house update

- we ordered LED canned lights.  so did everyone else, they are on back order until the end of january.
- i can sweep three times a day and make it look worse. 
-to follow up on the last statement, i hear the phrase; "promise bubs, this is the last time i need to drill or sand"  a lot.
- walker can't stick with a project now because until the next big one, he considers them all boring.  i consider them necessary, like doors.
- the oven cooks hot.  like you care but i have to lower temp 50 degrees and take everything out 10 min early.  it's the original oven, a gaggenue, which according to my dad was the bomb in the 70's.  not bomb now dad.
- not having a garbage disposal or dishwasher made me not want to cook.
- i missed cooking.  i found myself on food blogs and looking for new recipes all the time. first official recipe - pasta with a tomato cream sauce and a poppy seed cake.  #letsgetfat
- i have so much more space in the kitchen it is redic. 
- if i say i want an outlet here, walker jumps.
- we finally got HD.  more because my brother made fun of us for not paying for it when we have an HD TV.  he was kind of mean about it. the jokes were justified, HD is like a gift for our eyeballs.
- adding the extremely large kitchen island actually made space look bigger.
- the kitchen layout is everything i ever wanted.  lots of storage, mucho counter space and OPEN. i am gonna entertain like martha stewart pre insider trading snafu - unless someone gives me a good tip. #letsbehonest
- our furniture looks like doll house furniture because of the space. 
- we don't get into heat arguments as much because this house has insulation. #walkerlikesithot
- the view is amazeballs. 

-i love it. and i love hashtags.






these pix are old.  we actually have the sink and range in.  counter tops are temporary because walker wants hand chiseled marble from a country that doesn't even exist. the corner window and door will eventually be replaced too.  as well as the fridge and oven and we still need more cabinets.  oh and an entire deck and a new roof.  the bathrooms and laundry room haven't been touched and really look like sh*t.  this is so fun.  i am so glad we are millionaires- if we weren't this never ending list would really stress me out.
