And so it begins...

On a day full of snow and sun, with Rothlisberger and Urlacher on the fields, and the ripples of laughter bubbling up from the rumpus room.

With each post, I intend to bring a little bit of my inveterate optimism to life through antecdotes and narratives, ideas, conundrums, and questions to ponder. I will espouse views and set upon diatribes which would be abject in polite company (read: discussions of faith and politics). In fact, at times I might sound a bit cynical or even rancorous. I'm not. However, be forewarned: I am someone who knows what I want, knows that it's out there, and likes to talk about it.

Enter my motto: I believe...

On to Today's Conundrum: Where can I find two high-backed wing chairs in cherry or chocolate leather with nailhead trim and mahogany Chippendale legs? And when I say "wing chairs" I'm talking about wings that almost wrap themselves around you, shielding you from drafts and cocooning you in the radiant warmth from the fire. Further, I would prefer to find them at a tag sale or from a reputable dealer who wants to make a fair profit from me and not gouge the joy out of the sale.

Future conundrum: Why won't those in the service industry respond to service calls? Ponder and let me know...


Thanks for perusing this blog. Blog you again soon!

Thanks for the comment, me. I most certainly have NOT given up on finding those wing chairs. I remain ever the inveterate optimist! It could take me years to locate them, but I will not relent. I was well-taught by my mother, a consumate shopper, and her philosophy is to keep looking because it's out there. Further, if it's important, it will be worth the wait (and the search).
As to the general lack-of-response from contractors, I was told just yesterday that "the best ones are always busy and very, very choosy". While enlightening, I remain unappeased and have asked the same questions you posed. The contractor who so graciously offered the above explanation told me not to worry, but to be diligent in contacting others for the work. He said: " The good ones will also be the most professtional." It seems that my mother's philosophy extends to most things, and is shared by more people than I assumed. So, keep searching, phoning, and following-up. Just don't let your house fall apart around you while you wait!Hope this offers some encouragement...
