What's that they say?

Good fences make good neighbors?

Well, out back, new neighbors moved in about 9 months ago.  Never have met them.  Apparently male neighbor stopped by and said something to my son about the fence and how he wanted to fix it was it okay?  My son said yeah, knowing that we were going to be putting up a new one AFTER the kitchen and deck are done, that was the 3rd project...

Well, this smacked a$$ decided to butcher my Rose of Sharons along my side of the fence and leave anywhere from 3 inches to 16 inches of trunk in the ground.  Mind you these plants were behind our shed (3 years old) but they were mature and very tall and blocked our view of his house, which is in poor condition.

The fence is in very sad shape and needs replacement but this smacked a$$ took it upon himself to come onto my property and cut down my mature plants without asking.

I'm so pissed I feel like contacting a Real Estate Lawyer and suing the crap outta this smack!  Ugh, I guess the crappy fence made a crappy neighbor... assuming we'll not be friends either!

It's Getting There...

New eating area getting walls, 

Counters and backsplash are on their way to finish...

Almost done, invites to come!

I can smell a kitchen in the offing! YAY!

It's really getting harder...

to get up and go to a job I hate.

Actually, it's not the job so much as being told just about everything I am doing is wrong!

Got reamed again yesterday.

I have never felt like a failure as much as I do since taking this role.  I do believe my boss is pushing me to leave so I guess I will begin to do a job that I truly, truly hate to do... look for a new job!

Ugh, time to get ready and head into the office!  I tell ya, if I'm gonna get reamed, I'd at least like to have an orgasm for putting up with it!

Grrrrrrrrrrr...

My Princess Bride

As I said, we are in the 'Say Yes to the Dress' phase for my daughter's wedding day...

Thought I'd share a few images of her in some of the dresses she's tried on so far.  The decision is going to be very hard since she's beautiful in everyone!  I know, I am probably biased but she truly is beautiful!

This first one is the one the salon owner brought out for her.

This one, however, is the sole reason we went to the salon... this is the dress she wanted to see and try on.

Simply smashing!

Then we tried one with some 'bling'

See, beautiful, huh?

Then one a little more inline with her ideal gown...

She'll be such a beautiful bride!  Even if she's in a brown sack!

We liked #2 and #4... still more shopping to go.

Three Point Eight

Week One Result
In the right direction
Thumbs Up Everybody
Thumbs Up!

We have flooring!

I may just get a kitchen afterall!

Not my first choice but a good 2nd... 

Doesn't the flooring match the two 

types of cabinets nicely?

I can smell the coffee brewing!

Flooring Finally!

Here's hoping the project gets a jump start
into high gear and gets completed soon!
