Hmmm... now what are those two things I've been doing at the house the last two days? Oh, that's right- jack and shit!

The majority of this week has been kissing money goodbye as it goes toward various things. I won't divulge how much poorer I am after this morning's flooring purchase, but let's just say that my buddy that runs that department at Home Depot needs to send me a freaking muffin basket and I want visitation rights with my arm and my leg.

The icky tile, dirty carpet and old vinyl will be gone, replaced with carpet in the bedrooms, plank vinyl in the bathrooms and mud room and gorgeous maple floors in the rest of the house that ended up being THE thing every other product selection was made around. We are on a cross-everything-even-your-legs timeline to try and get the carpet installed before our move in date in two weeks but hopefully it will happen and we can have the boys moved into their new rooms and in their beds our first night in our new home. The wood isn't going in (that's what she said) until after the kitchen is done.

Other purchases have included the light fixtures which are the same ones we put in our old home, a new mailbox to replace the LOVELY one with the birds on it and paint to replace the godawful color I biffed with in the bedrooms upstairs.

Stay tuned for next week's kitchen purchase, the giving away of the rest of my limbs and the legal name change to "Matt".
