Freakin out

Ok.. so, as Matt and Kevin can attest, I spent the day freaking out about our neighbors showing up on the door step with pitch forks after a day of intolerable noise… My solution – flee the scene over to Matt and Brian’s and partaking in a few glasses of wine… Kevin was also nice enough to call our downstairs neighbor and make sure he understood what we were up to (and when it would end)…

But I have to say.. I came home tonight to a freshly sanded and filled floor and DAMN… Looks so nice.. and they’re far from done… Still have to sand off the filler and put the finish on it.. But seeing it look like that makes me feel MUCH better…

woo hoo…

My neighbors are going to kill me

Oh my GOD… I knew that sanding was loud but I had NO IDEA… Its echoing up and down the block… Its CRAZY… I’m SO EMBARRASSED.

The floor

Ugggg… Floring guys come today – them AND the dishwasher repair guy.. What a royal pain in the ass… Since we’re re-doing the hall AND my office we got to spend last night hauling EVERYTHING out of my office into the living room and right now the living room looks like a storage locker. My LORD – I truely am the pack rat from HELL

But this is all gonna look fantastic in the end and all worth it. A working dishwasher and gorgeous hard wood floors..

right??

hmmm… 😉

Weekly Wrapup #70 – On Blogging

1. How would you describe blogging to someone who didn’t know what it was?

Guinea Pig

MAN I love being a guinea pig for a trainee in a doctor’s office… Optometrist has a new assistant it seems and the guy seems well meaning but fairly clueless. Doesn’t give you confidence when the doctor is standing over the guy repeating the same things over and over again and among those are phrases like ‘No… it needs to be CLOSER to his eye before you press the button’…. Can’t the guy pratice on a mellon or something before he graduates to sticking things in my eye..

Paranoid Pete…

(BTW – He’s ordering a test pair of the contacts that Ray recommended… Sure would be nice to wake up and be able to see! 😉 )

Latest ‘challenge’

So we’ve discovered that we have a nest of these fun little bastards

up somewhere in our attic and are crawling out through a hole near one of our living room windows. Started notice them flying about a few weeks ago and noticed where they were going last week and Kevin had an ‘encounter’ with one last night..

But wait.. it gets worse…
