And the crap keeps flowing......


If you haven't heard, yesterday I found out that my office is closing and my last day will be May 31st. I really wasn't too upset, I could sense that it was coming ~ but I did think it would, at least, be a couple of years out.

Anywoo, by the time I got home yesterday, I already had an interview lined up with another company. I interview next Tuesday. It's closer to my home, just right under DFW, they offer benefits, which I pay for now by myself, and I'm hoping it will be more money ~ please keep your fingers crossed, legs crossed, eyes crossed, even your ears crossed, if you can ....... you really don't need to do all that, your prayers are all I need!!

My New Floors

When I get my bathrooms all put together I'll take pictures of them, but for now all you get to see is the tile. Ricky did a really awesome job and I'm so grateful that he came and helped me (my parents, too, of course!) The blue-ish tile is in my "blue bathroom," obviously, .... and the other tile is in my master. I have green paint, the exact paint Patty has in her bedroom, to put on the walls in my master. I'm really excited to finally get it finished, but it's just going to have to wait a little while longer, right now I'm tired so I'm taking a break!!

Crapper....


For the past few years, I feel like my life has been in the crapper!!!! As most of you know, the hits just keep coming for me, and coming, and coming, and coming. My latest episode was last week when my sewage overflowed into both bathtubs (the blue bathroom stunk horrendously!!!) and the shower in my bedroom. Needless to say, my shower door was opened just enough to let all that glorious poopy water spill all over my bathroom floor ~ about an inch in the entire area. Thanks to Tara, Nicole and Sister Starr for coming over and helping me pick up all the "crap", literally. I felt bad that I couldn't help too much, but since I had just recently ripped a hole in my head, I figured it was best to let them do all the heavy and strenuous stuff.

As soon as Ricky, Mom & Dad get here, we'll be replacing lots of stuff ~ I hope!! At least I'm getting a new tile floor in the bathroom, that's good news, and a new toilet while we're at it. Not sure yet what we're going to do with that big poop stain on the carpet in my bedroom floor. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. The water leaked onto my carpet about three to four feet right outside the bathroom door. It's really attractive, as I'm sure you can imagine....or probably don't want to imagine.

BTW, The toilet shown here costs $2,329.20 from Home Depot. Who pays that?????? And how did they come up with the 20 cents??????

Here's what their ad says:

With its clean minimalist design, the Purist Hatbox toilet opens the door to a new era of possibilities for making design statements in the home. Innovative tankless Power Lite(R) technology provides exceptional flushing performance. A Comfort Height(TM) bowl and Quiet-Close(TM) toilet seat ensure comfort, hygiene and safety.

Looks like a garbage can to me!!!
