Morning friends. Peacefully sitting at work, sipping coffee, listening to Adele “Make You Feel My Love”. It is a remake … I love her voice though, and it is a gorgeous song.
Furniture was stressful yesterday. I don’t want to rehash the whole scenario because I don’t want to get upset/stressed out again. Basically, the bunk beds are built and beautiful, but they drilled one of the slats on crooked - almost diagonal - instead of straight up and down. I didn’t notice until after they left, and that was because I was too busy with Customer Service Home Damage department because they tore my son’s cable out of the wall. Yep, just ripped it out instead of asking me or just unscrewing the little metal pc. Wires all hanging out. So my boys have a new bedroom, new flat screen TV, that they CANT USE. First they tried to say it was like that already - GRRRRR - then the other guy (who didn’t speak english) must have told the english speaking one he did it, and the english speaking one apologized to me. The furniture company is going to pay for it, but now I have to be home from work tomorrow for the cable company. AND I am freaking out because where the cable company needs to repair is now behind the new bunk bed, and I cannot move it, and even the two furniture guys were huffing and puffing moving it without the mattresses, and now mattresses are in. So what am I going to do? See, now I am getting all worked up again. And, I will need to be home a THIRD day for them to come fix the crooked slat, which, btw - I have NO idea how they will fix it because when they move it, there is going to be a HOLE. Frustrating.
So anyway, here is a pic of the beds/bedding … I didn’t do a whole room shot for them yet because I am still waiting on the Mets rug, and need to do a little more decor. It is a cool bunk bed though, the boys are thrilled.
I bought chalkboard paint so that I could do a chalkboard wall for the boys, but now I have virtually no wallspace for it … the other side of the room is mostly closet doors, and the other one is windows/TV/another dresser.
Anyway, after all the room drama died down, I went to therapy (good) and back home, then went to my Centergy class (good). Food was good but I was feeling a little hungry at night and ate half of a devil dog.
Food:
Exercise: Get Chiseled DVD … boy do I need a break. Last night at class just doing Warrior pose my arms were killing me! Just very fatigued. Tomorrow is kickboxing class, then Fri-Sat I am having a BREAK!
I also need to cut the grass … but I am thinking I may try and put it off until Friday night. That’s what every woman wants to do on a Friday night, isn’t it?
Oh btw, I still haven’t heard from MBFF. :-D She did answer my text about furniture yesterday, and seemed fine. But she isn’t on AIM for the second day in a row, interesting. This is actually a welcome break. My T. thinks I need to set boundaries with how much she contacts me … she gave me an example of what to say and I said “OMG! MBFF would go into a total panic attack if I said that!” LOL which is true! Sigh. Whatever.
12 days till vacation!!!!!!!!! Holly - I think it was you who had asked - it is Turks and Caicos. Beautiful!
Have a great day ladies! Off to fight more with the furniture store soon!

DD’s room is soooo cute! I like the bunk beds - espec. the stairs/storage! Very useful!
I checked out the link from the other day for your vacay spot - wow! No wonder you’re looking forward to it.
I think it’s a good thing for mbff to back off the constant contact.

The rooms are awesome.
Okay, I am fairly worldly but honestly have no idea what Turks and Caicos is. Is it a place? Island? resort in the states????
