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

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

Man in tree

It’s a two post day! So here in southern Georgia we’ve got these pine trees that are for real tall.  I do believe they are called slash pines.  Very tall and they don’t branch until well over 10-15 feet up. … Continue reading

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

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

Installment #1. I don’t know if you heard, but we’ve moved again.  And this time we (after many trials and tribulations) bought a house.     What you may not know is we bought an ugly house.   Bless her … 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

I can not be alone here.

Seriously I can’t be the only person that has sung this song to themselves this entire season of Top Chef. I really really do not like this song.  I mean I guess it’s alright every once in awhile but blech. … Continue reading

THE SEARCH IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the reward is sweet indeed. I considered buying multiple boxes but I thought that would just be insane.  So I only bought four. They are so berry berry tasty (yea I can’t believe I did it either).

Dear neighbors;

I am completely understanding of the pitfalls of apartment living.  I often have no problem with it.  We live on the second floor so it is understood that we will occasionally have to listen to things both above and below … Continue reading

On the road again…

Growing up this Willie Nelson classic was one of my favorites.  Quite the foreshadowing if I do say so myself. That being said- it’s been a year soooooo…….. We are moving again! This is into new territory though.  We are … Continue reading

I am on an epic quest

to find my favorite cereal.  I have searched high and low to no avail.  Everytime I go to the grocery store (and this is no exaggeration) I check and see if there is that familiar purple box.  But there never … Continue reading

This is why I could never work in advertising-

because the first time someone told me to relate furniture to current events I would look at them with an expression that fully conveyed how asinine I thought the idea to be. But apparently there are people who are able … Continue reading

WHY? OH GOD WHY?

I just recieved some tragic news.  Really cut me down. Apparently Barack Obama is trying to push off the “digital revolution”. I guess there haven’t been enough coupons or something. Have I missed something major here?  Hasn’t this been going … Continue reading
