Bye bye bafroom....

So we've obviously been bitten by the 'let's fix the house up" bug. This blasted bathroom is so hideous. Well, it was. Now it is completely demo'ed. (I don't think that's a word) Here is what we started over the weekend...Jack was a big help as you can see :)

How I know I'm getting older....

Wow. The thought occurred to me today that I will be 28 in three months. Now, by no stretch of the imagination is that "old", but it's definitely not 18. In fact, it's ten years older than 18. And most of the time, I still think I am 18 as is evidenced by me frequenting Claire's Accessories and Charlotte Russe at the mall. :) But alas, I am rapidly approaching the sunset of my twenties. Here are just a few things that remind me of my stage in life--oddly enough, several of them are music-related:

1. The songs I download on my ipod are like "Voices that Care" and "Lost in Your Eyes"

2. Now when I play on my city league soccer team, I'm one of "those" moms playing out their high school glory days...who still thinks she is good and knows what she is doing. But who gets taken by all the 18 year-old recently graduated highschool girls. Crap. I so am one of them.

3. Ethan's darling college-aged cousins who help me out with Sweet Tooth Fairy stuff--who I also consider to be my peers-- don't even know who Debbie Gibson is. OMG. My real "peers" certainly do.

4. I have a kid. WTF? How did that happen? Don't answer that. I know how it happened...but it still seems pretty surreal. And to be having another one in a month? Yikes.

5. I remember when no one knew who Celine Dion was...back when she sang the Beauty and the Beast with Peabo Bryson.

6. Crazy changes to my body--I won't go much further into that one and will spare the picture. :)

7. I remember the lyrics to that tragic yet creepy 80s song "Dear Mr. Jesus"

8. Probably the only person at Estancia who even knows who the Faulkners are is Mr. Perry. Speaking of which, my 10 year high school reunion is this fall. Holy shiz.

10. I remember how Micheal Jackson's "Black and White" video was the greatest, neatest, flashiest video around. Not just because McCauly Culkin was in it, but because of the way the bare-shouldered people "morphed" into another person at the end. You know what I'm talking about. Now, those were some serious special effects.

11. I now know and appreciate the difference between a hand towel and a rag. Sorry Lyn, for all those years I used decorative towels to wipe off the counter.

Sooooo close

So we are so almost there. We've been working really hard over the weekend to get our house back in order and everything "ready" before this lil' baby arrives. I am in LOVE with our kitchen. I mostly just want to go and sit in there all day. The transformation is remarkable. Not that I don't love red, white, and blue, Lyn :), but I am just so happy to be able to have this space transformed. Other than our super ghetto, super 70s guest bathroom upstairs, our redesigning/remodeling days are nearing an end. ha ha. Wishful thinking, I know. But it feels good to at least pretend like there won't always be something we want to change or update.
