Last weekend, our washing machine betrayed us, and we haven’t trusted it since. But we had to do something, quickly, or else both Kev and I would be wearing dirty underwear very very soon.
Fortunately, this is a cheap and easy fix. We have a “spare” washer and dryer in storage. They’re Kev’s. […]

MOSTLY ups.
In order to increase the chances of my going to hell, I decided to play hooky from church and the choir* this morning so I could sleep in and have lazy weekend morning sex with Kev.
*shit like this always backfires on me. later I will find out that there were NO altos there, […]

If hell were a house, it would be decorated with wallpaper. Flowered wallpaper. And it’s peeling.
Wall paper is absolutely the WORST invention ever. EVER! It is ALWAYS ugly, and, unless it is put up by a professional with great care, it ALWAYS shows seams. And even if , after a […]

we are 99% done with laying the quarter round around the new flooring, finally. The rest will have to wait until we get the “transition” flooring pieces that separate the rooms (stupid flooring store was out of our color. stupid!).
Some people out there may be saying “ESC, it shouldn’t take TWO WHOLE DAYS […]

at Home Depot
Kev: we’re also going to need a lot of caulk. Have I ever shown you how to caulk?
ESC: Sweetie, I am QUEEN of the caulk. I’ve done LOTS of caulking. These hands have handled more caulk than you can IMAGINE. You will be JEALOUS of my sweet caulk handling […]

Wow. Lots of people had something to say about where I should get my tattoo. Of course, I’m going to ignore most of it and get it where I want to. but still, wow. Thanks! After all this, though, I hope I actually get one. I tried to call […]

I have caved under pressure and removed popup commenting. You may all now rejoice.
We’ve taken another step backwards. Several steps, in fact, regarding the floor. I am consoling myself with the knowledge that we are doing this the RIGHT way, and that the floor will be better for it. It’s not […]

…one step back.
Well, we were all set to finish off the living room and dining room, and then put a big dent in the sunroom.
We got most of the way across the living room/dining room yesterday, and noticed there was a spot where the floor dipped down, and the laminate sunk when you stepped on […]

hurt….so….much….right…now….
urrrggghhh….

It’s Day 1 of our floor installation weekend. Acutally, we’re halfway through day 1. Ask me how much we’ve done. GO AHEAD, ASK ME!!!
We don’t even have the stuff taken to storage yet. The carpet it still in place. The condo is a mess.
Now ask me why we are so […]

Phase 2 of “getting the condo ready to sell” has been accomplished: cleaning out our rental storage unit.
It was not easy.
The unit was a disorganized mess. While things were stack neatly around the periphery, everything in the middle had just been thrown in. We organized everything in piles - throw away, donate, keep […]
