Yeah I totally get what you mean about the timing. We had a similar thing happen last spring when we tried to reorganize the garage and it took way longer than expected. Honestly I think the trick is just to break it into smaller chunks and not try to do everything at once. My neighbor swears by doing one section at a time and she always seems to get things done faster than me. We just did the shelves last weekend and it felt manageable. I still need to sort through the old holiday decorations though. That part is going to take forever I can already tell. But at least it feels good to have a little more space in there now. Anyway hope your project goes smoother than mine did.

Oh I was just telling my sister about that book you recommended. She picked it up last week and could not put it down. She said the writing style reminded her of that author we both liked a few years back. I still haven't gotten around to starting it yet but now I really want to. The library had a wait list so I put a hold on it. Should be ready in a couple of weeks. Have you read anything else by the same person or is this the only one you have tried so far. I might look into their other stuff while I wait. Also thanks for the suggestion about the coffee shop near the park. We stopped by last Saturday and the iced latte was really good and the vibe was nice too. We sat outside and just caught up for a couple of hours. It was exactly the kind of afternoon I needed. Let me know if you have any other recommendations.
