Gittin Er Done

What a long day. We are making more and more progress on getting stuff done in our house (long story short, our house was a piss poor rehab job many moons ago and we're fixing it all up piece by piece, bit by bit) and tonight we feel very accomplished. The day started rough. Hobbs got me up at 610 to go outside, much later than he usually does, usually it's 430-530ish. I considered going back to bed. Then I thought better of it and decided an hour and some change to myself, my MacBook and a cup of coffee would be nothing short of a miracle. 20 minutes or so later, hubs comes down stairs, fraught with a work dilemma (never a good thing before 7am on a Saturday, I assure you)that he promptly headed out the door to fix. He dealt with that, and came home with doughnuts and we headed out for a morning jaunt to Home Depot. We ended up having proverbial married-couple-at-home-depot-for-house-fixer-upper-supplies-words, stemmed from much confusion and frustration on my part (what we've been thru with this house has been a bit of a sore spot for me.) Somehow we pulled together and got the stuff we needed to start our weekend projects. By the afternoon we were back on track. After lots of tinkering and reading between the lines of terrible installing instructions) we got one fugly 1970's style ceiling fan replaced with a new modern style one. We have two fuglies left to do, tomorrow. My hubs also purchased a circular saw and trimmed a little off of our kitchen door to the garage since the new flooring added about 1/4-1/3 of an inch more to the space. I am very proud of him, he did a great job on it and he looked sexy operating such a loud, scary power tool. ;-) 

We congratulated our efforts by getting Oklahoma Joe's for dinner (Only THE best place to get BBQ in KC.) The child is down, and I think we'll be letting Mulder and Scully entertain us for the duration of the night. 

Sorry I don't have anything better than "this was our day," for an entry. I still have 351 entries to go, cut me some slack! :-)

OH! And I found yet another great TV show tonight. Animal Planet's "My Cat From Hell." It was ridiculously marvelous. Cats attacking their owners, yes please!!!!

Nite!
