Too Little Time, But Looking Good!

We are finally getting to the end of the project of tiling the kitchen floor and re modeling the bathroom. I am so excited that I might get to take a bath in MY bathroom tonight! Everything looks really good though. I am happy with how it is turning out. We need a kitchen table to put in there now. We had a bar top thingy but we are going to go with a table like normal people now. So, I am checking Craigslist everyday for cheap tables. I gotta say, people are proud of their stuff! It seems that people increase the prices just because they were the owner of the item therefore, it must be special! I can't think of any other reason why someone would ask for $600 for a 1980's pressboard table they got from Big Lots! But, I guess people are paying it so why not ask for it? I guess I would if I thought someone would buy it!

The bathroom seems like it is going to look phoenominal. This was actually a project that I have wanted to do for a while. The leak in the bathroom sink just helped it along. The water damaged the cabinet and we probably could have saved it, we decided to go ahead with the whole mess because we already had to redo the kitchen floor.

Yesterday for dinner I made tuna cakes. Kind of like salmon patties or something but with tuna. I made a healthier version too because I used mustard as a binder instead of egg & mayo and I fried them in a pan with Pam cooking spray instead of 2 inches of oil! I was proud of myself because Chuck said the loved them! It doesn't usually work out that I make something new that he likes. I was surprised when he asked me if I remembered how I made them so that I can make them again.

Then, when we got in to bed he told me that I was lookin' good! I was shocked! It really made me feel good. It made me feel like I am accomplishing something! Like I have said in earlier posts, I want him to be glad that I am his wife... So, hopefully, he likes my emotionally as much as he does physically right now! That helped me to sleep soundly and have nice dreams!

I was able to get strength training done yesterday, but I did not get to go jogging last night because I had to go to the tile guy's house and pay him then go to a friend's house and pick up a couple of tools we need to borrow. Because it was 9:30 when I got home and we had people over to help finish up some things. After my long jog/walk on Tuesday I was kind of looking forward to seeing how I was going to do yesterday, but it just didn't work out that way. Oh well, if it were easy to get all this coordinated then everybody would do it. Today is another day and I will get out there tonight!
