Lost between insanity & intelligence

Just a way to vent and ramble on, when no one else will listen!

Back to a normal life...

The countdown is over.
It's been 10 days since Paul got to the new house.
It's been 9 days since the movers got here.
It's been 2 days since I unpacked the last of the boxes and boy, were there alot of boxes! 3/4 of a Tractor Trailer was our stuff and about 3/4 of that were boxes. I hate boxes!!!
In the last 3 weeks, since I arrived at the house I have been getting alot of shit done to make this our house. And, Paul has been doing his thing too!
Painted the Masterbedroom, the living room / dining room and the kitchen. Pulled all the fugly wallpaper stripping down in the master bathroom, guestbathroom, kitchen, office and guest bedroom.
Put up new light fixtures / ceiling fans in the master bedroom, living room, kitchen, dining room, office and on the porch. Dad did some minor work on the pool. A new heater is on the way. Even though the pool temperature is generally at 85 degrees, Paul wants it warmer. Wimp!
We just bought all new appliances for the kitchen (stove, microwave, dishwasher and one of the new refridgerators that is a side by side with a freezer drawer on the bottom. Really nice and a great deal thanks to Home Depots 10% off coupon, and over $900 in rebates and gift cards for buying a package.
There's still more to do, to give the house our touch. Paul is gonna paint the guest bathroom & office in some faux finish. Gotta get a ultra modern bathroom cabinet with a glass vessel sink and new toliet. We still gotta pick out new curtains for the bedroom. Still gotta hang the drapes in the office and guestroom and get some window treatments for the kitchen. Roman shades would be nice.
Today we are having a garage sale to get rid of the shit that didn't sell in Daphne and he other stuff we have discovered we don't want or need or have the room for. Hopefully we sell at least 3/4 of it. It's taking up a lot of space in what should be the dining room. Thats the next big purchase. Since we sold the dining room set to the buyers of the Daphne house, it still would be nice to have something. We do pan on entertaining, though poolside will be the main area, that just won't work for the holidays. I want something modern, something interesting. We'll see. We can take our time for that. Not really hige on the list right now. Gotta get a fence put up in the yard first. It's getting really old, walking Roxy twice a day. She wants here freedom to roam. As for the rest of the outside projects...
We'll do that in the fall & winter when the temperatures are more comfortable.

As far as my name goes, I still would be Lost without Paul, so no, that will remian the same.
Until next time...
