WAITING....still

An update for those who are very sweetly keeping up with our house progress...

We are waiting for the power company to hook us up -- when they do, we will have power and water. Then I can finish painting the touch-up spots and see where I have missed. Once the power (and air) is on, we will bring the hardwood in to climatize before we lay it.

We are waiting for my railing on my stairs to be completed -- there have been a few gliches with its progress, the latest one being that the last box of spindle-things were the wrong ones. All is done except for first landing of the stairs, and that should be done in about 3 days.

We found out we need risers on our basement stairs in order to get our CO, so my husband is working on that.

We are waiting for the carpet layer to call us back with the final measurements so we can pick up our carpet and get that installed.

That is all. We are so close, though, that it is getting REALLY hard to wait anymore. This little place we are living in is SO small right now we are about to kill each other!!!!!!

Have you ever...

Have you ever been so tired that you drive the wrong way trying to get home?

Have you ever been so tired that you fell asleep when you walked in the door, walked to your bed, and fell over -- shoes and all?

updates again

Here are few new pictures of my countertop, kitchen, etc...

I have a lot of flaws, I know, but one thing I can say is that I am truly happy for other people when something good happens to them. If someone gets a nice new car or a great new job or something they have wanted desperately I am truly thrilled to see them get it. I would not begrudge anyone nice things, especially my friends, because I only want the best for them. I guess that is why my feelings are hurt by my friends who have said mean things or acted jealous about our new house. We are excited about it, but in no way is it a competition to see who can have something better or "one up" somebody else. We have waited and saved and planned every aspect of this house for a very long time to get what we are able to have now, but we feel like we can't even ask our friends over to our house now because they might say more mean things or accuse us of stealing their ideas/colors or roll their eyes or whatever. I have learned who my true friends are and who are really jealous people who care more about things than feelings of those they call friend.
