Take a moment
And moonwalk in silence. Remember an artist who could take a four minute song and turn it into (one of my favorites of all time) an eleven minute video that includes everything from racial tension and the need for less … Continue reading
BRB
I have not forgotten about my loyal readers. Just been a little busy- wading through crap I haven’t laid eyes on in two years and stuff like that. But don’t you fear my loyal readers (you know who you are- … Continue reading

We Remember
As we go off to our barbeques and beach vacations (that is where I’m headed!), let’s not forget the true reason for this holiday. For all those who have given their life for this great country- Thank you.
It’s like Christmas
here in the ironbunny household today! Our storage unit, which we filled when we moved to south Georgia the first time two years ago, is being moved today! I’ve already come across numerous things that I had completely forgotten about. … Continue reading
This Ugly House #?
I forget what number I’m on and I’m too lazy to go back and look. Anyways… It’s time for the entryway! I actually just finished painting it so there isn’t anything on the walls (nor is there a new light … Continue reading

There is a reason
we call him “Bronco the Destroyer”. This is why. That would be a paw print on my floor. And this- is a paw print on my cabinet. Along with hair. And dirt. Which leads me to a public service announcement. … Continue reading
Bathroom continued…
Got off track, my bad. The husband decided to help paint so we spent the evening priming the living room. I love the man to death but he sucks at painting. Oh well. On to the bathroom. Remember that I … Continue reading

The bathroom I promised long ago
Here it is. You would think that the buildup I’ve given it would result in a huge overhaul… but it’s not. It’s a small change but it’s enough! This is one of those rooms that I forgot to get “before” … Continue reading

Ahhhhhh
My own internet. So fabulous. And I must apologize for the obscene amount of typos in my previous post. It isn’t the easiest thing to do, typing that much on an iphone. Come Monday (have to go out of town … Continue reading

Internet Hell
In addition to the never-ending rain I also still don’t have Internet (I love how the iPhone automatically capitalized Internet). Originally we were going to go with mediacom bit after three days of sitting at the house waiting for them … Continue reading
Rain, rain, rain, and even more rain
This is the scene from south Georgia. We have much rain. We have too much rain. We have hail. We have strong winds. We have tornadoes. We have sirens. We have downed tree limbs. We have more rain. We have … Continue reading

Mea Culpa
I know I promised the Master Bath today but it just isn’t going to happen. I’ve been busy trying to get some boxes unpacked and (to no avail) find my flatware. I ate dinner with a spoon last night- baked … Continue reading
This Ugly House #5
So the kitchen/den wasn’t the only room we tackled this past week. Nope, we also hit the master bedroom. The idea was that it would be nice to have a place to go to at night where there was no … Continue reading
This Ugly House #4
Color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously by the time we got to actually putting color on the walls I thought we were going to need padded ones. We had already stripped very stubborn wallpaper from the entryway and master bath, primed those two areas … Continue reading
This Ugly House #3
To begin today, I’d like to introduce you to my little friend… The 5 gallon bucket of Kilz. He and I have become quite close over the last week. We’ve spent many an hour together. Good times. Here we are … Continue reading

This Ugly House #2
Installment #2 Let’s see where we left off. Oh yes- the kitchen. Here’s a picture of the breakfast area. You can see the toolbox that we had pulled out in order to replace all the doorknobs and deadbolts in the … Continue reading

Dear baby Jesus-
Please let the house we looked at today show no major issues at inspection. Becuase if I have to come up here (really it’s better to house hunt when you have a chance to go to your seperate corners.) and … Continue reading
Dear American homebuilders of the 1950’s and 60’s-
I would like one of you to explain to me (slowly) the allure of wood paneling. For the life of me, I have been unable to come up with a single redeeming quality of the horrendous wall covering. Was it … Continue reading
