Yesterday we put the laminate flooring on the girl's bedroom floor. It is so beautiful. I've waited so long to do it, and this paycheck we finally just spent the money and did it. It actully took 2 days to complete. It is so worth it though. Royce said he walked past the bedroom after it was finished and thought, "wait, that's not our house." It looks so good. It is such an accomplishment. It was so bad before, green paint over concrete, that was chipped and dirty, and cold. The girls feel good about the room now. Still need to paint a little and do the baseboards. Thats the easy part though. We are taking the rest of Feb. till the end of March and concentrating on the girl's room. Then the living room. Maybe Tyler's bedroom too. There is so much to be done. I've waited so long for the floor to be done. It feels so good to finally have done it. Here is what it looks like:
Its called Tundra, color is maple, and is from Ikea. It looks like wood, but is some kind of hard plastic stuff. Very slick and smooth. If you have never been to Ikea you should at least go to the website. They are so awesome.http://www.ikea.com/
Can you tell I'm so proud of it?
We made a commitment to do our house with Ikea stuff. Just gotta get my butt to work.
Saw one of my co-workers/friend at work when I was coming in last night, (Gilbert), and anyone who knows him knows he works continually, and is at a high pay rate, and therefore must make oodles. Sinful amounts of money. To me its not worth being away from my family enough, but listen to this. Gilbert told me he has 3 houses now. The one he is living in, worth 500,000, another one he owns, worth over 500,000, and one worth 375,000. Gonna sell one and cut back on working as he lives off the profit.
What am I doing wrong?
Gilbert's great though. Gotta love him. He was my nurse one time when I was in the ER. He gave me morphine. I love him now. Better living through pharmacology. How's that for a motto in life Heather? Better living through pharmacology. Saw Heather last night too. Ok, maybe I'll go to days someday. Last night Gilbert told me that working nights actually takes about 10 years off your life. I told him the bullshit from the doctors on days would take 20 years off my life. I guess there is a reason they pay us more to work at night. No management either. That in itself is worth the sleep deprivation. No visitors, no meals, no treatments. Need I go on? But maybe someday Heather and Royce. I miss you too Heather.
I'm officially vegetarian now. Its day five. Not so bad. Not sure I will do this forever. But for now.
Oh MY God. Work is calling me. Guess I forgot to tell them something.
Need sleep. My bed is calling.
Miss you Nikki. Hope your music is going well. Sounds like it is. Wish I could hear it.

yeah, work isn't all that it's cracked up to be. I mean, hey, get the money and run, but RUN home. That's where it's at. We got some new gear tonight and recorded a couple of things to practice. It's hilarious the mic is hanging from the fan in the dining area near the computer so K can sing into it. Very ghetto. But I'm happy about it. NOt happy with the work out. That is not going as well as I'd hoped. I wanted to just have this go smoothly. Not happening. Discouraged. But not giving up. I can't. I'm not happy otherwise so I have to just do. ANyway, yeah, I'm tired and might be fighting something, just want to sleep all the time. Had a migraine this weekend too. Maybe it's our old friend Flo, stupid beyatch. ;) Anyway, yeah, I'm glad you got your floors done, sounds like what I want to do with this place. But more than anything I want my own house. Yeah. mew mew. I'm whining tonight. But the music is good and I'm excited about that. I'll talk to you soon. Sleep well. I'm going to have dreams about Orlando Bloom. nighty night
I'm all about ghetto - you know that.
Congrats on the new floor. The house we are living in had 10 yr old nasty, cheap, stained-up carpet. GROSS! Wish we had the money to do laminate or even replace with a nice Berber. I'm not a big carpet fan because 2 of my kids and I have allergies that carpeted floors agitate. It's nice that your work schedule is so flexible. I have thought several times about going back to school. Only need 10 more classes to be an RN, but not sure I want to devote that kind of time/energy right now.
