The Story Before the Bathroom Reveal

Y'all, it has been a ride. Why are all of our renos involving trades always held up?  Now I could understand the kitchen reno which began March 16, 2020 which is the week all hell broke loose.  The kitchen wasn't finished until July that year and it really had nothing to do with the pandemic.  There were quality control issues with two doors and if you think I was settling for lint sealed under clear coat and the same two holes caused by an industrial stapler on three remakes of a door, you're nuts.  We actually redid our bathroom in 2022.  Do you remember?  Probably not because I hated it so much I never did a reveal!  The deep ocean blue was a pain in my ample ass and for almost three years because it never stopped running.  We had white chair railing and water from drying our hands or showers constantly dripped blue and would pool on top of the white railing sending me into fits on the daily.  Because we'd gone through three different blue...

Aloha Friday and what I'm peepin' this week

"It's Aloha Friday...no work til Monday...doobie doo, doobie doobie doobie doobie doooooooo!"

In case you think I've been partaking in doobies, you can hear the song here.

Now that you've hopefully had your dose of aloha for the day, let's get to

The Mr has a test he has to take tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed for him!  I also have a potential surprise but I can't tell you because he's proofreading this!  :-)

  1. No better way to start a Friday morning than with the Aloha Friday song. You just cannot start Friday in a bad way after that. Thanks for the well wishes on my test too. I will be glad to get it out of the way, that is for sure.

  4. Good luck to the Mr on his test--he'll do GREAT! Tomorrow I did the taxes. I know--hold back your jealousy--as you picture me upstairs wrestling with the old desktop and working with numbers (not at all my strength). You of all people know I don't have a horseshoe up my keister when it comes to computers, so I'm envisioning either it or me being hurled out the window at some point. It really only takes me a couple of hours to do, but it's the most stressful two hours that have me being very inventive with the expletives. Once those are all done, I'll happily put the paperwork away and then enjoy the rest of my weekend. Doing what I'm not sure, but anything will be a celebration to have that chore behind me. =o)

  5. I spent the weekend with my folks. And on Saturday I went skiing. It was awesome! It's been so long and I was worried, but it all came back and my dad, my son and I had such a great time.
