Chrome: tastes like chicken

Sorry for the weird title.  I had mentioned in an earlier post that our renovations were so close that I could almost taste them.  This, of course, was my sentiment as I sat down to write this post, with our loan closing coming up on Tuesday.  It’s close … I can almost taste that yummy cracked ice chrome table that will eventually be in my dining room.  I know, I focus on the table whenever I talk about renovations, but dang, that table is cool.

Just missed the good part

Last night around 8:15, I had just changed into my jammies, twisted my hair up and under a clip, and washed all the makeup off my face. As I was feeding my boys a bedtime snack, I noticed an orange glow emanating from the window.

Meanwhile, back in Iowa …

Apparently, our bank’s phones have been hijacked and they are unable to provide an update with our home improvement loan. I know, I could call them too, but I need to take a breather after the weekend I just had. Assuming that our renovation will get going soon, it was the perfect weekend to precede what will probably be a crazy building mess. School starts next week, which will just add to the joy that is Everyday Life. Goodbye, summer, hellooooooo classes! Continue reading “Meanwhile, back in Iowa …”
