I've got BIG windows in front and on the side which I LOVE. I just need some old cruddy one that I can paint real quick and bring in. :lol: I haven't had the "pit bull" (mom) look for one yet, but if I put her on it we'll ALL have one by the end of the week. :lol::lol:

 

:lol: Nice ones are hard to find!! Lowes "may" have had the stand alone kind too, right now my memory is shot though. I will be back in there in the next couple days and will look. :cheers:

check this one when you get home.

 

If you have a door nearby, just get one of those over the door hooks for a dollar or two (plastic) or a nicer one for a few dollars more.

I've seen that done with old door knobs mounted on a door or a board. Very cute!! Lots of fun to look for that stuff when out and about! Looking around on CL, Harley is right that you could easily make a coat rack from hooks, a board base, and an old column or post. Both projects sound like fun! Think I found a way to spend some of my Christmas break! :cheers:

 

THANK YOU! I'll look at 'em when I get home. big brother has CL blocked @ work. :?

OMG - this is my new addiction, I have spent hours on there just looking at everything!

 

Finally got a chance to catch up on my 40/42'ers...you guys are so funny and sometimes just what a person needs to get their mind off all the serious stuff!

I posted several days ago that things were at the critical point for my Daddy and we were down to having to make a very tough decision. Well, just wanted to let ya'll know that he passed away on his own on Sunday. I have been busy ever since trying to get down to GA, where I am now, and trying my best to make sure his wishes are carried out.

Ya'll would not believe the crap I have dealt with this week trying to get my step-siblings to do what is best for this man. But, now that my husband and I have taken care of all arrangements, they are all ready to get in line first for what they think they are getting out of it. I am so disgusted at this point I just want to do my best for him and once I place him with my Mom, where he wanted to be, I am done.

 

:grouphug: :grouphug:

 

I'm so sorry you have to deal with all that. It sure does seem as though people's true colors come out at times like these. :grouphug:

 

So true ...

I'm sorry for your loss, 2!
