She got to see my place and she loved it! She said it looks bigger in real life. And in case you were wondering the main floor is 1180 square feet. The basement is about 900 square feet. So I feel like it’s pretty big. I mean I’m probably like only what, 9 square feet? So there’s lots of room for other stuff. She had to leave around 7:30 so I cried of course. It was just too short of a visit. I brought Nick and I Mexican food and then spent the night chatting with Lacey. The kids went off to school this morning, and their parent’s come back this afternoon so I’m back on house only duty. On that front some things are sucking, like the sink situation, leaking from the faucet and the pipes underneath. Ah so annoying. I just hope I can get the plummer who did it to come back and fix it.

Good things happen, then bad things happen, then mistakes happen, then it rains. You know, but you live with it. And actually I’m very happy about things today, despite the chill in the air. The basement is done, I mean all the water proofing is done. I got a bit of shock when they said I should let the floor breath for a month before I painted it. Then he said I could paint little sections, so that’s what I’m going to do. Tape off the newly poured edge, and clean. Then seal and paint the area under the desk, washer, dryer, and big storage thingie. I can move all the other things around. So now I’m too the painting part. Besides the floor bit I still need to finish the walls down there, take off old windows and rework the frames (when it’s not raining), and then paint the new windows. Plus the stairwell and the stairs, I’m still cooking up the perfect color for those. I picked out colors today for the fireplace, because I liked Erika’s idea to do the things that bugged me first most, plus my mom’s of getting one room done. I think that’s the living room for me. The first one people see. I’d like it to be all cozy and done. And with this cold coming in I want to light a fire so badly!
It seriously has a bit of every color of my house in it. I love it. And with Sciarrino sitting there typing it nearly looks like a real home, right? Oh ya, the doors, hmm, that’s not high on the list I gotta tell you. I’d rather move in and set up my sewing machine so I can have some curtains, that IS bugging me.I’m actually just killing time right now while I wait for a 15 year olds phone call to pick him up from an after game dance. Yup, I’m watching Nick and Lacey again this weekend, love those guys. Ceara also just came into town today, after delays. Miss her like crazy, and haven’t even had a chance to see her because she’s in a wedding and off doing wedding things. Hopefully tomorrow night I can get her thoughts on my house. I’ve got butterflies in my stomach waiting to hear what she thinks of everything. Scairrino and I are hitting a big sale tomorrow, then more work, then a waterpolo game for Lacey. Sunday is the wedding, I doubt I’ll update, but you never know!

Whoa, talk about a tiring and crazy last 72 hours, I am beat, and so wanting to take a break and watch those last two Veronica Mars episodes I’ve been saving. First things first, so who won right? Well my brother was unavailable at the moment I needed some one to draw, so I had my mom do it, and… SHE CHOSE HERSELF! But we decided that was unfair since currently she sleeps mere yards from the Ribbon Jar. So she chose again and came up with Andrea! Yea Andrea! Andrea my personal computer is currently in the midst of renovating chaos, so if you want the jar shipped to you any time soon email me with your address! So you didn’t win (all the rest of you I mean), don’t be down. Check out all these new beauties:
Of course it looks bigger and better instantly, how do you do that mom?Oh and in totally unrelated, but really cute news, I went to Goodwill today and found this neat clip thing (still in it’s package) for turning anything into a bib. It’s a Kipiis, and on Amazon they are 12 bucks, I paid 99 cents. And listen, please don’t tell me I don’t need to be buying baby stuff, I hear that enough from my mother (but I still love you mom).
