Dex and clem’s new bed

Today I ordered our new stove and hood for the kitchen. I’m so excited about them. Here are the pics!

They’re gonna rock!

Again, Jason does a great job updating on the floor situation. I second pretty much everything he says. I was a little discouraged when I first saw it because of the difference in colors between the old and new wood, but I’m hoping it will season like the contractor said.

I can’t wait to see everything in the kitchen! The cabinets come in next week and I’m about to order our new 36” gas stove. Hell yeah! The first meal we make WILL require 6 pans and/or pots, you can count on that!

Jason does a nice job of updating on the progress of our home renovations. Check it out.

I went out on a limb this morning and purchase a new deodorant. I wasn’t looking for a new one, but this one caught my eye, which speaks to the power of advertising, I suppose. I mean, Secret Platinum and Olay Conditioners? That’s pretty serious. Plus the fragrance is called Velvet Powder. Oooo…nice. I can’t wait to try it.

Thanks for waving back at me yesterday while we were both stopped at an intersection in our matching red Honda Fits. I hope I brightened your day a little by initiating the wave. Your enthusiastic reply was definitely appreciated. Awww… feel the love.

Since you’re dying for a house update, here it goes. They’ve finished trimming all the windows, doors, floor boards and ceilings.

Yesterday they ripped up a good chunk of the hardwood to fix a pretty crappy first attempt to fill in that big square we had under the carpet. Today, we should come home to freshly sanded, stained, and coated hardwood. I think its a tall order, but we’re prepared nonetheless. We will have to sleep downstairs tonight because the polyeurethane coat will need time to dry overnight. However, by noon tomorrow, if all goes as planned (again, I’m not too hopeful), we’ll have pictures of our new floors.

I think it is going to make a huge difference in the appearance up there. I’m excited to see what newly refinished floors in my house look like!

As much as I know it could suck, I would so love to be a model.

Maybe just once….not for a living.

So mom and Jason and I went to see the Simpson’s movie while she was here to visit and, in general, I think it was a very funny movie. There was a little too much hype surrounding it, I think, which always makes the movie a little less enjoyable.

I did notice that they cut back on the racial/sexist/etc slurs quite a bit, but even the ones they did throw in there made me a little uncomfortable. I found it strickingly obvious that those “jokes” are much easier to laugh at when you are home alone and not sitting next to someone of that race or gender.  Which is probably why they cut back on them. Unless the movie is “Borat”, no one should have to feel uncomfortable for that long in a room full of strangers (and a few family members).
