• Good things going on

  First, I just wanted to tell you that John and I are doing MUCH MUCH MUCH better.  I'm not sure what happened...actually the season premeire of Jon and Kate plus 8 happened.....after that show John told me we needed to do better.  So...I've started to tell him when I need help and when things  bother me.  For example, I told him yesterday that usually the vacation to his parents house in SC is NOT a fun time for me and I explained why.  So...we have been really good with each other for the past two weeks...he even cleaned out the fridge on Sunday morning (not completely but.......) and let me take a nap on Sat (cause I wasn't feeling well)...but...it's a step in the right direction.

  Secondly, there are alot of home improvements going to start at the Lombardo house.  We had a friend come in to give us an estimate on painting the kitchen, the 1/2 bath, the laundry room and replacing all the trim thru out those three rooms. I want all the trim in the house to be the wider moldings.  Now I need to find colors.  Kristy, thanks for warm muffins but it's a bit too brown.  I think I like summer harvest from Behr...but actually have a mug I think I want to match it too.

  We ordered a sliding door to replace the double window in the dining room....for access to the deck.  John and my cousins hubby are going to work on that.

  We want to replace the deck boards on the deck with Trex. It's something John will work on with my brother.  We hope.

  We also bought a new kitchen sink and faucet (nothing fancy) and are contemplating painting the cabinets again ourselves.  We also bought a new top for the sink in the laundry room.

  I'm trying to be patient b/c I know it's going ot take time and the house will be torn apart for a while but I'm so excited...tho the kitchen...well I'd really like a new one but I'll deal.  I'll have to post before and after pictures.  We are thinking of having the painting done while we are on vacation.  Then I won't have to see the mess wtih that and work around the laundry room being pulled apart.

  Also, I got my hair cut and colored on Friday....still working the Kate cut...but not the color.  My hair is not so long in the front and on the sides.

  work still completely and utterly sucks.  UGH, I wish I could get out. I really do.  I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT!!!!!

  Oh and one last parting note, hemrrhoids SUCK!!!!!
