converting, flooding, and bathrooming

First things first, the cute one has exciting news! I�m sure you can imagine how thrilled I am that she�s switched over to the Mac world also known as the dark side, but there�s a perfectly good reason that I told her to buy an iBook and that reason is this guy. The husband is much better at fixing things than I am. I figured it would be best for the cute one to buy something that, if inadvertently fucked up, can be easily corrected with a quick phone call. The husband is quite good at trouble shooting and repairing things via telephone so I figured he and his evil Mac ways were the way to go. In other news, the digital cable and interweb just went out* (second time in five days - cocksuckerymotherfuckery!) so who knows if/when this slice will make it online. The husband called the 1-800 number and was informed that the outage is due to flooding. We�ve had a lot of freaking rain over the last couple of days. It hasn�t been raining for long periods of time or anything, it�s just that when it does rain the sky appears to drop 3-4" in a matter of 5-7 minutes. The woman on the phone told him that they had a crew on their way to work on it but this was at 8:30pm CST so I�m not so sure I believe her. I�m still hoping to be back on before bedtime but I�ll not hold my breath... In other, other news, the husband and I ventured over to JC Penny today to put the anniversary/house warming gift card from his parents to good use. Unbeknownst to us, a massive sale on all the items we needed was going on so we got a whole lotta stuff for about � what it normally costs. And guess what - I found a purple shower curtain for the master bath! Woo! Though I suppose the more appropriate title for that room would be �my bathroom.� You see, my husband moved into the other upstairs bathroom with all of his stuff and that�s where he�d like to stay so it�s now known as his bathroom. I appreciate his plan in the sense that we can now spread our collective crap all over our own private bathrooms without trying to avoid getting in each other�s way, but I like the fact that we take 95% of our showers together. He says we�ll still shower together but I know I�m not going to move all of my dripping wet shower products down the hall to his bathroom and back and I know he�s not going to drag his either. I also know that I don�t want to wash my hair and body with all of his manly scented products any more than he wants to spend the day smelling like coconut, aloe, or pears. I can�t help but be a little disappointed that 4 years of fun-filled co-showering has come to an abrupt end now that we�ve tripled the amount of bathrooms that we have - not that we don�t spend waaaaaaaaaaaaay more time together than most couples but still, what�s better than naked AND wet? ;-) Outside of that most of what�s going on around here consists of finding permanent homes for our all of our crap. I think we�re somewhere in the 80% range of being done and I hope to be 100% done by the end of the month - and by 100% I mean having EVERYTHING where it�s supposed to be and even having the art up on the walls. We�re still sleeping on our old bedroom set in the guest room and will be for another week or so at which time our new bed will be delivered and set up in the master bedroom. I�m also still trying to decide on an island for the kitchen because I�d like that ordered and here like last week - It�s gonna feel so great to finally have all of this done... |
