I've been super-busy remodeling my house, getting kids to & from camps, etc - but I wanted to stop in & say happy 4th! 

I had to get a new swimsuit this year.  I uploaded 2 pics of me in it if y'all wanna check me out!  LOL

Hey Stranger!

How the heck are you??? Been soooooooooooooooo long since we've seen your smiling face, hope you're okay!

Are you coming to the meeting on Thursday?  We probably won't recognize you.......


Hope to see more of you here, and at the meetings!

Yep, I agree, you look wonderful! 

I have to get a new bathing suit. The last one I bought was i*****YIKES! 

Hope the remodeling is going the way you wanted it to. I've been trying to stay away from the computer because of my elbow. It's so bad now that it's even hard to work. Oh well, such is life.

Have my appt with Gibbs about Henrietta Hernia, we'll see what he says.

Hope to see you Thursday?  I'm sure YOU will be there!


hugs and smiles!

Susan

Thanks!

Yea, you are DEFINATELY overdue for a new suit!

The remodeling is going well.  We are even throwing in some landscaping, etc.  Lowes has seen a LOT of us lately - more than Wal-Mart even!  LOL

We got 2 new trees & 10 or 11 new shrubs.  Those went in the ground this weekend after we got them.

Before that, we special ordered our new fridge to replace our last fridge that had the door that annoyed me.  It came in early, so we went & got it Friday.  We have in unpacked & installed, etc.  Our OLD fridge is still in the kitchen though, just pushed across to the other side and still plugged in, etc.  I've got to move it out to the garage where it will serve as a holding fridge for bottled water, etc for my dad's workers, etc. 

We bought our new range hood (our new range was already bought & installed a few months back - this is just something we never got around to doing when we bought it).  We bought everything to install it, etc.  We just have to get the time to actually DO it. 

We bought our new toilet and it is still in the box in our living room.  (I know... things are packed in everywhere.  Remodeling is NOT fun in some ways.)  We are not replacing it until they redo the flooring in the house. 

Speaking of flooring, the floor installer was here about 5 today doing the measurements for our entire home (carpet & vinyl since we're getting the entire floor replaced throughout our entire house).  This is one of the things I am MOST excited about.  (That's good because it's one of the things that is going to cost the most as far as single purchases go - running about $4500 - $5000.  But it will be worth it.)  We're getting a beautiful long-lasting (as in probably forever) vinyl for our bathrooms, utility room & kitchen.  We picked out one that we're going to use for all the rooms - it's so warm and pretty.  We also picked out just one carpet to go in every carpeted room.  It's a warm patterned berber.  I'll take pictures.  I wish I lived close enough for y'all to see it when it was done.  (Not now.  LOL!  I'd be ashamed for anyone to see the shambles this place is in now.  I was even embarassed for the floor guy to see it.  I mean, who has a boxed up toilet in their living room?  I DO!) 

We've already purchased our new light fixtures for the kid's bedrooms and the hallway.  We have NOT chosen new lighting for anywhere else though, so we've got to get on that.

We've already purchased and installed new overhead fans for both bathrooms, including new covers. 

We have picked out but not purchased our new cabinets for our half bath. 

We have NOT picked out any of the new faucets for either the bathrooms or the kitchen.  So we have to get on that.

We have not measured our countertops for the full bath or the kitchen yet.  Since we're custom ordering our countertops (so we can get the sinks built in as a solid surface), we have REALLY got to get on that.  That's going to cost a lot too.  I'll cringe writing that check as I'm sure it will be almost as bad as the flooring.

I have already picked out the matching dryer to go with my washer.  (I've already bought & installed the washer a few months ago when my old one went out.  I still have to get the matching dryer though.)  I'm waiting on that until the floor gets done and we're moving them anyway. 

I went on eBay a month or two ago and bought a 20-coupon-lot of 10% off coupons at Lowes for about $16 - which I made up for with  my first remodel purchase (the fridge). 

So overall, the remodel is going good.  No major setbacks yet.  Nothing costing any more or less than we expected.  Like I've told ya, we're going to keep going until the money's gone.  At this rate, that won't take long. 

I forgot to add - OF COURSE I WILL BE AT SUPPORT GROUP.  I am even bringing a few clothes & shoes!!!
