Home Improvement? -- It's NEVER even as complicated as you think it might be in your wildest and worst imagination, but more so. <BR/><BR/>@ ~m2~: I didn't care for the new Anne Lamott book, though I love ANNE LAMOTT extremely much. Those "2 chapters" (and I'm pretty sure we're speaking of the same ones) pretty much made me want to throw up. Our family has been where that family was 3 times now, and we never resorted to Seconal.

A sort of fast and familiar approach.<BR/><BR/>I think what I liked most about the book was its honesty. The honesty and transparency.<BR/><BR/>But I see what you mean about the negative, and I think that gets better as you read further, if I remember correctly. Yes, I'm almost positive it does.FancyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051762758211575101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14083176.post-3741516686975309332007-06-26T15:09:00.000-05:002007-06-26T15:09:00.000-05:00m2, thanks for the opinion on Blue.

I'll get around to her new one too,and let you know what I think.<BR/> Kat, too funny about the "kitchen" remodel become extreme home makeover. <BR/> Buck, but it's not really done with it not meeting the laundry room floor. sigh...truevynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998290681038658399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14083176.post-4856381246369119522007-06-26T05:22:00.000-05:002007-06-26T05:22:00.000-05:00hey..I got another doorway done last night..only 5...hey..I got another doorway done last night..only 5 more to go!!unquenchableworshipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145872139425272592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14083176.post-27941678499747180472007-06-25T09:16:00.000-05:002007-06-25T09:16:00.000-05:00You brought back memories of our kitchen remodel. ...You brought back memories of our kitchen remodel. Favorite moments that seem funny now but at the time, not so much: <BR/>1. "As long as we're replacing the flooring, why don't we..." (Fill in the blank, it ended up a much bigger project than we planned. See item #2)<BR/>2. "We need a new bathtub, but it won't fit throught he bathroom door...as long as we've got the kitchen wall torn out, why don't we tear out the bathroom wall and bring the new tub in through the wall?" Did I mention this was a KITCHEN remodel? <BR/>3. The day my brother in law started up a chainsaw in the living room. I think I set a land speed record getting out of the house. <BR/>4. The night we had a surprise overnight visitor...all the way from Denmark...in the middle of all the chaos. My favorite pic of the remodel is of him sitting on the bare plywood floor in his PJs hovering over the only item in the room...the coffee maker. He wins the "good sport" award. <BR/>5. The fridge in the living room, the (unhooked) stove next to my child's bed. I never thought I'd get tired of eating out, but believe me, it can happen.<BR/> <BR/>So, you're right, if your marriage can survive this, you can handle anything! Enjoy your new floors, and to put it in perspective, our project went on for about three months! :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710467285514207303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14083176.post-58998254437110588922007-06-25T06:18:00.000-05:002007-06-25T06:18:00.000-05:00ps - loved your interaction with the coffee guy. ...ps - loved your interaction with the coffee guy. way cute.<BR/><BR/>and i will never put a grill together with my dear husband. never again. it stretches your capacity to the limits in such a way as you never thought it would, so it's best just to not "go there."~pen~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07822146312033633535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14083176.post-59238988663617800882007-06-25T06:15:00.000-05:002007-06-25T06:15:00.000-05:00Vyne girl, loved Blue Like Jazz.

And Rob is jumpy because I can't read his new one Sex God. Too much white space in the in-betweens. Weird style.<BR/><BR/>Am now reading Annie Lamott's newest one and was pretty upset with two chapters in a row, but she redeemed herself with the next one. I declared after the two chapters I pretty much hated that I wasn't going to finish the book, but it is kinda compelling.<BR/><BR/>(was that too much info?)~pen~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07822146312033633535noreply@blogger.com
