so the pink house is in a bit of a transformation mode.  the kitchen floors were disgusting, and our really nice landlords have decided to have them re-done.  it only took 6 months of asking, and i am so jazzed about it.  they're taking up the linoleum and refinishing the wood that was underneath. 

the whole house smells like wood stain and polyurethane, which is rough when you work from home.  its also hard to have the stove and fridge in the living room, and to not be a believer in microwaves.  i've been eating out for every meal and its getting annoying to not be able to eat anything in my own house.  on top of that, we have no air conditioning.  stagnant, hot, polyurethane filled air.  awesome.  cosmo is staying at the neighbor's house.  they have a cat, but i think that a cat is less of a threat than deadly vapors. mmm?

so, all of that wraps itself up into me being a bit stressed out.  the whole kitchen is on tables, surrounding me as i type, and i'm still in my yoga clothes from this morning because i had to do the whole out-for-breakfast escapade..... and now its lunch. so i have to leave again. 

this is how my brian and heart feel:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what's exciting though is the anticipation of MONDAY WHEN IT WILL BE DONE.
what's also exciting is the great dish photos i'm getting to add to my collection which i am hoping to launch very soon.  and by launch i mean frame.

hi Shannon, sounds like your situation is worse than ours. When we get to our new house in "5 more sleeps" (remember saying that when you were a kid!, then we will throw stuff into a box, take it into the house from the RV and that's about it. At first we will need clothes and food - everything is already there. Love this easy kind of moving. Your's sounds frustrating, but it will beautiful soon! love ya, gr ma
