I’m normally a huge fan of technology! Typically I’ve kept up with new gadgets and gismo’s, but this spring I was shocked with technologies power. My phone and my computer together conspired to steal an hour from me. Taking advantage of my slumber they both adjusted themselves to daylight savings time and left no notes of having done so. One week later when I ask friends when do we adjust the clocks I’m told “We did! Last week!” I was a bit shocked. It really felt like technology had taken over and was in charge – I was left in the dark (well in the later light really but…) it was an odd feeling. What’s your worst experience with technology? What’s your best?

Too great not to mention: in case you’re in the market for a condo in NYC. Joan Rivers is selling her penhouse. Not sure why! Does anyone know? Cash flow? Do check-out the pics it is an amazing 5190 sq. ft. apartment and listed for 29 million dollars.

Well it may be a little early to start working in the garden. Soon I think very soon… But meanwhile enjoy 3503 plants, pots and indoor fountains ideas from www.houzz.com that you CAN get started on right away.

I think painting or staining hardwood floors can be interesting MY suggestion is make sure that it can be undone. I had a hardwood floor stained charcoal once. It was stunning, but when it was done we made sure that it could easily be sanded back to natural from a resale point of view otherwise you’re really limiting your target audience.

Oscar Party! I’m happy to just watch the broadcast but if you’re hosting an Academy Award party here are a few ideas for you. Enjoy!
