home upgrades

No update on weight as I have not weighed myself... I keep forgetting in the morning *LOL* I will remember an post tomorrow.


Whats been happening since my last post. Well a few things have been going on behind the scenes but nothing that needs to go onto the blog. Overall its been a busy week, as they all seem to becoming. College is hectic this semester for some reason and it seems to be constant from one thing to another. For now it is to produce a 6 page (double spaced) paper by midnight Wednesday. Perhaps I will get stressed closer but I feel ok about it.


I have been looking at our house, in and out and the yard to see what needs to be done and that I want to be done. Here is my list of things needing done or I want to do.

Master Bathroom

  • Finish paining the ceiling - removed popcorn ceiling and did 1st layer on drywall.
  • Install Light
  • Finish stripping last of wallpaper backing
  • clean the damned shower/bath tub - the upper section is scary.
  • Tile from top of shower/tub unit to ceiling.
  • replace toilet. The toilet itself is ok but the seat fittings are rusted, seal is shot and I don't like it
