If Doogie Howser can blog, then so can I! I'm always starting journals and thinking about how fun it will be to someday look back at how trivial things are even when they seem like big deals. I had a book in high school that my friend and I used to write to each other in and whenever I read it, I shake my head at my own naivety. Here's to doing it all over again...Although, perhaps once one hits adulthood the problems aren't really trivial anymore. YIKES! I guess I'll see.
On a different note, Brian and I have making some changes to the house. We tried to sell before the market got really bad, but unfortunately that didn't work out. We'll be here for a few more years, unless we move out of state, so we might as well make the house the way we want it. We took out the old carpet, tile, and laminate and replaced it with Pergo wood floors and some new carpet in the bedrooms. After the floors were conquered, we moved on to the kitchen counters. Before we had the old ones ripped out, I got under the sink and disconnected the plumbing. In the process I think I inhaled 10 year old mildew, food particles, and plastic that had been building up in the pipes. My poor lungs were definitely feeling the effects. Each time I came out from under the sink, I felt like I was going to pass out. That can't be healthy. None-the-less, I prevailed and Home Depot was able to come out the next day and do demolition, make the granite templates, and get to work on ordering everything. Installation would have to wait until the granite had been cut. Meanwhile, Brian is on his P90X diet, so I'm cooking 5 meals a day with no counter tops or kitchen plumbing. I have a whole new respect for people that do whole house remodels. Our counter tops are now in, thank God, but we still don't have plumbing. The plumber we use won't return my calls so I'm stuck doing dishes in my bathtub. Hopefully we'll make contact today.
That's all the big news for now.
