When we bought our first snowbird home, I spent the time looking at pictures of rooms in magazines and sewing some window treatments. And collecting accessories for the new place..and some furniture. You can also drink a lot of wine, but I don't recommend that....or,..... or just read and post on here...which I did a lot and it now has turned into an obsession.

I am thinking about treatment...but not yet.
graciegirl, I see that you are also from Ohio. What city did you escape from? I don't drink wine, but I could easily replace that with a frozen strawberry margarita! I can see how this could become an obession. Sooo many friendly people with lots of good advice.
