The first visit

Braska and I went to the house last night to check things out. Not sure what I thought I'd find but an empty house (and it was dirty...what's that about? Clean your house when you sell it, people!! We left ours spotless!), and that we did. But there was a big dumpster in the driveway. That's for the demo that starts today. Pics of that when it gets underway.


You can check out Braska's tour of the house on her blog.

There's work to be done cosmetically for sure. We'll get to some sooner, some can wait. This is the border in Braska's room. Pandas are her theme anyway, so it works. The blue is not what I would choose (not that I would ever choose any border either) but we're gonna leave it for now.


This is the border in Pepino's room. Noah's ark is always good, but the green is a bit much for me. But again, it'll stay for now. Looks like Pepino's got a theme picked out for him/her already.


There's alot of wallpaper in the bath and the kitchen, along with ALOT of oak (have I mentioned that I'm not an oak fan??) so we'll deal with some of it down the road. Right now, the goal is to get the demo/construction done, carpets cleaned after that, move in and settling. Cosmetic has to wait this time...

Heading over there in a couple hours to let the demo team in. Should be interesting...

  1. have fun making the house your own...even if some of the changes need to wait...and what's with all the wallpaper? I didn't think people did wallpaper anymore...

  2. Ah yes, wallpaper. It stinks. Our house we bought a few months ago is full of it. Now, my MIL? She loves it. But she picks out decent motifs. It actually works in her house. Needless to say, we're going to be borrowing a steamer to get that stuff off the walls soon.
    As for a dirty house: I HATE THAT! Our house was FILTHY when we moved in. Argh, that irks me. Sorry you're having to deal with that, too.
    What are you demo-ing?

  3. We'll have to drop by with a box of more Noah's Ark stuff for you from Triston's old "nursery". Enjoy your great house!

  4. The first house we bought was a mess! They left all kinds of trash for us and a pair of longhorns on the livingroom wall! Not our style at all. It was a real eye opener. I always cleaned my houses and they looked better for the buyer than when we lived there!

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
